@xin-li I love the concept! Rendering is spot on!
-
@Heather-Boyd thank you! I really wanted to try this perspective. My initial thumbnails had the POV on the ground looking up at Will with a flying alien in a spacesuit above him.. but when I got the idea for a reflection in the footprint I ditched the alien idea for an easier read. It was fun to come up with and execute this concept.

@Heather-Boyd thank you! Flowers and trees and I guess nature in general are some of my favorite things to draw!

@demotlj Yeah keep experimenting with different things thinking "THIS seems like the medium I like" and then find something else hah. I think I'm coming to a point where I'm going to end up with a really mixed media approach. I just realized not too long ago that I'm using acrylics a lot like water colors where I was doing all kinds of watered down washes and glazes to get it to do what I wanted. Someone just pointed it out to me so I started messing with watercolor but I'm still using watered down acrylic in the process. It's gettin' weird.
Do you ever reach for the undo key after you paint an actual stroke in a way you didn't like? I do that WAY too much lol.
-
@xin-li I rotated the canvas MANY times before I settled on the original way up, lol

I see that colour and lighting class paying off
Boy is it ever!

@Braden-Hallett I remember hearing somewhere that turning your painting upside-down is a good way to tell if it's balanced.
Ha, ha! You could hang it on a spinner, so it can be rotated. -
@Laura-Brown thanks. It is a bit tricky to get the picture up. I am sure it gets easier with use.
-
@Heather-Boyd Thank you!

@deborah-Haagenson @Heather-Boyd Thank you both!!
-
@CLCanadyArts I got lots of help at my WIP thread. I would not be able to do this by myself.
-
@Tom-Shannon thank you. I was really excited when I thumbnailed this idea. The rendering was a lot more difficult than I thought. Many thanks to many rounds of feedback at my WIP thread.
