Group run through creative environment design week 2 art and feedback
-
@demotlj Great work! Yeah, this weekend must be crazy busy for you
That's a really good idea to use a program that limits the amount of detail and value your capable of using. I know that in procreate you can really zoom in, even with something thumbnail sized, so using goodnotes was just smart
-
@ErinCortese These are absolutely stunning
-
Started a thread for week 3!
-
Once again, If anyone here wants more critiquey feedback on their work, post it and tag me with an @ and I'll give you a short critique.
If you want a critique but DON'T wanna post it here for whatever reason feel free to PM me on these forums or DM me on discord
I don't feel AS comfortable critiquing these, but I'll do my best!

@murielle Thank you!
-
Week 2 just finished up. Challenging, some were more helpful in visualising than others.
-
@Braden-Hallett You do so well on all these exercises __ amazing stuff.
-
Very belated week 2 attempt
-
@Nathalie-Kranich Nice work! Looks to me like you nailed it
-
@Nathalie-Kranich These are great, your values look spot on!
-
@Nathalie-Kranich Pretty wow wow!
-
@Heather-Boyd @Erin-Cortese @Braden-Hallett thank you guyys, I swear I spent four times as long trying to find images to copy than I did copying them. How was your process for that, and where did you lot look for masters to study? I just sort of went with 'stuff I like ' but I'm not sure if there's a better educated way of determining what is worth studying

@Nathalie-Kranich I chose mine based on a variety of things, but they were all compositions that I either liked or had styles I want to experiment with in the future. Many, if not all of the compositions were ones that I already had saved on Instagram, or were taken directly from people I follow. I had so many saved to choose from that I narrowed it down based on wide format and different levels of detail.
I learned a lot doing it this way - one of the more detailed ones I did, I absolutely hated doing. It came from an artist who does environments that I thought I would love doing, and now I know I have absolutely no desire to work in that style. I learned things like that from the other thumbnails too.
-
Just my Pinterest boards. Then when I reviewed first collection -there was a colour scheme which was super cool (for myself to see that I naturally combine works by colours/complementary). So I based mine off of colour (unconsciously) and value to help me work through my struggle with that. Composition was sort of in the back of my mind. I work more on how a work makes me feel -atmosphere and mood and such.
-
@Nathalie-Kranich I think we're all in the same boat for picking study material
After a certain point a tried to stop thinking about the images and just take the ones that caught my eye. Pinterest was awesome for source material.

Ha, that makes me feel better then, anything we like goes I guess! I browsed Artstation for mine.
I also just noticed just how formulaic a lot of the images I picked out appear, in terms of placing a vertical object on the line to the right third, against a bright background, framed by a dark foreground. It applies to all of them, apart from the first, which is just the same formula flipped! I feel like @Heather-Boyd 's second set of choices also have a lot of similarities, with bright midgrounds being framed by quite dark foregrounds on both sides, like a cave.
