I not entirely happy with some elements of my work (which is good) for me its a little too flat, this is understandable as i mainly work from line drawings often detailing to the extent where its hard to to paint over them. The drawings are ok with some nice detail but cant be too precious with the lines to define form, for this i need to concentrate on the value with in the piece and can suggest detail with lighting and textures. To escape the flat look going to focus on perspective and creating space using values, going back to basics basically, fundamentals which got forgotten in the mad rush to draw monsters. Also instead of drawing and scanning, i will draw from photoshop something which i would struggle with but should be fine if i stick to silouettes and rough painting. One more thing, I feel like my portfolio needs a injection of these basic fundamentals so i hope to do some paintings pretty quick, Il commit to 5 pieces for next week and if iv time maybe more, all good practice. Watch this Space...
First perspective Drawing, Tank bay Concept.
Second Perspective Drawing: Griffon Gunship
Ok, so these first two pics were created from perspective lines i created all in photoshop and no hand drawn lines, all on wacom which is good so I dont depend on the line drawing. The flatness is gone but still needs practice, by painting in black and white i establish the value before focusing on colour and textures. However even though I havent got alot of time to paint at the moment (thanks work) I still feel these pieces took too long, for now the focus will still be on perspective but speed is always good industry practice... more on the way.
