YEAHYEAHYEAHH

holay molay 2 big canvases in 1 month. the photo scan sadly does not do it justice, it is far more vibrant but wayy less contrasted in real life. it was so under contrasted actually that from a distance you could only see the dog’s eyes 😭 if you can even tell it’s a dog (prof thought it was a deer LOL)

i struggled so much on this because i could find 0 references of a dog’s face looking directly into a light source with such high contrast. i could only find dogs with backlighting or soft front lighting i was in the trenchessss

also thumbnailed this one! it was originally going to be far more vibrant but then i realized i was only working with primaries (aka my entire color wheel was made JUST by mixing red yellow and blue which will always be less vibrant than just getting paints of a certain color) so i ended up lowering the saturation

first painting with an actual meaning.. these we actually worked on simultaneously. first is a non representational canvas, second are basically the same drawing with different color palettes.

“insomnia” is supposed to represent the feeling of having your eyes closed but your brain still awake. specifically i was thinking about whenever i’d become “aware” that my eyes would close and then look into my eyelids to see what patterns would form

i thumbnailed “oops” on ibis paint as i didn’t want to mix colors or end up hating them. i also copied a sketch onto the paper with graphite (i wish i took a photo of it lol)

i also thumbnailed insomnia but ended up not using it

doing some still life but now we’ve introduced colors. monochromatic so that we could still ease into the color value thing. we had the option of also adding yellow but i was like mmmm i’m okay .

left is the og reference photo which i basically just turned blue and upped the contrast on

i struggled HARD with keeping the contrast and also the shape of the vase. i was so hard on it during critique that the person who was meant to critique it pointed at me and said “you drew a VASE. you did a GOOD JOB. BE PROUD.”

hiii waves. have a couple paintings i made for a class that i will post over the next few days (weeks?) 🫶 here’s the reference photo i used as this was an introduction to color values

og version

side note i’ve not wanted to post this cause i keep looking at it and the anatomy looks So Off so here’s a secret hastily fixed version lmaoooo
