This didn't turn out like I'd hoped. I also didn't have lighting that didn't take all the green out of the background for the photo.

eggyolk posted:What material is this? Seems like you're losing a lot of information from the source, particularly the depth of the scene and the form of the figures. Could just be your photo though. It's acrylic paint. Looking back at where the old lady in the foreground cuts off the view of the man it definitely looks like there's not enough visual contrast to make the man's body distinct from the shoulder and arm of the old woman in the photo. In the painting as the paint has settled now, the figure in the right foreground is more distinct from the man. The man in the center still looks that way, I had meant for him to be ghostly like the other figures, but the lack of 'outline' for his shoulders does throw some ambiguity in there that doesn't need to be there. Do you have any quick suggestions or have I covered the basics? I'll hopefully get around to working on this a bit more this weekend.

I was going to finish up that last painting, but I did this instead: It's really hard for me to get back to a painting. It's a bad habit that I'm not doing much to control right now. That's something I'm trying to work on. Stroszek fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Mar 13, 2014 |

The elbow on the man seems to be below his waistline; his arms seem disproportionately long for his body. The perspective on the man's pants suggests that you used a reference photo with the camera facing up at the couple from a lower angle. I think you may have overcompensated vertically on the figure for it. The light is somewhat confusing, but why don't you, based on what you've done so far, think about what direction your main source of lighting should come from so that you'd only have to make minimal adjustments. Maybe if the background were a lighter color, it wouldn't box in the very light colors you used for the figures - maybe try looking at that with photoshop adjustment layers first if you can. lumpanoodle posted:Various abstract geometric pieces I've made this year on sketch paper In the 90s, this would have blown away the Lisa Frank/Trapper Keeper/binder design competition.
