I have been delinquent here, mostly because I forgot the password. So I bothered to get a new one! All because someone finally posted a new comment on an old post from last year, which came into my inbox, and gave me a nudge!<br />
<br />
So what am I up to? Working slowly on book #6 of <a href="http://leannefranson.com/innovels/puppies.html">The Puppy Collection</a> by Susan Hughes, published in English and French by Scholastic Canada.<br />
<br />
And I have started doing Pet Portraits again. Got some business cards made up, made up some posters... trying to get the word out by posting at vets, groomers, petshops. And I updated my website to add <a href="http://www.leannefranson.com/pets_index.html">a page specifically for them</a>. BTW, my whole illustration website is updated, and you can take a look <a href="http://www.leannefranson.com/newworkindex.html">at new work from the past year here</a>.<br />
<br />
So, I have only had two commissions this year so far, and here they are. <br />
<br />
First my dear longtime friend Dominique hired me to draw herself together with her departed kitty Charlotte. She just had one good photo of them together, but she didn't look very smiley, and Charlotte was a demon cat since she had flash in her eyes. But I used another photo of Charlotte to fix her eyes, and used a photo reference of Dominique on vacation to give her a happier contenance. <br />
<br />
My first version was this one: <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9XNVKWXuwiDDvxtxV71FgiLA3GbutS1LiR_BnO3NjTx7FG_Z-pve556pdvCWPGndRnFty7SDoxfWsJLBdfRiSAZGF0uNVHFxfViiBs6vYXRYQtxHHXIRb8o8flI_TGZTmWo3TV6Ohp3E/s1600/dominique_charlotte_drawing_72.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9XNVKWXuwiDDvxtxV71FgiLA3GbutS1LiR_BnO3NjTx7FG_Z-pve556pdvCWPGndRnFty7SDoxfWsJLBdfRiSAZGF0uNVHFxfViiBs6vYXRYQtxHHXIRb8o8flI_TGZTmWo3TV6Ohp3E/s320/dominique_charlotte_drawing_72.jpg" /></a></div><br />
But Dominique preferred to have her glasses removed and a more monochrome palette, so I obliged. That is the wonder of digital! It was done, as my other Pet Portraits, in Corel Painter. I did Charlotte and Dominique in Real2B Pencil brush, and added the background and her clothing in Pastel brush.<br />
<br />

After this one, my friend and relation, Danielle Marie, ordered a unique painting for a gift for her hubby for Christmas. She has a wonderful young Great Dane named Domino, and she wished for a portrait with watercolor. I did the drawing of Domino again in Real 2B brush in Painter 11. But then when it was approved, I printed it out onto Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper with my Epson R1900. Then I added in a wash background, as well as doing the shading on Domino's white body, with my regular Rotring Artistcolor acrylic inks, which I use to colour my children's illustrations. <br />
<br />
I think it turned out very well. I just mailed out the watercolor paper original today.<P><P><br />

<P><P>I sent the final watercolor, but I also delivered both the black line version and the colour final version digitally, so that Danielle can print out or post online her drawing (for personal use only) without having to scan the original.<br />
<br />
Here is the final black and white version:<br />

Anyways, I am taking orders, if anyone is interested in having their own pet portrait done. <br />
<br />
It starts at $125 for one pet delivered digitally, and $50 for a second pet in the same image, or to add a bust of a person (ie Dominique's was $175). The drawing for Danielle, of one pet with a wash background, was $200 plus shipping if you want the paper original. If you happen to be in Canada, I have to charge GST as well. <br />
<br />
What a wonderful personal gift for Christmas, a birthday or other special occasion! <br />
You can email me at inkspots@videotron.ca<br />
<br />
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the drawings! Leave me some comments as I'd love to hear what you think!<br />

Sure wish she'd hold still til I was at least done blocking in the lights and darks! Best I could do...
I guess I should take a photo at her first pose so if she moves I can continue. Challenges of live models!

This one is Kitty Alley lying on the table beside my computer. I was trying to sketch as fast as possible but of course she still moved.<P>
Finding it frustrating to not understand properly how to get the 2B Pencil brush in Painter to go wider when I tilt it and draw in certain directions for the black. Not much control. Good exercise though.

And no, I don't put curlers in my hair (who has time?!) or wear a housecoat and pjs. Or mismatch my socks. But the coffee cup is authentic, as are the birkenstocks, overdue bills, worn out hoodie, fingerless glove and art supplies! :)
What is YOUR art-related nightmare?

Between moving from Montreal to Saskatchewan (Martensville, just north of Saskatoon), too much work, no work, too much work, travel etc... I seems centuries since I have been drawing just for drawing.
Two days ago I heard about SkADaMo: Sketch A Day Month, this November. And decided to go for it.
I am sorry that for me, days usually start late and finish late, so for me it is still Nov 1 but for everyone else I am late. Here goes! Someone said that the theme was "vice". Mine seem to be procrastinating, coffee and munchies (buttered popcorn, melted cheese, gummy bears...) less than exciting things like absinthe, crack cocaine, wild sex, grand theft auto... so here we go!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhczIEeq6LrDHFw2x1NARZE0_L9YFPp0Sb7bBT250HMS_LO1TNHQq3u1F_89FQYfuJofF6gb1jqAfRLwwEj8oQdDv1QGpe3FkZscZEp95DAzMtPSRzDBpxrmd9Yk-h-RfgeWAmRFbM3jhqp/s1600/SkADaMo_nov1_72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhczIEeq6LrDHFw2x1NARZE0_L9YFPp0Sb7bBT250HMS_LO1TNHQq3u1F_89FQYfuJofF6gb1jqAfRLwwEj8oQdDv1QGpe3FkZscZEp95DAzMtPSRzDBpxrmd9Yk-h-RfgeWAmRFbM3jhqp/s400/SkADaMo_nov1_72.jpg" /></a></div>
Hopefully tomorrow I'll draw something more interesting than "myself"!! This is quite like my Liliane comix character, though you can tell it is me, not her, since I have a nose!Leanne Fransonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06318369440363696129noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714146531570925075.post-20909583279180149802011-07-23T04:12:00.001-04:002011-07-23T04:21:04.603-04:00Schoolism Assignment 9: Finishing: Step by Step fleshed out- Day 4Here's where I was at the end of day 3 of coloring (do go back to the previous two posts to see days 1 and 2-3). Pretty much the cow was colored, the background finished, and I was ready to put in brambles as I had tried out sketchily on a layer the previous day. <br />

