Tone and Color Practice
-
just looking now, the drawer shadow seems a bit out of place dark, but I'll leave it for now.
-
Really nice! I love the light coming in through the window and the the other light reflecting off the furniture.
-
Wow! I like it! I can see how you took the feedback and it makes a difference.

Some mushrooms (More work on these to come later):

Pretty much better to me. Now you can feel the shapes by the lighting (tones). I see a couple of details:
- Part of the clothes in the closet must be darker. They are receiving the shadow of the door and part of the closet "box".
- The door and the chest of drawers are a bit crooked.
- There is a problem with one of the legs of the chest of drawers.
Anyway, its a great improvement, I think you only need to tune a bit the intensity of the lights and shadows. The best way to me is by analizing some master pieces and, of course, practicing a lot. Just training your eyes.

Thank you Sergio.

Nice job, these are great practice! I found it was so much easier to learn this stuff by using someone else's drawings so you can focus on the light and shadow and not what you want your drawing to look like.

Thank you Brittany. I agree, it's an efficient way to focus on tone and color and you can let go of adjusting the drawing a bit more.
Sometimes it can a challenge to work out someone else's use of form and perspective though (but that's good training)

Pretty surreal thing to color:

Your palettes are very interesting. How are you creating them?
