Between these two pieces, it's obvious how much you're progressing with Painter! At the time of my posting, the second gif doesn't seem to be working, so I wish I could see your process, but I'm really glad that you decided to leave out most of the lines in the second portrait. The blue-ish shadows on her jacket are gorgeous and compliment the blue in her hair. I'm in love with that kind of simplified, tinted shadows that provide the opportunity to add in more color and help the palette read together as a whole. Your style is so pretty!
I really like the characterization in these pieces and the painterly colors I feel really compliment your style. Like Trina said, I wish you captured two or three more frames in your progress gif just to see how you finalized your second portrait. Everything is simple, clean, and very eye-catching.
I love your color use and the stylization you used for these. I think you managed to build form and things nicely, even if painter seemed clunky to you. I would definitely like to see some more darks on the second one, especially to give form to her eyes. I really like the blockiness of her shirt though
These two portraits are so pretty! I really enjoy the bright vibrant colors that are shown on them! Your style is definitely shown within these and I can see that you've improved very much. I think it would've been fun to see more process shots, but all in all great job!
I really love your colors in these. It's also very impressive that there was not a direct reference used, and that your style has been integrated into the portraits. I think your second portrait was especially successful, which i think is because of the subtlety in the linework. There's a really nice medium between your illustrative style and realistic portraiture painting here. I like the way the shirt is rendered with a lot of solid colors and not a ton of blending.
i really like the one with pink hair but i want to see the line work refined a little better. i like the looseness of it but i feel like in her right eye could be fixed as well as near her earring. the second one to me feels like it isn't finished yet as far as her jacket goes. i really like your use of color also
I really like your loosely drawn line work. These remind of fashion illustrations. These are simple enough that it isn't overworked, but at the same time you can still see what type of outfit the women are wearing.
These two are so cute, and your textures and stylization in these are so sweet. I feel like these would go into a fashion magazine or something. Theres a really good balance between simplicity and close detail, which is a super smart way to work through a final project, I'll have to keep that in mind for next semester.
Yeah, you definitely are making progress. I've found that it's actually easier for me to paint POC skin tones because you can really see the different colors. I think you've captured that really well in the second portrait. I would love to see a re-do of the first portrait as you've done the second one. I'm very fond of the painterly, but still design-based way you've addressed the features of your second piece. The sketchy quality of the first one is really different from it and perhaps not as successful as I can't really see the structure of the face like I can in the second one. I think painter works for you!
The second one definitely looks more like a finished piece. I think it's because you were able to carve out some planes in her face. The pink haired girl is so flat that it looks like you've only just started with that one. It looks like you're totally capable of working with some pretty nice lighting, I'd use it on the pink haired girl and try to bring back out some of the planes of her face so she looks a bit more dimensional. I also think getting rid of the sketch marks would be good -- maybe finalizing it in either a more stylized linework, or just minimizing it a bit. The bottom one really shows what it could be like with just color against color, I think it's definitely an improvement and it'd be really nice to see what you could do if you continue with painter! I think there's a lot of great stuff in the last one - color wise, and form wise! Maybe both could have one more layer of alternative color detail - just to bring one more level of depth!
There's a curious interplay going on between your two portraits- the first draws a lot of it's strength from color and the second gets a lot it's voice from the shapes. The materials you use really show through with the second and remind me a lot of some of the exercises we had to practice in Drawing 2 (this is a good thing, trust me) The first feels a bit more like a traditional Photoshop sketch, granted, but as a piece it still looks very good! You see a it more of the painter qualities in her eyes, and in a portrait good detail in the eyes goes a long way in measuring success.
i can deffinitley see you progress it seems that you had alot of easier time with wetmedia. though i think the first one would have been more sucessfull if had gotten rid of the line work like you did in the second one and work on rendering.