Here you can see my bramble references, and I have drawn in the brambles mostly with a fairly small dark airbrush.<br />

I tried drawing in more brambles in the lower left, but found it was getting too confused. What I then did was copy and paste the bramble layer, shift it off to the left and down a bit, so I had duplicate brambles, and lowered the opacity on one of the two bramble layers to give depth, and also erased a few stray brambles. I suppose it "shows" that I have copied and pasted, but I didn't really mind the repetition, since it gave depth and more brambles without actually adding more shapes and thus more confusion of forms. I liked the relaxing repetition of the lines vs having it just look like a big tangled ball of wool. Not sure if this was the right decision, but it still doesn't bother me, weirdly, since I often look for cut and paste in illustrations and it annoys me. :)<br />

I decided the brambles in the upper left, over the sky didn't so much "frame" my character as trap her, so I erased them completely:<br />

Copying the canvas texture over my painting, tiling it. Since it had a slight gradation, darker to the right, I flipped the right hand "tiles" so that I didn't get a hard value-change line where they meet.<br />

I've erased a bit where the "tiles" of canvas overlap to make the lines a bit less straight and obvious:<br />

Here is what my image looks like with the canvas texture layer closed:<br />
I liked that the colors were quite saturated and moody:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XoA3CzjSLIz3haJ8UHdimTtlxaJbN7_SLtWWuVGPCBAeiyg4QLwUi0o3YitiXlSGr8PGnQrhLkw2kj_NGz5zfXG_oSNabkp_fS-oFpSSO49v7rZuLCjNVt81Yok4rB262AI5ukK5mUUs/s1600/schoolism_ass9_mon0-42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XoA3CzjSLIz3haJ8UHdimTtlxaJbN7_SLtWWuVGPCBAeiyg4QLwUi0o3YitiXlSGr8PGnQrhLkw2kj_NGz5zfXG_oSNabkp_fS-oFpSSO49v7rZuLCjNVt81Yok4rB262AI5ukK5mUUs/s400/schoolism_ass9_mon0-42.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And here is what the image looks like with the canvas texture layer turned on, and set to overlay, at a low percentage opacity. I find it really lightens/brightens up the image and loses a lot of the moodiness and feeling of dread, as the canvas is quite light and cream colored.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCgk9byKmTEf6DSoupie9Eyl3ONfJHS1aA7f4sNLSVG1OvWc6hsdWgW0Vl6f2VFHiIJraVCC62l855a4777V_jeD-L2Fdtjk9p0Uo4G4TARf8FfUaSGYtiN_RYItew2QuQTDDbg-nZSLP/s1600/schoolism_ass9-mon0-42.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitCgk9byKmTEf6DSoupie9Eyl3ONfJHS1aA7f4sNLSVG1OvWc6hsdWgW0Vl6f2VFHiIJraVCC62l855a4777V_jeD-L2Fdtjk9p0Uo4G4TARf8FfUaSGYtiN_RYItew2QuQTDDbg-nZSLP/s400/schoolism_ass9-mon0-42.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
So I tried adjusting the color of the canvas layer, bringing down the saturation of it, so it would be greytone rather than cream colored, to see if that helped.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyref1YrZqtmpC6YXM_MnUVerpK5KGA3bED5OwqxduO856Jmfx3v7XKijFVKeCy8EftFRjPJ29Iyl9aSSL66d59t51yP8rFLO0FelmWmnwl6Nd9l2NKBCfiZgF-PPjFbO3TRYo63ucziCR/s1600/schoolism_ass9-mon0-43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyref1YrZqtmpC6YXM_MnUVerpK5KGA3bED5OwqxduO856Jmfx3v7XKijFVKeCy8EftFRjPJ29Iyl9aSSL66d59t51yP8rFLO0FelmWmnwl6Nd9l2NKBCfiZgF-PPjFbO3TRYo63ucziCR/s400/schoolism_ass9-mon0-43.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I didn't think that worked enough so I junked it and started over again.<br />
<br />

I tried desaturating the canvas layer right from the start before changing it to overlay.<br />
<br />

I liked that better. Though I still wasn't crazy about the canvas texture. I did a lot of erasing it out in places, esp on the background, where I felt it overwhelmed the atmospheric sky and on the cow herself where I felt it interfered with the shiny look of her armour. Here I am comparing against my prof's final painting for this assignment. Oh, I also airbrushed some more blue into the cow's eyeball which had really gone totally white from the glow brush at the center of the orb.<br />
<br />

Here's my final work with canvas overlay. Hopefully if you click on it, you'll get a large enough image to be able to see the texture which I dislike and feel is kind of "cheap" (like a fine master painting printed out in a print shop on a cheap canvas stretcher). [hmmm, it appears that my screenshots of my work in Painter are much more saturated for color than the Photoshop equivalents in psd or jpg that I post here... grrr]<br />
<br />

