this is very good! i honestly think that i or anyone else i know could achieve what you did in this painting, keep up the good work and keep on moving twords your goals. 5/5
Thanks for the comment & the rating. After watching so many videos on youtube I came up with my own way of doing paintings from reference that goes a lot faster & easier. You just add the photo as a base layer, pretty much trace the base colors & then open another instance of the photo to the side to get the actual colors used in the mid tones, & highlites. Sure it's tracing, for about 5-10% of it, but I've seen pencil artists trace the general outline of photos too so meh. Thanx 4 viewing.
She said it was too good & I agreed. I wanted to leave about 15% of the edges or so unfinished so that people could tell it was a legit painting & not just a quick bit of shop work. I got too OCD on the dress & purse though. The chair ended up messy but the purse, & the dress & other stuff came out too perfect. I went back & undid a lot of the stuff & now there are two version of the painting, the perfect one & the artsy one. check my DA gallery for both versions. Link is in description.
Yes I traced 5% of my painting. OMFG NOOOOOO!!!!! Pardon me for wanting proper proportions. Take notice of the whacked out flickering thru out the video. That's me switching back & forth between the painting & the photo. I'm not tracing, I'm simply looking, then painting. I also have the photo off to the side as well to to lesson moving between the working layer & the reference layer. But hey you're an expert so whatever... oh wait... riiiiight. You don't have any of your own videos.
Also since you're so convinced that I'm tracing the whole time & are not amused, check out the revised video description. There are some links in there just for you! Enjoy.
