Too Raw Meat-Like?


        These are the two copies of my illustrator portrait. As you can see, I originally intended to use shades of red for the face. Unfortunately, it came out looking like raw meat. To make it more appealing to the eye, and less repulsive (Kinda looks like her face was removed), i used shades of blue instead. I think most will agree that it's an improvement.

  1. I agree, the blue looks a lot nicer this way. However, if you prefer the red color, it might look a lot better if you toned down the saturation to some paler shades.

  2. I like how even though you made the rest of this gorgeous girl's face blue, you kept the hair black and not a darker shade of blue. It leaves room for a bit more contrast. The eyes being black also helps with this I think. Good thing your subject was beautiful cause that also must have helped pull this together.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