Here's my final work without the canvas over it, which I prefer. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp4T79OQ-vQFVS2EDtwISiZ66sdmiG7nBGwgw8hu1x2b5Ip_hTmNadbJm0sNms9akLhhjxfB5nHFNPEKUQE4DHYCkEMjqgdciHou8_B4m1cSDa1oQdWGBMqhIEFJ0AfDma2BXGK9iuWnbF/s1600/schoolism_assignment9_day4_notextureover2_150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp4T79OQ-vQFVS2EDtwISiZ66sdmiG7nBGwgw8hu1x2b5Ip_hTmNadbJm0sNms9akLhhjxfB5nHFNPEKUQE4DHYCkEMjqgdciHou8_B4m1cSDa1oQdWGBMqhIEFJ0AfDma2BXGK9iuWnbF/s400/schoolism_assignment9_day4_notextureover2_150.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I still prefer the painting with no brambles in front. I feel that it works better for the cow to not be hemmed in. Perhaps for a portrait of a static character, it is nice to frame it in, and darken around the edges of the canvas on all sides, but I feel that the brambles cage her in and stop her forward hurdle into escape. I also feel that it weights the image too equally. Without the brambles on the left, our eyes follow her eyes behind her, where there are the dark, rather sharp focused tree shapes on the horizon, and we fear what we don't see out of the frame. With the brambles in front, they balance out the dark, as well as the sharp detail, behind her. Also without the brambles, there is a nice contrast between the defined cow character, and the soft background which pushes back away from her, bringing her more into focus. And there is also the nice transition from the sharp dark tree shapes in the back right horizon, to the softer less defined and lighter horizon to the left. Ahhh well. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyX0uOsAwb4u7m0L4SZuCAwULXcn4p8DqB6zUPamqKHpdsO_vVmBCncqTuUx7u8B1UATgCLpaz4FHbwiSG_AfQGCudBXTuIl358hncM7IeMEoQdYMcyBR851PuBaTFZQ2qnqTQCcrKn6gZ/s1600/schoolism_assign9_day3-4compare.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="150" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyX0uOsAwb4u7m0L4SZuCAwULXcn4p8DqB6zUPamqKHpdsO_vVmBCncqTuUx7u8B1UATgCLpaz4FHbwiSG_AfQGCudBXTuIl358hncM7IeMEoQdYMcyBR851PuBaTFZQ2qnqTQCcrKn6gZ/s400/schoolism_assign9_day3-4compare.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I also feel that I overdid the blue glow brush on the armour and probably also her eyes. I lost the shape of her eyes too between the black and white (where there is darker overhang of the eyelids only on the left side of the eyeball) and the final color image (where the dark blue shadow is more equal over the whole top of the eyeball), so her eye has less character and emotion. The fly behind her butt in the trees should come out as it is just confusing. etc etc etc.<br />
<br />
But all in all I am pretty happy with the final illustration, and feel I have learned so much about Painter: brushes, "cover" types, adjusting colors (saturation, value, hue), different layer types, combining layers, using lasso tools as masks, bringing back parts of "lost" drawing into a painting, using references, adjusting using the transparency slider on the layers, varying areas of detail and focus, etc etc. <br />
<br />
And I still feel I have barely started to scrape the surface. But if you look in this blog at what I was doing with the cintiq and Painter <a href="http://leannefranson.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html" target="blank3">when I started it</a>, and now, the differences of ease and skill are astounding. <br />
<br />
The Schoolism <a href="http://schoolism.com/school.php?id=5" target="blank3">Painting in Painter</a>class was definitely worth my time and money. A great investment. Thanks to the <a href="http://schoolism.com/" target="blank3">Schoolism team</a> who troubleshot all sorts of technical issues, and my prof, <a href="http://woodyart.blogspot.com/">Ryan Wood</a>, for his clear video tutorials, his calm encouraging voice, his help with questions, his detailed individual aid through the video critiques of our work, and all the other students who shared their work and their critiques online. Best of luck to everyone. <br />

Again comparing my color version with the Wyeth color reference and my black and white version... airbrushing over the whole image with it zoomed out, with more saturated yellows, oranges and reds to bring it up to the saturation level of the Wyeth... it was just tooo pale:<br />

Here is where I am attempting to use the Dirty Marker brush that my prof uses so often to put in more dark and random colors into areas. It is totally just making a mess: I seem to get just wide flat swatches, too saturated, or narrow chisel-shaped swatches. What a mess!<br />

Here, I've chosen a French Watercolor Paper type, and upped the contrast to get an interesting paper texture, with the intention of rubbing Pastels over it to pick up the texture and get some roughness into my armour (I have lassoed the shoulder armour). Weirdly enough the pastel is going "pastel" (haha, ie like "pastel blue" instead of "deep blue") ie whiter and lighter, when I don't press hard on it. No idea why. And it only picks up the texture of the paper if I don't press hard. I only get the color I want when I press hard, but when I do, I fill in the paper texture with the pastel. Fail:<br />

Doing the same texture thing with the paper and Square Chalk 35, on the armour of the neck and face. You can see here I have made the paper texture really fine by dialing down its size (upper slider on the paper palette window):<br />

Here I am using Focus-Soften, to make the armour around the rear leg of the cow less "sharp" so it isn't equally as detailed on the back of the cow as on the face, and our eye will be less drawn back there:<br />
<br />

Coming back to work on "highlights" now on the armour now that I have put in a lot of darker texture. Airbrushing in blue light that would be reflecting from her glowing eyes:<br />

Here I am starting on the third day of coloring in: <br />
<br />
Coming back into the cow's tail and hair to mix it up, using the Real Soft Colored Pencils again, as well as refining the back foot and grass where they meet:<br />
<br />

