RE: Outer Spaceling

in #watercolor7 years ago

I really like it, and i still very much enjoy the way you combine the harder dots with the softer characteristics of the water color :)
Although i might suggest adding more nuances to the hair? It might just be me, but i find that some of the darker shades (like the dark purple), has a bit more variance in the way they look, but it might just be the picture. Maybe i would just add a bit more shade on the two lowest strains of hair to the left of her face, as they can appear as bit solid compared to the other pieces of color... Not sure if that made any sense :)

Have you ever played around with spraypainting those space portraits? Like the video below

I've done it before, it's pretty easy to get into, and it adds in a really nice element of randomness, which i appreciate a lot. I find that the uncontrollable element can both be really rewarding, and a nuisance at times. But most of all, i find that it gives can give a really interesting touch of depth and color.

I thought you might wanna try the combination of spray paint and water color out, as it might provide an interesting background for your art. After all, art is about experimentation, and it's always nice to try out new stuff.

If you do try it, do remember to buy yourself a good respirator, and do it outside. I've done it in my apartment several times, and it takes days to air out the smell of aerosol (plus i might just kill a quarter of a billion brain cells in the process).

in any case, i really like the artwork, and you did a great job. Glad to hear you having a bit of snow, here it's just grey and cold.

Cheers

Thank you for your comment @emilclaudell! ^^

Yeah, I know what you mean. It is work in progress always and thank you for being constructive it helps me grow.

Never done spraypaint in my life. Though I did consider secretly spraypaint one wall in my village where some one had used Soviet symbol. :( I might practice my galaxy skills there. Haha.

I considered doing that as well when someone spray painted Swastikas in my hometown. And i'm pretty confident that the painters weren't Hindu :/

It's actually pretty fun to spray pain, i would definitely give it a go. it is also pretty cheap to get into. I used Montana or Molotov, they tend to work pretty well. I mostly just used it for stencil stuff though, since i was a huge Banksy fanboy :)

Looking forward to the next piece
