Danny's crappy book of sketches

[milkdose]

color is tough, but it doesn't have to be too complicated haha; remember bouguereau was a technical master of this thing; most pro artists i've seen don't come close to his color/value variation. just focus on values more, try to get the photographic look the best you can.

here are my tips:
Remember to saturate your transitions,
and look for sweet spots that add beauty to your painting, and leave them, basically if it ain't broke don't fix it, unless it falls behind the rest of your drawing
If your not satisfied with your work, spend more time on it!

KEEP GOIN M8 your enthusiasm makes me enthusiastic!

Perhaps I am over complicating things ahaha It's just something I've never even tried to understand so it's over whelming at the moment. I always used to just look at the colour of something and copy it but never really took the time to understand it and apply later.

Today I actually spent more time on the self portraits just to slow down and try to figure things out. From now on I'm going to do longer studies to try and better myself from the last one if you know what I mean. Because I'm definitely not satisfied with it D: Tomorrow I'm going to do a study in grey scale first and then add colour to experiment with values.

Thanks for all the help and kind words fed I really appreciate it!
