Happy New Year everyone! Hope it'll be a great one for y'all <3
badbaddog, thanks! Yeah, that’s the thing with time limit (which is the point of these exercises) - can’t give every area as much love as I’d like to.
dodeqaa: Thank you very much :)
Day 22: Snow, because there’s none outside. Yet.
Day 23: Desert rocks, because there are non outside. Yet. Or.. uh… nevermind!
x-mas days: Backup day no. 2 and since I had no digital paint available, I did some sketching in sketchbook which I may or may not scan later.
Day 27: Mediocre result due to the big shape being rather blurry. More time would be needed to figure out the shapes and where things sit in space before using photos. It might serve as an idea-thumbnail and starting point for a hypothetical image where more detail and design gets figured out.
Day 28: Another fail, I tried to capture a light situation that I saw IRL, but couldn’t do it. Solution? Study more from life, and if that is not possible, reference would’ve helped.
Day 29: Referenced from a photograph by Jaik, and tried to find a way to efficiently paint something that’s challenging to me (namely dense foliage/forest, which in photos is just chaos - ways to group and simplify may be the way to go. Didn’t quite figure it out here.
Day 30+31: This one counts as two, because… I say so :P Aim was doing something avoiding the urge to make everything rounded and puffy. As a side effect, I noticed that I really do miss using reference when doing something like this - for more interesting rock shapes, better color schemes etc. But it is good to see what comes out without looking at much reference.
