19.02 Study + Lil Notes

Trying to practice people and painting them!

So as always I gotta start of with the gesture! (Always)

I moved straight to detailing the muscles and forms of the body from the gesture and adding simple shadows

I wasn’t satisfied with the shadows so I did a little value (b/w) painting underneath my lines to detail the shadows

I thought that since I’m already halfway done with the painting, might as well add color. Except, I never really go from b/w to color so this was harder than I expected. I didn’t really like the colors at this point but I thought oh at least something is better than nothing right?

Then I moved on from there to here. I adjusted the colors to be overall warmer and more red (just personal preferences lol) and rendered above it a little. (By rendered, I mostly just blended shapes together)

I don’t think I managed to fully capture the shadows the reference had but this was an interesting study since I took a new approach! I need to practice painting bodies more 🤔
