April Contest WIP
-
Finished the line work and did the pencil shading. Now I have to deal with color and rendering, which is where things start to fall apart for me!

@demotlj This is looking so fun. I can’t wait to see the final. Cute concept.
-
@demotlj Love the cat!
-
@sarahlash I'm happy that you were able to figure out that it is a cat. I discovered that I'm terrible at drawing cats (probably because I only own dogs.)
-
@demotlj easily my favorite I’ve seen so far! It’s fun, lots of movement and dynamics. Love the expression(lessness) of the robot - totally just doing its thang. What if the cat is hissing instead?
-
@johnchoi Thanks so much. A hissing cat would have been a great idea and I wish I had thought of it earlier but I've already started the painting process and figuring out the colors may take me the rest of the month!
-
I’ve got quite a ways to go still but while I’m working on the rest of the painting I wanted to ask which color robot you think is best. I’m leaning toward the green but I have a terrible color sense. Any opinions?
-
Hi, this is coming along nicely! I think the blue works best because it's a nicer contrast against the pinkish cabinet, floor and cat/bin colors which are all warmer. I think the green is too close and begins to clash with the yellow and red tones in the rest of the scene. Cheers!

@natiwata After I posted it and looked at them side by side, I started to lean more towards the blue too.
-
Here’s the blue version and more rendering. I’m almost done — just some deeper shadows and highlights, and I have to work on the cat more so it doesn’t look like a giant rat. I may just take a break and come back to it with fresh eyes in a day.

Looking good! Lots of fun little things to see with the cans doing mischief.