Taking a look at the illustration, I thought it looked like the milking machine hose and drops weren't between the two back legs but actually in front of them. so I copied and pasted just the hose, and moved it up quite a bit, so it would be going back: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinSgr8hn_7gUr36G_tG6KrZuwwt_LggHFKV7-G-pygZz2EBzTkqfKcoKAa54yu5-r_458FuD-MtXLaD2_eDoLss8og93WQL0I63lwZJ12r64xhUi5Mqekq4Ef-XIwF0lSbnUnBcwkz6ewF/s1600/schoolism_ass9_sat1-31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinSgr8hn_7gUr36G_tG6KrZuwwt_LggHFKV7-G-pygZz2EBzTkqfKcoKAa54yu5-r_458FuD-MtXLaD2_eDoLss8og93WQL0I63lwZJ12r64xhUi5Mqekq4Ef-XIwF0lSbnUnBcwkz6ewF/s400/schoolism_ass9_sat1-31.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Here I've painted out the original milking machine hose:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicj1qEgWojJ_XiIRplriSnSPAnN3yMenhycw-zUX49ew5iWPhFuFDg7BUO8ptWExBZQGVjnmUPJuuKCq130Q1I0RWh2BVWh4qJT4U9QP6-tqNXWISxOA5JOHdbLqxKkbiPq-VHKG1_PiXg/s1600/schoolism_ass9-sat1-33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicj1qEgWojJ_XiIRplriSnSPAnN3yMenhycw-zUX49ew5iWPhFuFDg7BUO8ptWExBZQGVjnmUPJuuKCq130Q1I0RWh2BVWh4qJT4U9QP6-tqNXWISxOA5JOHdbLqxKkbiPq-VHKG1_PiXg/s400/schoolism_ass9-sat1-33.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I also thought that they were so bright they are competing for attention with the cow's face and eyes, so I am adjusting the color and bringing down the saturation, and also making the hue a bit darker, less bright turquoise (which I had originally put in exactly TO match the eye color):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWQl7Rd8idZF9amv45dS2SrBECgS7B2AU76L8XD2W89p-QQJYoKfO6Uq5ivn3IB3krqmfCrEnfFwIqiXqF-4jdP34HnDWMVAspkhvSq_MuwE1949abakj2iM49N3n85f_Wx5L4ENYViUX/s1600/schoolism_ass9-sat1-36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWQl7Rd8idZF9amv45dS2SrBECgS7B2AU76L8XD2W89p-QQJYoKfO6Uq5ivn3IB3krqmfCrEnfFwIqiXqF-4jdP34HnDWMVAspkhvSq_MuwE1949abakj2iM49N3n85f_Wx5L4ENYViUX/s400/schoolism_ass9-sat1-36.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I also found that the udder was too turquoise and close in color to the background in front of the cows front left knee, so I am changing it to a more navy blue using adjust color: hue:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUD9_cTuBumvZHHwtKqt3NcUYkzSvK8h6j2hpZHFhxplYKIsaLLYW4k2jRMbTI0iko1-JWWZR1tqv-Kp5z7SJW-8ChMc9oN8Y8LQuE08l1auzP9mR82h-I33cYhTdr72jSC4xMtlDBqD9/s1600/schoolism_ass9-sat1-39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijUD9_cTuBumvZHHwtKqt3NcUYkzSvK8h6j2hpZHFhxplYKIsaLLYW4k2jRMbTI0iko1-JWWZR1tqv-Kp5z7SJW-8ChMc9oN8Y8LQuE08l1auzP9mR82h-I33cYhTdr72jSC4xMtlDBqD9/s400/schoolism_ass9-sat1-39.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Happy with the new cow udder color, as I feel it doesn't get lost, and also doesn't draw attention from where I want the focus to be on the face:<br />
<br />

Fixing the texture and shape on the front of the cow's brow, again using a lasso, and the square chalk:<br />
<br />

Again, having trouble with the colors of a brush: again, like the Pastel brush earlier, on a new layer, the Real Soft Colored Pencil which I had used earlier directly on the canvas quite nicely, is going "whitish" when I don't apply heavy pressure. Why oh why?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh6XvMBUWZx0sNbT1XHkPI60Iki-KP6NRUxxej6lEDtuuJW1PTLRmHLOdLY4-wdK0Ry1FtoBnx0NG6UqrQ3eXd1JvaFkbi_McWJ0t_o-ueyr6DDv899k4sk4mKo7UYwnyAfqz7uINvfXDS/s1600/schoolism_ass9_sat1-54.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh6XvMBUWZx0sNbT1XHkPI60Iki-KP6NRUxxej6lEDtuuJW1PTLRmHLOdLY4-wdK0Ry1FtoBnx0NG6UqrQ3eXd1JvaFkbi_McWJ0t_o-ueyr6DDv899k4sk4mKo7UYwnyAfqz7uINvfXDS/s400/schoolism_ass9_sat1-54.jpg" /></a></div><br />
At this point I again felt that the back parts of the cow were too sharply textured, so I repeated what I did to soften the focus on the rear hip armour, with the belly armour of the cow: focus-soften-gaussian:<br />
<br />

Checking how things are coming along, with the blurrier areas further back on the cow. Also smearing around a bit with the Brushy brush (one of my prof's custom RyanBrushes, along with the Washabrusha). Looking at it I realized I still really hated the trailing milking machine and drops of milk which just are wrong and stand out too much.<br />
<br />

Decided I didn't like that the skyline went up in the back and in the front: using a light grey yellow to airbrush over the darker bushes in the left horizon, and extend the sky down to give an angle:<br />

Airbrushing a dark shadow under the cow to hold her to the ground, and make her less floaty:<br />

Taking a good comparing look at my reference material and my painting, comparing the levels of color saturation, range of values, horizon and sky colors and textures... Not bad, compared to where I started with pretty mushy soft, undersaturated colors and textures:<br />

Then before I hung it up for the day, I quickly put in another layer to try out putting in brambles in the immediate foreground in front of the cow, much like my prof put in cables in front of his robot in his tutorial painting, just to see what it looked like blocked in sketchily:<br />
<br />

(Click on any image to see larger) Assignment 3 was to draw a black and white "shiny" (ie hard reflective surfaces) character. Here is my submission:<br />

