Cruptic, thank you! It is very encouraging to hear that others seem to like my enviros, since they never seem to satisfy me. Thanks :)
BROM STUDIES! Unfortunately I was so tired that I don't know how much I gained from them -_-
- Very strong use of very strong shapes
- Often contrasts strong sharp forms (triangle, diagonals etc), combined with very round forms (circles, curves)
- Uses some shapes (that are not extremely common) repeatedly through his work
- Uses VERY unusual compositions deliberately (for an alienating effect?), like strong horizontals crossed with strong verticals
- relatively simple, one-figure compositions but placed for great effect
- Contrasts high-key areas with low-key areas in the same image
- Images work mostly through very strong silhouettes and value hierachy, which then gets supported by very deliberate use of colors
- often uses very few colors (or only one and black), but uses the whole range of values and saturation
-> often staying in a very limited part of the color wheel
- repeated use of same colors in whole image
- uses colors to create a certain mood, e.g. uncomfortable or heroic or pleasant
- seems to like the desaturated red, red/orange/yellow spectrum
- complementary contrast
- very subtle hue shifts in very desaturated areas give lots of richness to an image. contrasted by strong, saturated color accents
- desaturated, cold purple/blue/grey skin can look good surrounded by saturated colors
