@Lee-White ( I understand if you’re too busy to reply to this, I just noticed when I went to start a new topic that there was already this topic on this class so I figured I’d post here)
I LOVED listening to this class and of course thought “oh man, I’m prepared now!” But it was still a struggle when I sat down to do the class work 😂...I really am not good at concept! BUT I do feel like I have a new perspective and new methods to try and I just need more pencil time.
This is my first try at creating an illustration for the “They knew this storm was coming. The little boat was tossed like a rag doll” sentence prompt.
I will post the other thumbnails later if I can find them, but sadly, they’re not much different. I need to work on doing more thumbnails because I find that once I have an initial idea I tend to stick pretty close to that, it’s hard for me to shake it and think up another one.
I really didn’t like the first finished image (the smaller one on the left) because all the colors were muddy and just ran together...The second finished one I don’t love either - I like the girls face/shoulders, and the colors in the sky...I don’t like her pose (Shouldn’t have followed the reference photo so closely...), why did I put a duck in the boat?? And why is it also yellow??😂 Omg. What a mess..Everything is running together again and the boat isn’t reading at all (why did I make that blue too??). I find it difficult to separate things using color, I need to take a class on that if there is one as well.
At least this made me create an entire image (even if I don’t like it) because I don’t get that kind of practice enough. I will probably do this over again several times and try doing more thumbnails...
