:O

Thanks vemp.

@yamamanama; Well I did for a while, and thanks.


Just an update on CG wip. PAINTER CRASHED ON ME WHEN I JUST FINISHED IT. -long string of curses- :boxing: :boxing: :boxing:

I haven't set the other hues/tones in yet since I'm not sure what I want the background to be. Suggestions?

Actually what I meant was the color of the buildings since their lighting would reflect off her skin.

Yeah, you should try brown/tan/reddish buildings with a few blacks.

Or you can do a brown wall with gun holes and cracks and stuff.

A grey/black bg won't suit her skin tone/reflection.

Really? I thought a picture should always have the warm tones with the contrasting cool tones.

Another piece, cubism for school.

----------------------------------------
I've just seen these around and I really wanted to do one. So here's me camwhoring. -fall- Should've picked a better setting though.

On that last image, I am not seeing a strong light source. What is the light in the environment that you have envisioned? What kind of light is suppose to be? Sun light? Moon light or something artificial? Thinking about those will help your shading a lot.

As for the new image, it seen like an interesting idea, have you try compositing your photos to make a compositions similar to the one that you are painting?

Heh, I have no idea actually. I "learned art" from reading comicbooks. :p

@magi; It's superficial lighting, picture refs taken from inside a classroom. The three in the background aren't suppose to have many details at all. But I put too much in them. The one in the front that's looking up, has the most detail.

And what do you mean by that last comment?

---------------------------------

@vemp; I feel horrible for saying this, but I've actually given up on that pic. [rant]After starting the whole piece over again, I'm sick of looking at it. I've tried out like five different color jobs and...[/rant] yeah. -dies-

Me too~ :D I just started classes in September, and what I've learned so far has little to nothing to do with what I do in my free time. :(

More spam (oekaki):

Yay for oekakis! XD

The second one looks really yummy~

Yusss! That's what I said.

What I mean was, since you are using your own photo as a reference, you could have make a photoshopped version of the cubism piece, to function as a rough draft for your final painting.

Oh. Well I did the composition in class, so I just dove right into it. I only used myself as the model because I didn't have someone else to pose. And it was a lot more convenient if I wanted a different shot later on or something.

So besides all that, I feel photoshopping a draft is so cheating. You're like skipping out on all the fun of spontaneity and the constant flow that just goes whenever you wanna create something.

Haven't had the time to sketch.

Face is distorted. Holding the guitar too low.

Haven't painted in a long time. Practice portrait, ref'd.

That is just beautiful. :D I think it would be nice if there are a bit more variation in tones in terms of the dark areas, but its looks really good.

I came by to check on your thread hoping you wouldn't put that one of me. I'm exposed. :<
You really captured the colors well, I still love it. You're improving so fast D:

@magi; thank you. I'll keep that in mind the next time I open it. Plan on touching it up this weekend~

@dai; myaha. You're exposed on at least three different forums. >D
Thank you :3

holy crap that's hot! I'm a sucker for high-contrast colors. :D
