The Velvet Revolvers

[artistebot]

Hey Artistebot, just had a quick thought. Is there a reason you are sticking to film stills? One of the problem with film is that it is heavily graded and manipulated. It makes for very cinematic and striking images, but sometimes isn't that good if you want to learn basics of light and colour.  I'm gonna challenge you to study from life every once in a while. Of course I don't know what your aims are, but I think some diversification in study will help. You don't seem to be pushing the envelope much with these studies.

Hey Amit, I had a original goal of 100 cinema images, but as I go on, I think my focus has shifted.  I stick to it since I have a directory full of images so I can quickly do an image without much preparation.

I accept your challenge.  :-)

Your suggestion is a great one and I think I will focus more on that, so that I can continue to learn. I have a few objects that I can study from, and thanks to your suggestion, I will post one in a few hours from now.

My goal is to learn 2D painting illustration as well as a bit of story telling and composition. Longer term is to incorporate my 3D skill to help paint from time to time, but only after I can get decent results without it.

Agan a big thank you, I really can use any feedback and challenges to keep going.

Here is yet another cinema study, more a reflection of my week so far...
