Creative Composition final projects

[kirsten-mcg]

This is the point where I always feel like quitting. Trying to decide if I should start over, or do value adjustments after I finish.

[kirsten-mcg]

Sooooo, I started over. And I’m glad I did! Feeling better about this version.

[Chantal Goetheer]

@kirsten-mcg love to see your process and progress of the piece!! Did you have to re-draw all the line work again too? And love to see the wip of a traditional watercolour piece!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Chantal-Goetheer I did completely start over with a new piece of paper. I have a light table though, so I was able to just trace it again. It wasn't too bad.

@ArtistErin @Chantal-Goetheer and @Anaid-J finally got this one finished! I did end up doing some digital edits on the values in the end because the original didn't have quite the contrast I was looking for. Thanks for your help and encouragement everyone!

@kirsten-mcg This is even better! The salamander pops more:). Super clear composition! ️️️

[Chantal Goetheer]

@kirsten-mcg wow! It looks great! And indeed the red colour makes the salamander the first eye catcher, then it goes to the squirrel and then the mouse. Love it!

[Anaid J.]

@kirsten-mcg Oh my gosh I love the final result! And love watching all the process. Sometimes we think an illustration comes up very easily but is an entire process and knowing that you failed but tried a different approach that you liked better is very encouraging. Love it!

@Anaid-J thank you! I feel the same about watching other people’s process.