Assignment 6 was to use a visual reference (I used an Andrew Wyeth painting, "Jack be Nimble") for a colour palette and use the mixer palette to paint Assignment 3 "alla prima". Here is my submission:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOD9cTbqSImzXkpeQheGw1fXemgNxm63dPVX7Jmay-mcmryIWTCALLR1TH1vWemPn_pTOybKAfWHImfXxjppHPotH7qJtlwOVokp-yLpT1oDkfrMauXV9Kq30ACKWU3iPcDxXx2hyphenhyphenl5uF/s1600/schoolism_assignment6_150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOD9cTbqSImzXkpeQheGw1fXemgNxm63dPVX7Jmay-mcmryIWTCALLR1TH1vWemPn_pTOybKAfWHImfXxjppHPotH7qJtlwOVokp-yLpT1oDkfrMauXV9Kq30ACKWU3iPcDxXx2hyphenhyphenl5uF/s400/schoolism_assignment6_150.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Before going on to doing finishing work on the painting, I went back and worked on my alla prima painting using tips from Ryan Wood in my video critique: <br />
<br />
Here you can see I am using the airbrush to both blur and lighten up the foreground background (does that make sense?) in blue tones to tie in with the cool colors in the eyes: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-AwqiSR7J76HagfGwgUq0pxnrAMosuxvusZBDUuduqkPhBibXclWGhuT84b9nE3su_a7-xUFfm-iUaDa_KsuzgPtLieqV0VGBu-CjWg038-5tbqTOQV_YASSMOpF8EL7flPjaqbkY1wH/s1600/schoolism_ass9_tues2-27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-AwqiSR7J76HagfGwgUq0pxnrAMosuxvusZBDUuduqkPhBibXclWGhuT84b9nE3su_a7-xUFfm-iUaDa_KsuzgPtLieqV0VGBu-CjWg038-5tbqTOQV_YASSMOpF8EL7flPjaqbkY1wH/s400/schoolism_ass9_tues2-27.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Here I'm using the airbrush to put in more saturated colour in the transition areas to shadow, using my colour reference as a guide (I realized that my alla prima was quite desaturated and pale):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFd-Es8_lBdmsw3LFMkTzVN2jXUyF6Y01Ts8imFs-2TyfOfdvGqAtO86KpKD-Lp-BbVKpMBAP3LhKunVeZ2H6P-BLoj4MYtGZDQXkzDksneUOcNOlOl0byHEC-kGsT0gRlg4SHpwXnTXnG/s1600/schoolism_ass9_tues2-28.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFd-Es8_lBdmsw3LFMkTzVN2jXUyF6Y01Ts8imFs-2TyfOfdvGqAtO86KpKD-Lp-BbVKpMBAP3LhKunVeZ2H6P-BLoj4MYtGZDQXkzDksneUOcNOlOl0byHEC-kGsT0gRlg4SHpwXnTXnG/s400/schoolism_ass9_tues2-28.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Adding in very dark red shadows beneath the cow's body armour to make her shape more rounded:<br />
<br />

At this point I pretty much finished the revisions on the alla prima: <br />

And decided to jump into the instructions on Assignment 9. First thing was opening up our rather detailed Assignment 3 black and white image, making a copy of the image, and pasting it into our new work window for assignment 9:<br />
<br />

Then we were to change this new b&w layer into the kind of overlay we felt best worked. Here are my trials: <br />
"soft light" overlay:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeb-NUv_IxrHjEAWYPovrwWD7qDKv1Ddk6Nla-0uDTu76T7TUm0GhCwiSamG9Ui3gNMsE5255-Ws3OYIUxK5R7WAUBYjYkX1fgVUCQlVuTPfUgT2_ZWzxo7tLnxKMFQO96Pr6waXwV1ntu/s1600/schoolism_ass9_wed1-16b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeb-NUv_IxrHjEAWYPovrwWD7qDKv1Ddk6Nla-0uDTu76T7TUm0GhCwiSamG9Ui3gNMsE5255-Ws3OYIUxK5R7WAUBYjYkX1fgVUCQlVuTPfUgT2_ZWzxo7tLnxKMFQO96Pr6waXwV1ntu/s400/schoolism_ass9_wed1-16b.jpg" /></a></div><br />
"hard light" overlay: (way too dark!)<br />
<br />

"Normal" layer type dialed down to 47% opacity (I dialed down to where I could best see my colour canvas without losing the b&w overlay details):<br />

I decided what I liked the best was the "hard light" layer type, and set it at 34% opacity:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhfrfoP2VtOYFIfMsIaH63mi3jMmEcTzC4w0AhQYtTC3iImvGi8JVi7akQsjW6fLzTJLINN4S895zpxXKt-xGuN7_YowfjfV3IHEK-6djHGdFBMD7bsvQhycICFoPbOm5Fzz_QUNf4WtV/s1600/schoolism_ass9_wed1-21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhfrfoP2VtOYFIfMsIaH63mi3jMmEcTzC4w0AhQYtTC3iImvGi8JVi7akQsjW6fLzTJLINN4S895zpxXKt-xGuN7_YowfjfV3IHEK-6djHGdFBMD7bsvQhycICFoPbOm5Fzz_QUNf4WtV/s400/schoolism_ass9_wed1-21.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Next I copied my alla prima canvas layer and copied it into my document, but left it closed, just to keep as a reference of my original colour work, as I worked on the canvas. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EHCSuwfS9HpEL-whklZ-z5LGLlIFxkHA7CqkT6hPFjoUqAZXMTWvIf3Dvmzvo3e1-zuFymnH8DOk4j4PMGySB-5j-D0cNH7RrQQtjOPe-I5l24w9lmRB80NORBrDP0pz2YSwMkU14NZm/s1600/schoolism_ass9_wed1-21b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EHCSuwfS9HpEL-whklZ-z5LGLlIFxkHA7CqkT6hPFjoUqAZXMTWvIf3Dvmzvo3e1-zuFymnH8DOk4j4PMGySB-5j-D0cNH7RrQQtjOPe-I5l24w9lmRB80NORBrDP0pz2YSwMkU14NZm/s400/schoolism_ass9_wed1-21b.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Here I've added another empty layer to work on.<br />
<br />

