I need to work on color and light so I gave my self an asignment:
wooden stick, red brick, chrome disk, sunlight, outdoor.
I tried to think this out as logically as possible starting with the main masses and adding shadow, key, bounce, reflectivity, etc 1 at a time.
Here's my result. No reference.
The pyramid looks a little funky to me. That's cool that youre practicing this though.
ReplyDeleteFunky pyramid haha... found that funny, dunno why
ReplyDeleteJon, you're my hero. :) Also, I like the butcher illustration. I have a question. How do get those really saturated oranges/red-ranges? I'm working on an illustration right now, and I can't get the feeling of sunlight on a part of it.
ReplyDeleteOne crit on the lighting: the shadow of the chrome disk and wooden stick don't match. I hope it's not just me. XD
Keep up the awesomeness! :D
wow, this is such an awesome assignment! but I guess you can give yourself these challenges after practicing a certain number of paintings, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikhita, I do these whenever I feel like ive gained a bit more knowledge since the last one. However I "should" try to approach every painting I do in this way.
