Painting colour and light group runthrough week 9!

Most multiple light sources I can find are at night and mostly street lights.

Even in photography people seem to try and find single light sources

@Braden-Hallett @burvantill Look! A silhouette! I am so sad that I had to miss this class with you guys. It looks like you have grown a great deal as artists. Inktober Day 10 Pattern.jpg

Looking at your work I can see with this piece that lil' Reb would probably be darker based on teh light source and Inky would be as well.

Second attempt. silhouette and multiple light sources.

@chrisaakins Hey! A silhouette! And you didn't miss the class, it's still there. Waiting. Watching. Judgiiiiiiiiiing.

Seriously, though, that's an awesome mouse silhouette in ink!

I found a reference for a deer on pinterest and stuck fairly close to it with exception of not painting the crow on the deer's back . silhouette. maybe a bit of scattered light influence as well

Also I screenshotted this from Facebook. Funny play on silhouettes

I seem to have trouble balancing things in dark situations but here's my attempt at practicing multiple light sources. I seem to have things too dark but when I lighten it, it looks washed out or not like it's nightime. It's good to practice these things and start figuring it out anyhow here is a combo of Moonlight and a lantern on a very full wolf. Hopefully little Red made it home!!!!!

@Coley LOL. too cute.

Coley

@burvantill thanks. I just realized he has dog ears and not wolf ears lol. I mistakenly represented him as a wolf. My bad ha ha

I like! I really like the super soft brush work.

Cool! Multiple light sources is REALLY hard. Most of the time I see them in photo's they don't actually influence much. They're just spots of bright in mostly darkness.

braden H

All right, ladies and gents! I think that's pretty much it!

Thanks to everyone for joining in when they could. I didn't realize that this course was QUITE so big when we started, lol.

I think I'll keep doing a mini study a day for the foreseeable future to really cement the different kinds of lighting situations we learned about.

And then at some point I'll do another class

Hope everyone had a good time!

This was a great class and great company. Thankyou @Braden-Hallett for organizing it. You always do such a great job
I did one more silhouette with multiple light sources because I failed with the gate image.

As a personal final assignment I’m going to color Will Terry’s cabin kitchen drawing from the downloads. Anyone want to do a final with me?

I look forward to seeing it! I think I'm just gonna keep up the momentum with the little studies. They seem to be helping

Coley

I'm going to attempt to do another study or two of each one so it sinks in more

thanks @Braden-Hallett for leading us through it the last 9 weeks! It sure pushed me to get the studies done

braden H

@Coley You're welcome! I think the light studies will keep taking up a lot of my time, too