Here I am erasing out the color painting on the metal tail on the canvas layer, so i can keep the more detailed drawing on the black and white tail and color it in:<br />

Here I am using the lasso tool to copy all the detailed drawing in the hip/skirt/tail area in the black and white assignment 3 drawing, that I never painted in in any detail in the alla prima assignment 6:<br />

I actually had all sorts of issues collapsing the grouped items: some went opaque, some disappeared, it seems that when you have different types of overlays, differing levels of transparency, in layers in a group, some wonky thing happens where upon collapsing one of the adjustments (ie 100% transparency, default type layer) will override all the others. Big problem. To undo I ended up closing the document and reopening. Here you can see I lost my color overlay:<br />

For now I'll just upload a few of the images: the black and white original drawing from Lesson 3, the alla prima colour painting from Lesson 6, some reference material, a few steps along the way and several versions of the final work. I'll try to find time to upload the step by step in the next few days.<br />
<br />
Here's the black and white image from Lesson 3:<br />

The prof, Ryan Wood, put in foreground elements on another layer in the tutorial, and I thought I would put in brambles at the front (he had cables in front of a robot), so here is my bramble reference:<br />
<br />

Unfortunately there are a lot of things I like about earlier versions: I prefer the day 3 painting to day 4, as I feel that the brambles, though framing the character, tie her in, and arrest her forward movement of escape. I also feel that when the front of the image was basically empty, 1) there was a nice transition of just "washy" in front of the cow, which she stood out against, to the more detailed darker behind her and 2) the more detail behind her draws our eye to where her eye is looking, and lends a feeling of dread to what may be coming. This feeling is lost when I added the brambles into the foreground.<br />
<br />
I also feel I lost some of the richness of the body armour having put in glowing highlights on it, and a bit of definition of the cow's eye with the "glow" brush, and feel that in the black and white version, the eyelid overshadowed the eye more on the left side, instead of being uniform along the top of her eye like in the final version. <br />
<br />
Finally, we were to do a canvas texture overlay to "unify" the surface and give texture. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKdT-HVPIFKfQNbSoppeZBcr7pNUDM9juUdWAHxJc8Vb2JbO1aiiG0PCk6Ip47DFFfbZMbavrkwbMR77vUoK2M5BjVs9fNOYjLrCkwbS3EDmO8LjBUTUBqfji62NAKkS7BsmY6FI2qOtLs/s1600/schoolism_assignment9_canvasover_72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKdT-HVPIFKfQNbSoppeZBcr7pNUDM9juUdWAHxJc8Vb2JbO1aiiG0PCk6Ip47DFFfbZMbavrkwbMR77vUoK2M5BjVs9fNOYjLrCkwbS3EDmO8LjBUTUBqfji62NAKkS7BsmY6FI2qOtLs/s400/schoolism_assignment9_canvasover_72.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Personally I dislike it, and erased it out about 50% here and there. I feel it looks kind of cheap, like when they print out an old master on a canvas instead of a piece of paper... you can tell the canvas has absolutely nothing to do with the original painting... it was just kind of "glued on" there in a (bad?) attempt to add "authenticity". I also feel that the canvas overlay lightened the lighting of my final painting a bit esp in the sky. Though that may have been more apparent in a 300 dpi Painter riff than in a 72 dpi jpeg image on a blog.<br />
<br />
All in all, a very interesting and fun experience.<br />
<br />
Here's the final (non-canvas-textured) assignment:<br />

I looked online for ideas of how others had painted Saint Bernards. I didn't really riff off of any of them, finally, though I decided to keep my colors fairly natural. The chicken at the bottom right is my instructor's final painting for this lesson's tutorial.<br />

And finally, this is the Jacques-Louis David painting of Napoleon crossing the St Bernard Pass (of course!) that I decided to use for a color palette inspiration:<br />
<br />

I got rid of the initial "god through the clouds" sky background of the painting, reworked the kong and its cord, and also redid the left back foot (right side of painting) of the doggy at a different angle (suggestion of my teacher, Ryan Wood):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOCLcsQA4NwHATf-1bZ_9sAAeJRZUCdyG6pVrNVkxhZqQP1j0yP9saef-l2uUGoxnn4_20Yrt238V-WrURj4dDQnzE1pEJ8U2kyIS-yGPFw0r4huzvh3PkHSqcVHeAPstWR57MAOjLfPr6/s1600/schoolism_assign8_gretchenwings_finishgrey_72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOCLcsQA4NwHATf-1bZ_9sAAeJRZUCdyG6pVrNVkxhZqQP1j0yP9saef-l2uUGoxnn4_20Yrt238V-WrURj4dDQnzE1pEJ8U2kyIS-yGPFw0r4huzvh3PkHSqcVHeAPstWR57MAOjLfPr6/s400/schoolism_assign8_gretchenwings_finishgrey_72.jpg" /></a></div><br />
This is what the painting had advanced to at the end of my first day of revising the b&w painting, and coloring (mostly blocking in with airbrush):<br />
<br />

Here is what it looks like as my final submission for Assignment 8, at the end of day 3 of coloring:<br />
(hopefully if you click on it you can get a larger version and see all the textured pastel in it)<br />

