StardustLarva's Visual Explorations

[StardustLarva]

Foxfire-Thank you for reminding me about Vandruff, I actually purchased the video collection of his perspective lectures about a year ago, but I've barely touched them. Better get to that!

Koala-Thank you! I love stippling, I sort of inherited the technique from looking a lot of old school scientific illustrations. It's great fun, you should try it sometime if you haven't already (though it can make your wrist ache...). I intend to work more on gestures once I've absorbed the perspective stuff a bit more.

Just a little bit with me today, I finished a large painting (which I did as a break from perspective) and also started over with Norling's book, as I feel that I overlooked a lot. I'm going over it more carefully now, so hopefully I'll get a better understanding this time.



The aforementioned painting, another experiment with media in which I used a palette knife and mixed some of the paint with calcium dust. I actually kind of like this one (which probably means something is horribly wrong with it).



Samples from the exercises of the first three chapters of Norling's book.
