Did some self critiques and revisions after watching the week 7 critique. Main things where:
* I didn't really stylize the forms at all (I think I forgot :P), and the colour/lighting stylizing could've been pushed further
* When stylizing, exaggerating existing characteristics in a model is generally more effective than going against them
* The dynamic range was a little flat, needed more contrast
* Making sure the 3d forms are reading well is more important than trying to replicate what you see in the reference
Also unrelated, I figured out my painting software export settings wrong, the export was more desaturated and had less contrast then the preview :') but thats all fixed now
I think I misunderstood the assignment when starting out. I was trying to be too faithful to the original. By the last (and most purple) one, I started stylizing the lighting and colors
Very fun assignment. Instead of using just the Alla Prima Technique I decided to explore different ways of rendering and styles. I especially like what @9brookskim (on Instagram) does for their process and tried it myself in the last portrait.
