Thank you for the informative narrative.

 

[MindGem]

heh, I guess that was a joke

I've seen lots of informative step by step things
but I'm far from the professional to give out tips to anyone else.

Then I ask what is the point of the post?

Nice painting MindGem.

That's like asking what's the point of art itself or why are you alive?
Just post to get some feedback.

I guess I did that step by step thing because I'm used to do that with the usual stuff I do, like these..... (force of habit)

If find the progressing pictures very informative without a narrative. I have found most people will only look at the pictures anyway and skip reading what is said. At least I've had this happen to me many times. I'll put up a work in progress and say in my note 'ignore the shadow I'm going to fix it' and then I'll get 5 posts telling me that I need to work on the shadow....that is the kind of thing that frustrates me and I don't do many WIP any longer. I'm doing one now but it's because I'm trying out and old technique that is new to me.

I thought it was a picture he was posting. I wasn't sure if it was something he was working on.

It would be far more interesting to comment on if there was more information. For instance, what is a tiny study? Is this painted on a 1 inch canvas? Do you want input and criticism or just a pat on the back which is fine, we all enjoy that I think.

I'm not criticizing you, I'm new to this myself and I don't usually post enough info. I'm working on it.

Well at first I didn't know what was going on in this thread but I do like the painting. The digital art is pretty cool too, what program did you use?

And now you do?

 

[MindGem]

I don't really know why I posted it or if it's even saying anything. I'm just in a creative state and producing stuff fast so I posted it. nevermind.


By tiny study I meant it's a small canvas, held it in my hand infront of the puter and tried to find depth. Perhaps 30min work.

 

[dickhutchings]

You did a great job of generating some chatter. I like the 3 phases you posted. Keep going, will have some fun.

Tried a new step by step thing.
