hey guys,
here are all the crests next to each other with their silhouettes showing.
I hope we can hold the deadline with this project, gonna be tight!
Liking the concept work and digging the improvement! Keep truckin!
new week, new studies, started with some gestures and did a still-life over the weekend (2h)
gestures and water-colors
gestures and a value study that I am not happy with
edit: i added the ref for comparison
Hello, nice gestures. About last lady, you probably knew that proportions are little bit off :) but in my opinion beside that major problem is form and values (+soft, hard edges). let me explain that by image:
Left ball: Your flat painting
Right ball: Reference ball* :P
And quick paintover on bottom (2 minutes ?) thats why it looks little bit like silk, sry for that :P
I ve spend on it like 5-10 minutes (whole "tutorial" :D). Can be way more accurate. So major problem is that ur form is flat. You need to know basics and it is frustrating i know. But you need to think and knew that there is terminator, reflected light, core shadow etc. I am not great in art, but i want to help. Try reading James Gurney Light and color its great book
And remember where u use hard and where soft edge and how form reflect light ( metal is different than paper etc )! :)
hey seppo,
thanks for the post, I wrote you a pm about that broken image-link.
gestures and I worked more on the lady
Keep those gestures drawing coming (I'm tackling it right now too!)
Other than that, killer sketchbook, I love those plants studies, they have that kind of dynamic sketching I'm trying to achieve (Norm Schureman/Peter Han style).
Would love to see some still life with rendered metal ;)
AlCo thanks man, that still life has to wait atm, but I will do it :)
painting a texture for the game. really relaxing exercise
going back to square one, I really didn't get some of the basics.
Really love your concepts, and also you did what I wanted to but didn't do! Watercolor paintings for Christmas gifts! Hats off to you.
@Meat: thanks man, the people liked the paintings. I checked your sb, it is really nice. you seem to have taken a lot from that workshop
I spend 2 weeks with my parents over the holidays. It was good to see them for such a long time.
When I visited Freiburg I went to the Augustiner Museum and saw, for the first time, paintings by Franz Xaver Winterhalter. From one of them I did a study, it took 3,5 h. There was a person, who gave us instructions and she helped me in the beginning stages of the drawing to lay out the grid and get the proportions right. Usually I don't spend enough time in those critical measurements and jump right to the values. So this time, forcing me to get it right in the beginning was challanging but I learned a lot.
Also a random value study from imagination.
Hey Flo, glad to see you here! :) Your stuff looks good as always. Uuuuuh, so many studies, now I need to work harder lol. I'll be watching you here now too. Keep up the good work man!
A-star: thanks man, glad you like it.
