Final image for portfolio

demotlj · 7 Feb 2020, 19:54

I’ve been doing little ink and watercolor sketches and tried a pencil and watercolor sketch to compare the styles. Still not sure which I like better (the first one is ink and the second is pencil) and I’m not sure I’m even using the best pencil for this style. For those who do their final line work in traditional pencil, what pencil do you use? This was a 4B.

I'm changing my process to move sketching later instead of earlier.

@Braden-Hallett what do you mean? Less linework and more blocking in silhouettes first? This is a pretty cool image btw. Chunky with form!

braden H · 7 Feb 2020, 21:43

@Coley I mean both blocking in silhouettes, value AND colour before starting to sketch

Coley · 7 Feb 2020, 22:11

@Braden-Hallett whoa

I redid the color of the light etc on my doggie that I did for painting color an light class. More bluish so maybe perhaps more nighttimish looking. I unfortunately saved at low image tho so it\s a bit pixely. poo on that

@Braden-Hallett the background in this is great, those looming chairs have so much personality!

Finding examples of soft light to paint is challenging for some reason.
