Working with lots of colour lately. Here's an album of some things I've done/am doing. https://imgur.com/a/jtszs

Decided to use an old phone book instead of buying new sketchbooks. The paper is terrible for pencils but takes pen and charcoal well.

Neon Noodle posted:A couple things: as you probably know, newsprint isn’t archival so your pages are going to turn yellow, scan anything you care about now if you want to preserve it. I didn't know any of that, and have never used gesso! Thanks for the advice.

Have been working on this slowly. Not really sure where to place the figure, like do I want a scene or just a background of colour? I'm having trouble deciding. The reference I've used is against a plain white background.

Kanine posted:my favorites are the ones that look like dicks I found that once I started seeing dicks in one bit of work I would see dicks in all types of work! Just got a case of dick brain I guess. InevitableCheese posted:Been playing around with organic forms, does anyone have tips for cross-contour lines? I feel like I don’t know where to run them half the time. I'm not sure if this answers your question, but when I look at these I feel like they all look like 'slices' of something, the little bits of straight line shading you added don't follow the form, so the sides look flat instead of rounded.

The Dark Project posted:My first attempt at a wood print on paper. Carved into thin MDF and then ink is rolled over the top of the carved MDF sheet, placed over the top of a piece of paper, and put through a rolling press. The building in the foreground has writing on it, but it hasn't come out that well in the print. You can kind of see it, but not very well. I am most happy with the thousands of dots I had put in to give it texture. I hand hammered every single one in using a small tool usually used for working with clay and sculptures. Process took about two days to do as I am currently dealing with cancer and my hands and arms are constantly sore and tired. Is this Yagan Square? We probably live in the same state.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Hi my name is Jizz Denouement. More than a decade ago I was pretty decent at oil paints, latex-based wood paints, and ceramics. I've dived back into painting after this long gap with acrylics because my significant other had a decent foundation of tools. I can't think of any specific tutorials, but you could just look up 'acrylic painting beginners' or something like that. Just get the feel of it by doing some small projects.

Very interesting challenge, something to look into soon! The thank you screen at the end of a video feels like it would work well as a calendar, just a series of images next to their inverted colour counterpart.

When I look at it, it feels like the church blends in too much with the grass and the tombstones. In the thumbnail I see the shapes and colours of the rear tombstones blend together, as though they are part of the church wall. I think it's because most of the brush strokes are very smooth and go mostly in the same direction. IMO, give the tree some more texture and tonal variation to differentiate it from the rest of the scene - it is a strong foreground figure which really towers over everything else. The front most tombstone could also benefit from some more texture as well, I think. In case you haven't tried, looking at it in black and white can let you see where the tones are similar, and where things are looking flat as a result of tone.  When I look at the B&W image, I get the sense that the tree blends in too much with the roof. Maybe try some highlights which are distinct from the greeny-blues which you have used. IMO I would try with something like a yellow or red - just very thin highlights near the edges of the branches and trunk.

Argue posted:Did someone say watercolors??? I recently bought a simple pan set because I wanted to try doing travel sketching in color instead of B&W. Ahh these are so great, I love the lights over the water!

CobwebMustardseed posted:I am a super novice painter and I am having some issues with perspective that I can't seem to work through on my own. I started this painting of a sunset with a sort of villa and I wanted to have a road going horizontal across the landscape. I've tried putting it in a few different ways and it always ends up looking like I'm looking down on the road from above as opposed to straight on. I'd love any advice folks have on this particular issue I'm having or more generally a good resource for learning about perspective. Are you painting from a reference? Even if you are you might be able to add some small detail that enhances the perspective. Look at these, I assume this is what you mean by 'a road across the landscape' - Some roads do actually look like a flat block, especially if they are at the horizon line, but something like a small fence on one side or lane markers on the road make the perspective clearer. Anything you can think of like small stones or plants on or around the road help to give a reference for the eye.

haven't used soft pastel in a very long time. It was more chalky than I remember.

databasic posted:This is lovely! What kinds of pastels did you use? How long did it take? Did you use regular paper or pastel paper? Thanks! I used these on 110gsm cartridge paper, which is apparently suitable for pastels https://theartshop.com.au/products/mungyo-soft-pastel-set-32-half-sticks Figuring out the proportions of the pose took a lot longer than colouring everything. Hard to say.
