Day 6

I think I'm finding that I like painting characters.. I started noticing that with the penguin draft as well.

Anyway, Day 6! here's the chicken! :)

Ref

Speed Painting
Now that I look at it here, the chicken I painted is a bit too cool.. and a bit plump. The anatomy is sort of off. That's something for me to work on.


By the way! I'm getting LASIK eye surgery on Thursday.. so I'll be recovering Thursday and Friday, but I think my eyes MIGHT be fine enough to paint at some point on Friday.. we'll see :)

Night!

    Always keep in mind that sunlight will bring the local color back. Meaning if the chicken is white the sunlit areas will become white again versus cool in the shadow. You have too much yellow in the highlights in the chest and tail section which is also a cool yellow making the highlight area feel muddy. It should be a warm white if not a full blown white in this case.

    Also try always think about light direction. You are treating the beak and Red parts of the face as flat color surfaces. If you look at the reference you will notice that there is much more going on than that. There is a clear highlight and a shadow side. Same note for the legs.

    When you look at the reference always determine the light direction too. Sometimes it helps to draw an arrow on an extra layer to indicate where the light is coming from.

    Keep going I put a bunch of new references in the picasa album!
