im not dead! ive had this finished for near two weeks now, im really not sure why i didnt submit it earlier. i meant to, but im not sure what happened!
i sat down at my computer one afternoon and finally finished this sketch: [link] . surprisingly enough, it only took me something like 8 hours, which is amazing for me. im a slow colorer and often spread things over a few days. on this particular day, i remember being a bit in a funk here at the house, and this really did the trick to get me out of it (and kill the afternoon, making way for a funfilled evening!). i really am not quite sure how i went about and did this. it was much more painterly than ive ever done before, and sweet mother of pearl, i actually like it! i moved a few things, like the main mountain peak on the right side, i moved it up from the sketch. nixed a bunch of other mountains for subtle suggestions of them far away. i also added lots of things, like edge of the rock face thats in the bottom of the image. at first i didnt want to have that in there, but truth be told, i couldnt get it to look right any other way. in terms of color palette, essentially, i started from the top and worked down. thus, i started with the sky. i spent quite a lot of time working to get that looking and feeling the way i wanted it to. from there, i had the option of just sampling colors from the sky and clouds and using them for everything else - with the obvious adjustment of darkening them. it definately had the unifying effect i wanted it to, and i made several mental notes at how helpful it was to really build out the color palette in the begining. i worked really hard, so thanks for taking the time to look! |