Keeping my initial b&w drawing on my workspace, as well as my color reference, I make a new document in Painter, 512 x 512 pixels large:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64r3iY6SLFhmeeUkIjSJD5t6yQwj5j9YoWyY01FrjUVZUc-COBEhaV68Y8jhxd7-J1B64h2Z_8GeBmkcQDUAbXkZc2A9ZAp95rgItmQNLEZYSzYV4ezqd8XlEiEnbSstXzklkTHgqaNht/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj64r3iY6SLFhmeeUkIjSJD5t6yQwj5j9YoWyY01FrjUVZUc-COBEhaV68Y8jhxd7-J1B64h2Z_8GeBmkcQDUAbXkZc2A9ZAp95rgItmQNLEZYSzYV4ezqd8XlEiEnbSstXzklkTHgqaNht/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I use the rectangular select tool to make first a large rectangle within the new document, and then delete out long thin rectangles out of the center (horizontal and vertical) to leave four separate smaller rectangles about the dimensions of my b&w image.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMzG6eCVfqOjylHAxyhcniZz5QiSUOW3OIv4ylmyQuG1IgWkQR5h0jzKzahaUVbhhtc3y84i3d19dbWKc8McWb4r2f5B-lAorMbrERiql03VFXvBOx9d5IS2oukTc4keRus_1FSEoK4fIm/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMzG6eCVfqOjylHAxyhcniZz5QiSUOW3OIv4ylmyQuG1IgWkQR5h0jzKzahaUVbhhtc3y84i3d19dbWKc8McWb4r2f5B-lAorMbrERiql03VFXvBOx9d5IS2oukTc4keRus_1FSEoK4fIm/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Leaving the rectangular selections active, I start to color in color samples, roughly approximating my shapes in my final drawing. Here I am looking at the colors in the yellowish painting, just to the right of my work document: Pyle's "Marooned" painting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsWexdHeFNMMFN1Q7XKT8H1ZHKzHAqf97FcCTMH_lmd-hYc9mkvPxwHBRrPpDq2QKoOm6rDeA2AfSPntT9i_Ob5K-aXknvXxC2W6hPw-t9HqwM55RmTGVB6q-_x8kbHvg10yrzKhT0Qam/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdsWexdHeFNMMFN1Q7XKT8H1ZHKzHAqf97FcCTMH_lmd-hYc9mkvPxwHBRrPpDq2QKoOm6rDeA2AfSPntT9i_Ob5K-aXknvXxC2W6hPw-t9HqwM55RmTGVB6q-_x8kbHvg10yrzKhT0Qam/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I continue to try out another color set, here using the blue sky, the golden skintones and red heater color of James Wyeth's "Cat Bates of Monhegan" painting, just to the lower right of my work space.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBIrr_SStb3OQ9XzetuMjfRSDyE7NMCnfl5Gaax3VqvQz_l4tXBFvgnKukmrtBrkl6xbPyx8uW7KuxZ9eOu0iEDlc2xzDHkfXYU3AlBPRiQMjE1Z5eMaOd03y8fYxsUdaR6K5NpXGmukP/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBIrr_SStb3OQ9XzetuMjfRSDyE7NMCnfl5Gaax3VqvQz_l4tXBFvgnKukmrtBrkl6xbPyx8uW7KuxZ9eOu0iEDlc2xzDHkfXYU3AlBPRiQMjE1Z5eMaOd03y8fYxsUdaR6K5NpXGmukP/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep4.jpg" /></a></div><br />
My third color trial swatch is the muted greyish greens of Howard Pyle's "The Fight on Lexington Common". I block in the background first.<br />

Here I am working on the fourth color trial swatch, using the blues, greys, yellowish whites of NC Wyeth's "Island of Earraid":<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi68aCx_6FVmXZgBNFVX8XY7FORZPPEvv84H6_L2adZhmN3EWmRG9wd-i2qzu4g59vQcKjRBwzWbN0nqlXx3LyLGgklNfFAUW3H2jz4unpHRJaw2aXa1QWCw66A4bxSeWMETS_EtupVNF7L/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi68aCx_6FVmXZgBNFVX8XY7FORZPPEvv84H6_L2adZhmN3EWmRG9wd-i2qzu4g59vQcKjRBwzWbN0nqlXx3LyLGgklNfFAUW3H2jz4unpHRJaw2aXa1QWCw66A4bxSeWMETS_EtupVNF7L/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep7.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Here I've blocked in the cow as well. Unfortunately I don't really have the dark silhouetted object that makes the Island of Earraid so appealing, so I decided to go forth and do a fifth trial swatch by adding on to the canvas size at the bottom of my swatches:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhNVNZGLLq9BwslDTykFRWQegUWmBHYFgDwRDctXpvo_biwr34KKrI14FBcH2sIy6OrQwPXnBQU_-WwK__xgzl4lr_VMN4GdT6cpJZvv34uAIJo2VTEZD1xLyShQpfXij-9bY13b56CVs/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhNVNZGLLq9BwslDTykFRWQegUWmBHYFgDwRDctXpvo_biwr34KKrI14FBcH2sIy6OrQwPXnBQU_-WwK__xgzl4lr_VMN4GdT6cpJZvv34uAIJo2VTEZD1xLyShQpfXij-9bY13b56CVs/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep8.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Here you can see the fifth trial swatch, using the colors from Andrew Wyeth's "Jack be Nimble" painting:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQ8_7o_3pqZ04MHT8MN3hARzWaFrtBB548lyfi8SatgpQdlekN-O_ARNKAVMatwGMvAJromZq8xHvrNmCjzBO085X6iRhN1Xd2PbjYJas4V_SwFIPzXVj3n1BZ_YHn4UaZjfMqvqmkfzH/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipQ8_7o_3pqZ04MHT8MN3hARzWaFrtBB548lyfi8SatgpQdlekN-O_ARNKAVMatwGMvAJromZq8xHvrNmCjzBO085X6iRhN1Xd2PbjYJas4V_SwFIPzXVj3n1BZ_YHn4UaZjfMqvqmkfzH/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep9.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I was happiest with this color scheme with it's dark background, brooding feeling (to go with the scared cow), and the uniform but interesting colors of the stacked pumpkin shapes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5rD2dPZ6xn8drdzZLgRX3Wko3X4CJa_ZFCLz1fb11AwM7TLPOcGn6MJWafO2P07cWpg8zR1dSAlcDZ6coRLXMgkZ5Z0rVZxNwNW8xvaPy2mdFfZoTdfZ2VnlJ4VRKcYS93vCXYGrzu_u/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5rD2dPZ6xn8drdzZLgRX3Wko3X4CJa_ZFCLz1fb11AwM7TLPOcGn6MJWafO2P07cWpg8zR1dSAlcDZ6coRLXMgkZ5Z0rVZxNwNW8xvaPy2mdFfZoTdfZ2VnlJ4VRKcYS93vCXYGrzu_u/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep10.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Now I start working on my actual painting. I opened the .rif file of my Assignment 3 "shiny object" painting in b&w and added a midtone grey layer on top of it, which I lowered the opacity on, to see my underlying canvas: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFu4a6YdANFN9RCJSsaa27WonPfe2ntUvLlBqVhZWWhPIWhMO6HltQVq-qdVqhDuQWZLnD8BylDpo07CijFSuCcMau4ETRXOJ9Z3SuznEOhrx4IpJtyEg15ELXqxM2oanqUjfh-Byp5qqS/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFu4a6YdANFN9RCJSsaa27WonPfe2ntUvLlBqVhZWWhPIWhMO6HltQVq-qdVqhDuQWZLnD8BylDpo07CijFSuCcMau4ETRXOJ9Z3SuznEOhrx4IpJtyEg15ELXqxM2oanqUjfh-Byp5qqS/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep12.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Over this I put a new layer on which I traced the basic shapes of my cow with the bamboo pen in a dark mid grey: <br />
<br />

