The problem was that I didn't work out the tones before I started, and I was frustrated because you couldn't tell what was what. My son came in this morning as I was deciding that I was finished even though I was unsatisfied, and said, "Cool! Oh wait, there's are THINGS in there; I thought it was just a cool doodle of shapes." Exactly!
I seem to have a harder time with bigger pictures. This one is 11" X 11". More room to get distracted and lose your focus in.
But I am done, and now I will start something for this week's "Sky" topic.
I understand your point, but it was actually a pleasant surprise , when she suddenly emerged... It's a very nice illustration!
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing
ReplyDeleteinteresting you should say that about bigger pictures _ have trouble with bigger paintings - the consensus is to use a bigger brush :) but I reckon they forget all the subtleties in translating to smalll to big - I think it's great youtr son diodn't see everything straight away. Sometimes that leads to a more interesting work because we get out of it what we put into it. (Os I didn't like the drips I put in my images either - they were just for fun :)
ReplyDeletesee you!
Nice post. It was the possibility that there WERE 'things in there' that had me open your image. Layering and texturing do take time, you're right. I find though, that I discover new things in the images, things I had perhaps not consciously intended, when I let the layering happen, rather than planning it out. Looking forward to seeing what you do with 'haunt'.
