been trying to improve my values and color through maprunch and photo studies and painting demos. haven‘t done many and it reaaaaally sucks when the pieces don‘t turn out how i want them to, but i feel like i‘m getting a bit better through this practice. tutorial below:

————————

I also tried to establish a workflow, so i don‘t get overwhelmed by tring to capture all the information at once.

At first i‘m looking for composition. I want to either put the horizon line at the upper 1/3 mark, or the lower one, never right in the middle (because thats boring). And the focal point / point of biggest contrast goes on one of the vertical 1/3 lines.

then i‘m looking for big shadow and light shapes. it’s easier for the eye to group smaller shapes together. kind of abstract.

Then comes the hardest part: colors, saturation and contrast. i think i still stay too much in the grays and whites. i almost never go into black and my contrast is always a bit low because of that. then i oversaturate stuff to keep it differentiated from one another because of the lacking contrast xDD

This is a very good example of this: everything is very oversaturated and bascially screaming at the viewer. everything is loud, contrasted and saturated and thus lacks a focal point, even though the buildings on the side are pointing towards the middle building.

Doing these studies is kind of boring sometimes, but very helpful in pointing out my weaknesses and hopefully one day i have learned so much from them, that i can use it to draw some imaginary scenes.
