Just to make it clear how screwed up my cellphone pictures are, that background... it's actually red. And not purpley red. red red.

Concentration!
Okay so my sister stole my camera and left it at a friend's house, and keeps forgetting to get it home -_- so all I have is a crappy photo from my phone, but I'll post a better photo tomorrow if all goes as planned! Maybe I'll even work on them some more by then, cuz boy do they need work. (Not too proud of these)

On the Left one, I think that the composition is strong, but there is a lack of shading and contrast. The right part of the beard and the very bottom of the mountain have some shading that I like, but the rest is more outline-ish. Try to bring that shading to the rest of the piece.
ReplyDeleteI really like the right piece. Its has a pretty uniform color scheme, which sometimes hurts pieces, but you made it work. I did not particularly like the downward arrows on the left side. I'm not sure if they are significant in meaning, but they add little to the composition of the piece (detract from the face). The nose really catches my eye for some reason...
good job
i really like both of these pieces alot. I agree with andrew on the left one. it might just be the picture but the pen line doesnt seem to be too dark, maybe go over it with a darker pen or add some more lines and shadding to make certain parts stand out so it looks more finished.
ReplyDeleteThe right one is cool. I like how it goes off the page and the crooked teeth alot.You could maybe add some more reds in the background in funky patterns to make it more intersting, or add like some yellows for contrast cause that would look good! they are both greattttttt!
I really like how both of these are really different than your other pieces, and I love the colors that you used in the one on the right.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the one on the left could use some more shading. I think it would look better if you made the ground and mountain a bit darker, and maybe add some shadows coming from the people.
The one on the right looks a lot better, and doesn't have any outllineishness to it, and the style is awesome. however,i think that you might want to add more color to the right side of the face since now it kinda fade out a bit, also i think the arrows are a bit distracting.
overall I like both of these and I think they look really great!! I can guess who the one on the left represents, but i'm not so sure on the one on the right...so maybe add something or idk...

ReplyDeleteHey! It's me (Cyclops) from the 7th grade mythology convention! Heheh. On the left piece, I especially like how you did the top part of the woman. However, I do agree that you might want to do more shading about the Cyclops and perhaps adjust the proportion of the woman's legs and the Cyclops' hand. I know that it's to make the legs go back in space and the hand come forward, but with the general positioning of the characters I feel that the hand stays close to the Cyclops' body. I absolutely love the piece on the right. How the face is surrounded with--to me it is steam--and the crooked white teeth. This guy sends out powerful, destructive vibes, like he's emerging from an explosion of sorts. In a later blog update, could you maybe post who he is/the story behind him?
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much the same post that it says I deleted, with a corrected typo.
Colleen! I like how the one on the right feels really raw. I enjoy the colors you used a lot too... I can tell they are strong even through your phone pictures ;). I feel like the face is really strong but the background kind of makes it get lost a little bit though. Maybe try adding a little definition to the background?
ReplyDeleteI like the left one a lot too! I agree with what everyone else is saying though, I think it either needs shading or a splash of color. The drawing is really awesome but it feels like it's missing something or a little bit too pale for lack of a better word. Good job!! :)
