Within this weeks workshop, we started to be introduced to colour, and methodologies behind using it effectively. Hue and saturation shifts being key, how there are colours that make up objects that you might not necessarily think is there, how different lights have different effects on the colour of objects.
Doing a line sketch, value, local colour block in and eventually a colour render...
I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted to on this task...but all good practice, I decided to do a colour study to practice these techniques further....
This I feel was far morse successful, yet realise the coat could and should have a greater variety of tones, hues and values and that certain areas are too dark, a paint over from my tutor underlined this...
The background has been improved and I like his use of brushmarks that makes the peice feel more alive, definetly something to consider in the future, shall practice further with colour!
This weeks workshop was on lighting and composition, we began with adding light to a simple sphere using airbrush settings, this is something to practice for sure.
We were also tasked to rough out some composition sketches...
Perspective is definitely something I need to practice, the second was painted over, to where it could be pushed to be furthered.
So I recently started attending a Concept Art workshop, to further my skills. This first week was on Value, using a template and greyscale colour palette. Following along with our tutor, we copied his of-the-season value piece of a street. Focusing on composition, the pumpkin being the focal point and key values.
Our homework was to then pick a movie screen cap, a Master's work and to do our own peice.
I'm not sure what film its from, but I really liked the composition here.
I was really disheartened by my lack of accuracy, but this is about mapping values and gaining an understanding here. The tutor, critiquing and painting over...
...Adjusted some of the values largely on the railing and the figure, and I can clearly see the difference.
My master study was a cropped segment of a peice I adored from the Facebook group LevelUp.
I was relatively happy with how this came out, however after critique...
I can see I didn't match many of the values as well as I could've done, I'd also picked a very tough piece to copy well with many fine values and details that are hard to replicate with limited values.
My own piece I must woefully admit to having not spent as much time as I would have liked on. I'll have to practice with value a lot more and organise my time a lot better.
