Week 5 John HW progress

Hey Craig,  Alex, Brandon, and Deborah.


I continued to develop the "David vs Goliath" version of the Golem since, to me, the overall composition was reading better. I knew as I continued to develop the image with more detail, the overall legibility of the shadow shapes might be difficult to maintain.

Here is what I have so far, the past two weeks have been crazy busy, but I managed to put some time into the image every day, even if it was only 1/2 hour or so.

I re-did the line art. Ideally cleaner line art might have helped more.

Working out the composition shapes based upon Craig's feedback.

During the painting process I re-did the pose as I was not happy with how the body of the Golem was reading. I think my previous shade art is still better for the pose. I just don't know how to paint trees, looking at various examples of trees lead me to this.

Still needs more work!

Mini assignment!

Since we have an extra week due to the postponement, I'd like you all to make a master copy in Black and white of either a vehicle from Syd Mead or Ralph McQuarrie, or a building from Frank Lloyd Wright or Hugh Ferriss.

We will be including vehicles or architecture in our next assignment, so this will help you get a jump on that!

Just the tones

Week 4 Johns flow and theme shape

Red is flow, blue is the triangle theme. Craig, I love this step and it really helps me map out  the various elements in the composition.

I was unable to directly upload this image to Blogger, so made a link from Photobucket.
