Fedodika the Koala

[Fedodika]

Aight, so went out today so didn't get much done. I'm definitely gonna rework this comp, because while I like the rough I did earlier, I lost a lot of the camera angle in the sketch. That and when I went to paint it, I felt really bored, and like there was too much negative space that was just very dark values. Also, the painting felt nowhere near as cerebral and symbolic as I wanted, it was very literal of what's going on. After studying a lot of incredible painters, I realized you can do a lot with just subtle shapes and poses to convey a narrative. 

Things can interact on a much deeper level than just seeing eachother, they can wrap over one another, bite into, caress, overlap, fight, etc. And this can be very symbolic and strategic. So I'm gonna try to dream up a better comp, one more cerebral, I have a vague Idea, just gotta work on visualizing.

That and I've been spending a lot more time on these analytical studies and noticing I could spend a lot more time on them. There's so many tricks people consciously use, so many hidden patterns in things you just can't pick up on a brief few glances. I wanna study everything, but I gotta plan better, that's for sure.
