@Braden-Hallett This is looking awesome! I did a quick and hopefully not too annoying cut and paste of my thinking - i do still feel like the parents are possibly too far in the background and may be a different scale than the children? Was thinking a window over the sink might really free you up and allow you to do more things with the lighting in the room - but maybe would change the mood too much? - just a thought though
-
@Aleksey Thanks! I'm hoping to reinforce that as i paint
-
@Kevin-Longueil Oh wow! I really like the window idea. That would really let me cast a different light on the parents. If I go back and repaint (I think I almost always do
) I'll totally do that.As for the scale, I think if I put a shadow under the table and put the mum's feet where they should be it'll reinforce where they are in space. We'll see
Thanks for the paint over :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

@Braden-Hallett: -Really lovely concept, and very challenging composition to pull off. So well done. @Kevin-Longueil Love the window idea. It really adds so much to the mood.
-
@xin-li Thanks! I may, instead of doing a LOT of surgery to add the window, play with some kind of hanging kitchen light. Benefit of the light without having to renovate the kitchen :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

This is looking great! I've learned a lot by seeing your process to get to this point!
-
@cbrocke I agree, really helpful as a newbie!
-
This thread is great, wonderful to see the work in progress and people helping to bring the illustration along.
-
Push and pull. Saturate and desaturate. Cool down and warm up.
Next step is flatten linework and paint allllll on one layer.
-
@Braden-Hallett really terrific concept and line work
-
@mzmolly Thanks
-
Callin' it dooooone. I gotta move on to other stuff.
-
It looks so good and love seeing the whole process!
-
Great work and thanks for talking so much about your process along the way. It's really interesting to see how different people reach their final illustration.
-
Thanks

@CukiArtist It blows my mind how different people's approaches can be
-
@Braden-Hallett it looks great! But that kids red shirt is pulling my attention away from the blue parents

@Aleksey Is true! i was trying to keep colours on the kid's side all warm and was running out of discernable hues :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: Red's super hard to work with!
Maybe I'll go back in someday and fiddle with the colours a little
-
@Braden-Hallett maybe that kid just likes to be the center of attention
