[Meh Study]

One particular detail that you captured was the foggy texture of the clouds to the left as the clouds collide or drift away from the mountain.

Overall, I think I understand why this is a meh study, with the broad, even strokes and general color placement. Still, the colors and landscape feel cohesive and it's still enjoyable to view.

If you wanted to work more on this piece, what would be your first focus?

kittenbombs1 responds:

Thanks.

Probably edges and detail. I think I got the structure, color, and values down. Just needs to be cleaned up a bit.

[Jeeper Creeper!]

With the darkness of the stronghold and the spooky vibes, it's like the creeper is dancing towards me with intimidation.

[Don’t feature this]

I can imagine hiking in this forest. I like the cool shadows, especially to the right as it extends on.

Did you take the reference picture?

kittenbombs1 responds:

Thanks.
No, it was from Noah Bradley

[Metal Proto]

I like the overall colors and pose of the character, contrasting the primary blue with highlights of yellow.

You could darken the shadows on the figure. I can imagine the character is on a stage with a spotlight on them, and that would create some sharp and dark shadows. You could also bring out more the qualities of the metal body and how reflective the metal is. There are some highlights on the torso, but overall the metal feels matte/flat.

Overall, solid work :)

OrangeFluff responds:

Oh, I see now...
Well, I'll make sure to get the lighting and highlights right the next time, thanks for your review!

[Patterns]

Imagine someone wearing a sweater with this pattern. It's mesmerizing to see the patterns moving down at different speeds, not knowing where they come from or where they're going.

nice idea)

[Pixtogether Collab']

So many small things to explore, and the overall look is energetic. Trying to spot all the moving things is fun.

[Jake The Dog]

Simple design, but dynamic, clean, and well drawn. Looks great :)

ExtinctionArts responds:

Thank you :)

[Sunflower in Gouache]

I think you did great work, just using gouache for the 1st time. The flower is vibrant and I like the colors of the yellow with the blue. It's rough on the edges, but that itself I kinda like as well :). Don't know if I'm just biased for painted things though, and I definitely don't know much about gouache.

[Glitch Space Cover Art]

It almost has a holographic look to it. Great work :)

[long trips]

What were you inspired by?

unibrawn responds:

A quick shot in the film Mikey and Nicky, these were background characters in a scene that I wanted to practice painting
