Final Paintings

With the advice given to me over the course I was trying hard to get a good range of values in my paintings, I considered the light source more and also the consistency of light between all the scenes. I will next time take pictures of perhaps a wooden mannikin or a person in the poses just to see a more precise idea of where the light hits. If you look back at the “flat” images I hope you can see the difference and the new picture jumping out a bit more. I painted with light grey around 20% backgrounds and blocked out my characters with a darker grey and line drawing, shadow was added then highlights were added with a 5% grey. I combined the soft brush with the hard to create edges. Colour dodge and overlay were used a lot with lighting and shadows.
