Re: With verve into the light

Very good Knacki! c:! It really looks as some figure from 19th century. :ob
I think you should go bold with tones without fear!
Yes, mirroring is very important! I found using F6 very helpfull as my right eye is more dominant!
Even flipping vertically could help but didn't found that usefull yet! :roll:

Re: With verve into the light

I also frequently flip with F6 and even continue painting on it mirrored or warp a little.
Vertical flipping can be nice to sense lighting consistencies. I found that it entirely detaches you from the subject, allowing you to judge consistencies of other aspects such as lighting, balance of values and shapes. Plus it somehow reveals to you the power of your understanding, if you didn't believe in it enough earlier, hehehe. :shrug:

Re: With verve into the light

Flipping is cool, but I easily forget it.
Verve shows me flipped face in realtime, so what? ;)
I can paint on both sides, it's cool.
Maybe not necessary, but very cool.


Constructed heads are a bit same without reference, so I do some free ones and some reference in-between to get better feeling for variation INSIDE proportions.
Shading is also nice to see and understand light first a bit better.
Next one missed likeness but distortion and proportion were main target..
Which I didn't nail 100% but it's getting easier with loomis way every time. My older way in constructing heads where much more flexible but not precise enough to add fixtures properly.

No, I am not interested in soccer. Maybe world championship sometimes. That's it.

Re: With verve into the light

HAA, that's awesome, Knacki!!! :lol: ...I don't know how you've managed that appearance, but it feels like a mixture out of color pencils and markers (felt pens)! :o :ob
Great focused reduction on the color choices! I absolutely dig it!!!
Just the mic looks funny, because it doesn't look like it's on a stand and rather floats in the air?!
That reminds me...where ever Mike has gone?!? I've just yesterday talked with my wife about him. I hope he's alright! :shrug:

Re: With verve into the light

Hey - yeah, some painting was quite relaxing after all this more drawing style stuff..
@taron it's brush #9 on big canvas and structure on.
I saw no way to make him build up real stroke structure.
Originally I wanted to have canvas structure obviously visible and opaque thick strokes.
Other brushes doesn't really react physically with canvas, as far as I feel.
It was more a mistake actually.
About micro - :lol: there is something left to do for sure ;) stay tuned ;)
