Only a little test in PaintStorm because clearly my hunger for snow wasn’t satisfied this year yet… I’m recording a timelapse for fun as well.
I’ll have to push the clarity of shapes and the separation of values a little more. Lots of routes to go from here.
I like this one for the “classical” backdrop color and simplicity of the composition.
I guess the color of the vase should have been pushed more towards blue, and despite the reference I could have improved the value seperation betwenn fg and bg as well as the shadow side of the vase…
I’m still into color studies. Loved the vibrancy of this little guy.
Its refreshing to paint so losely, and I find myself picking up colors on the palette I’ve probably never used before. The background colors proved to be especially challenging.
As usual you can find the reference on my tumblr channel…
For me the following video is already the video of this young year. It contains nothing less than the truth about our current crisis. I will supply the English version as soon as I find it translated. Please take the time to listen to the words of the famous, mindful and brave Dr. Drewermann:
“Awww c’mon, let’s just do a quick one before we head to bed…”
(40 minutes later)
“Memo to me:
– The background has got to be a lot brighter to make the pedals pop more. Gotta implement more of the many interesting patterns which are all over the place…
– Avoid complex flower arrangements as reference when doing a “quick (color) study“
As usual you can find the reference on my tumblr channel…
Another color study for fun. I seem to struggle with simple colored shapes, … I tend to create “soft” shapes with gradients.
Sometimes you don’t intend ANYTHING at all clicking around in a new document for a few seconds and then all of a sudden your soon to be wife screams from excitement …
“DON’T TOUCH THAT! – Don’t you see it?!? Its a Hollywood-Kiss!” So she added the eyes and some rosy cheeks, and voilá!
…and make sure you get the complete experience with this iconic sound design straight from the genius behind this piece!
Well, I was about to blog that this was not a productive day at all, but I guess it was.
I’ve been watching part of Peter Chans training on Seeing colours, so I thought I could give it a try. Doing this exercise was incredibly entertaining and relaxing. It helps me focus on simple shapes and of course colour.
Unfortunately I don’t know the original phtographer because it wasn’t tagged but you should be able to find it over on my tumblr channel…
