In addition to the assignment described in the video, here is a bonus assignment;
Bonus assignment - Using the images provided from Reference Pictures (this one is a free pack, used in this course with permission), do painting studies of each image. Pay close attention to where the core shadows are, and how the fade or fall off toward the shadow sides. This might be a rigorous study, but I promise you’ll learn so much by doing this exercise. It’s not meant to create art masterpieces, only to expose you to all the nooks and crannies of things you need to know.
Started this course back in June, and then had to stop just as I nearly finished assignments one & two! Will hopefully be more in the swing of things now! :)
Doing some revisions after watching the critique videos for week 1. I touched up some issues on the main assignment:
* The forms felt a bit flat due to low contrast even after following the half way to black rule, so I deepened the core shadows
* Some coloured sections didn't wrap around the forms correctly
* Some of the forms and core shadows were a little sloppy
* I was too timid with the painterly style and pushed further this time
Hi! This is my first ever formal art class so I was very nervous jumping in. My shapes don't feel illusory enough to be 3D, but I'm gonna keep practicing! (I'm also using Procreate, so things may be a bit different but you use whatcha got ^^)
Here my spheres.
I had some problems with the dark shapes. Not sure how to get clean edges but also adhere to the form of the sphere (see spheres 2, 4 and 5)
Well, this took me longer than I thought (a whole month) but I learned so much. I took inspiration from everyone’s posted work, so this is my contribution. Thank you so much!
Art is the conveyance of fundamental human truth, regardless of barriers attempting to conceal it.
