I kind of rushed the building shadow a little bit. This took me longer than an hour. The shadow color isn't dark enough and the shape could be pushed more.
You are definitely much better at your paintings from reference.
In the chair painting below you prolly got carried away by the details. That weren't focusing on the lighting. You are still doing very complicated objects. round reflective objects or flowers etc. Those are not easy objects to paint. I would find something easier that you can easily stylize too. Like books, your speakers on your desk, etc.
You might wanna paint the same reference scene again but out of memory and add something to it. A red newspaper box or a fire hydrant. And see how much you can remember from this photo. That might let you focus more on light direction.

Ok, that sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm getting too frustrated on not rendering the objects correctly too.
I'll definitely do more simple objects.
Thanks, Goro!
