Use of Composition - Common Art (Week 05)

 

For this digital painting of our school mascot(s), I used a lot of oil painting brushes to block out primary shapes and fill in color details! I really like working with these kinds of brushes so this project was fun but also very challenging. I struggled with lighting the most because some spots would end up bleeding too much around with the brushes and just look muddy. Even though this stage of the piece may not look as clean as Frazetta's masterpieces, I tried to mimic some of his analogous color palettes and somewhat painterly style (where I think I took the most liberties). With more time, I would push the contrast and introduce some new hues for more color complexity.
