So after a lot of noodling and the result, that you can see below, I decided to do some studies.  The first is a portrait - sketch, following Chris Legaspi's youtube video, the second and third are something I haven't tried before. Instead of doing a seperate painting of a photo, I simply enlarged the composition and added elements to fill the empty spaces again. I did it to a level, where I was happy with the result, at the moment. I then used what I learned and applied it back into the painting. So this is where I am at currently. I will work on it more and do some studies for the clothing and anatomy, that I am not understanding. My take-away is this: doing themed studies to solve certain problems is way more helpful, than just copying some random image, because there is a schedule suggesting it, or someone else said you should do it. I hope this helps you to solve your visual problems. :)

After doing some client work, I wanted to get back to my study-habit. I worked on this for a couple of hours, felt like it takes way too long. And it didn't happen 'til the end, that I found out it makes sense to paint from dark to light, when adding those patches of forest on the mountain. I like how the waves turned out and doing the drawing was quite fun as well. I still need to find a good way, to portray the closer trees. Maybe using a foliage brush might help, but I am not to fond of those. They look very stiff and mechanic to me.    Today's study is to practice color and brushwork. It was a lot of fun, to carve out those shapes :)   |
This is my blog. I will share information about workflow, my insights into image-making or just general thoughts and rants about being an artist. Archives
