Happy New Years everyone! One of my goals for 2013 is to seriously get back into DAILY speed paintings

#252

I was pretty disapointed in yesterdays painting. The overcast weather just did not look right to me, so today I tried again. 

Things I learned: 

    - Overcast does =/= loss of contrast

    - Saturation goes down instead

    -Value range stays full (ofcourse) instead, range of temperature is limited to cools for the most part

I think today's was much more successful

I need to work on overcast settings :/

Edit!: After a suggestion from Goro to tweak a few saturation/hue adjustments this is what I came up with. I'd never really used these adjustments and I'm blown away at what they can do! Obviously I should not rely on these kinds of filters, but it gives me a good starting point to lay down more paint. Thank you Goro!

I'm behind on these! Here's another one for today, technically tomorrow but I haven't slept yet.

It's quite a bit different then my usual. But fun! Inspired heavily by Andrew Mar's amazing character design.

I think the values are working but the colors look muddy. The colors and textures are not consistent with the materials, its something I've always had problems with and want to improve on over this break. Ive spent too long on this piece though, Ive learned from it and need to move on.

Really did not feel like painting today for some reason... still managed this small stillife

I've been playing Diablo a bunch since break started so my friend Kristin suggest I try painting something that would fit in the Diablo universe. This is what I came up with! I don't think I quite hit the mark but it was fun and I think its a successful painting, diablo aside.

This is the first time I've ever worked in black and white and added color after and I feel like I was able to manage my values much better this way, also it was quite fast compared to other speedys. I think I'm going to keep experimenting with this technique.
