:o



I took a break mid way through and came back, might've used a soft brush when I came back on accident

It was done using 91-95% strength, 5-8px hard brush (or soft brush on accident)

as far as composition, what about the composition isnt great? I tried to compose a flow and a decent focal point using a stronger color (originally teal) on the top right
I guess that seems like more of a background, less of an attractive focal




I guess my laptops color is off? the green is meant to be more of a teal, which works a lot better than the yellow+green+purple
ill mess with it a little bit


to many shapes that are the same size, try to avoid that. make it interesting, big dark value shapes inside a few light value etc etc mix it up. tbh there isnt much of a flow, but just count this as practice

why such a small amount of green?

why these colors? there too far away from each other on the color wheel to be analagous. a cooler yellow + that green woulda worked warmer but eh

also those big blocks of yellow, try changing the value in a different spots, have a darker yellow of that hue, and or lighter? color and value variation will make a piece more interesting instead of big flat blocks of color/value

you were using sanes tut ay?

try using a render or something.

also look around some tags/lps and pull out some colors you like.

for paintings and such a technique to do is find a piece where the colors work very well. then write down how much each color takes up the composition

blue is 50% of a piece

then magenta is 25%

purple is 10%

light blue 5%

etc etc you get it lol

So i've just discovered Pochi's deviant art. Holy shit, I think I'm good for inspiration for a while.
