After the Emerald City Comicon we got home pretty late, but I still managed to do a painting anyway. I feel great about that, but I’m tired so this post is brief.
Home late after the Emerald City Comicon, so I will make this brief.
I reverted to easier subject matter, and I included value again, but not color. I’m also working a bit on edges. Still focusing mainly on drawing though. This entire painting felt good, I knew that I had made some drawing mistakes but became too lazy to change. I like that I knew how the drawing comparison would turn out before I even did the Photoshop comparison tonight though.
I knew, before I even finished the painting that the apple was too high, I just didn’t want to change it.
I worked hard on the banana stem, so I”m glad that turned out accurate. The curve of the banana seemed much harder to get accurate than I thought. The subtle curve was so long that it was super difficult to measure correctly.
It has been a bit since I did some focus on value. This one turned out pretty far off the mark. What I have noticed during my paintings is that I push the lighter colors too far most of the time. Things would work better if I painted everything just a bit darker than what I actually thought. That would allow me to have the very top most range of values open for highlights or punches.
I still need to get an edge comparison layout going in Photoshop, anyway, I felt pretty good with the edges although I have not analyzed my accuracy at all.
