    Another schoolism assignment, making the values a few steps higher. This one ended up being really hard because of the way the shadows fell on the reference

    And some fooling around in Sai, which has a much better brush engine for drawing than PS

    wow, I can see your value studies are definitely improving! I actually really like this one, it seems like you did a good job of executing on what it is meant to show you!

    For the cel shading one, I think I might suggest using a slightly warmer corresponding color as it would give a richer rendering, unless there's a specific lighting reason to keep the shadows in the cool range? using black and grey tones has a tendency to mute the colors underneath them in a way that takes some life away from the image.

    (I am doing a deep dive on learning how to paint digitally and cel shading is one of the things that I've been focusing on. I'm still not very good at it myself so I don't want to attempt to do a paintover or show you any of my garbage practice pieces, but lemme see if I can find the tutorial I used that definitely brought me up to speed miles faster than anything else I've found.)

    Thanks for taking a look!
    yeah shading and color is definitely something I need to deep dive on. I kind of just habitually shade with blue on multiply for shadows because thats how I shaded when I did watercolor paintings

    yup, watercolor is an entirely different game for sure!

    put a couple more hours in, I'm not even really sure if I'm meeting the assignment for this one (proportionately softening the edges), its kind of super difficult for me. gonna put it down for now because I feel like I'm just going in circles

    Started slipping behind on my schoolism to stay weekly, but here's my last color study one.

  • BlindPsychicBlindPsychic Registered User regular
    Just a little update on these. I'm basically done with the class. Mostly mentally I'm just really sick of it and I really have other things I want to do right now but not enough time in my life to really grind out the time with these still lives as important as I know they are. I just really need a break from them and come back later. n4qoxwgtjc21.png
    This is the last thing I'm doing for the realism class. A painting with a zorn palette of the same still life. I was going to do one of the Nathan Fowkes classes first, but I kind of want to do the Terryl Whitlatch class on creature anatomy instead and take a break from painting for a while.

    some practice

  • BlindPsychicBlindPsychic Registered User regular
    I started Nathan Fowkes Composition class on Schoolism. HW will be up later this week. But oh my god that was one of the worst first weeks ever. 1.5 hr, 10 minutes was spent on theory, the rest was him talking about how he got his job and how much he was selling his paintings for

  • IrukaIruka Registered User, Moderator mod
    I've been trying to work my way through those Fowkes courses and I hate to tell you, He sorta does that through the whole course. You can tell the dude loves the industry which can be somewhat endearing, but it really reduces the amount of useful information in the teaching segments. I recommend just watching the critiques if the courses begin to be a bit too much. He STILL manages to stick something about dreamworks in most of his critiques, but they are generally more focused and useful.

    One of five for this week's hw. The busier one was first, but I think might still be in the right direction more. The idea is to do value comps using unity with variety, trying to make the comp stronger by repeating shapes in a smart way