I flattened the layers:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3aTQfV4v-QBwiRdlpO1-WuQezTF1ktsSyqORrwRYT5RC7sI7CLCG71SGDbx_q2kiuXwagdTSwdOp2P_ojoUeyq1VJor_KvJbEJej-D-WcEL88zD7HxaBAncRHV0e4jJlVvok8S_2tQAtj/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3aTQfV4v-QBwiRdlpO1-WuQezTF1ktsSyqORrwRYT5RC7sI7CLCG71SGDbx_q2kiuXwagdTSwdOp2P_ojoUeyq1VJor_KvJbEJej-D-WcEL88zD7HxaBAncRHV0e4jJlVvok8S_2tQAtj/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep15.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Then I selected my favorite color trial swatch, copied and pasted it onto my canvas:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4c-z7helFmz7RYLwoIOXlOybv7iBzJ2OC9ggSlNBcsGKN2d71Z6zvZIQFsN4Yrp9_gv2nAud3bB7qHmNDou1egf-c9q0tMXHSTSun_ZHaDjJPsbBhm7ipM7cOUiPT8-tNFgnz0sfc6p3L/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4c-z7helFmz7RYLwoIOXlOybv7iBzJ2OC9ggSlNBcsGKN2d71Z6zvZIQFsN4Yrp9_gv2nAud3bB7qHmNDou1egf-c9q0tMXHSTSun_ZHaDjJPsbBhm7ipM7cOUiPT8-tNFgnz0sfc6p3L/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep16.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I used the transform-scale function to make my color trial swatch the size of my canvas:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QUqUCR2UJHSE_xgJ2ea_fIN4IleAcfKZ1mZ8Dj1CctQTMOK83Y7pQpmdr9ppQI8w7QIpz_-3D-nTQfrIAPlKPhsrVhw4mhROHRE6EMDKUcNujyAaJ7tSatU83aodg5D-FAg2h97yU8l7/s1600/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5QUqUCR2UJHSE_xgJ2ea_fIN4IleAcfKZ1mZ8Dj1CctQTMOK83Y7pQpmdr9ppQI8w7QIpz_-3D-nTQfrIAPlKPhsrVhw4mhROHRE6EMDKUcNujyAaJ7tSatU83aodg5D-FAg2h97yU8l7/s400/schoolism_ass6_stepbystep17.jpg" /></a></div><br />

And reduced my work size so I had my original b&w drawing, the original Wyeth painting, and my color swatches, all laid out for reference alongside my active work canvas:<br />

Here I've started using my prof Ryan Wood's custom "washabrusha" painting brush to paint in the background colors and starting the cow. Just choosing the colors on the color circle at the upper right, and painting directly onto the canvas.<br />

More colors painted in. Trying to get that dark background, the glowing yellows of the light areas of the pumpkins, and the saturated reds in the transition to shadow areas.<br />

I realized I was losing my shapes quite a lot, so repeated the "grey layer, then draw the outlines on an overlying transparent layer" on my b&w painting, so I could copy and paste the line layer over my color painting. You can see I messed up and ended up drawing my outlines on my grey layer instead of my overlying transparent layer. Oops! So I had to use the magic wand tool to select my dark outline, instead of simply copying and pasting the transparent/outline layer. Oops!<br />

Using the lines to help me "fix" the color painted shapes. You can esp see the shape of the lower jaw, which had gotten too large: I repainted the sky to cover over the excessively large lower jaw.<br />

My prof, Ryan Wood, uses the "Dirty Marker" Felt Pen brush a lot to get a variation of color. Here I have used it mostly in the sky (where it is more "dirty" and dark, behind the cow's back thigh, over her back, in the upper left hand corner) and a bit on the cow's ribcage (where it is more orange now). I find it gets really dark really fast and don't like it much. Don't know how to manipulate it to my liking:<br />

One thing I liked about the Wyeth painting is the scumbled textures in the sky and on the pumpkins, so I tried using the "Soft Pastel" brush to add that sort of dark scumbling to the armour: <br />
<br />

Tried using the "Smeary Bristles" distortion on the sky and the pastel on the armour to get more texture variation with more or less success: <br />
<br />

Tried using the "Washabrusha" brush to add darker blue and more saturated blue on different spots on the milk droplets, as my prof had done in the tutorial on his robot's eyes (my cow's eyes didn't seem to lend themselves as well to such glowing):<br />

I decided I really didn't like all the attention on the glowing milk droplets, so used a very large dark reddish "Digital Airbrush" brush to go over them, and the areas of the cow I wanted to recede more into the background, to bring focus on the more defined head:<br />

thanks for following along!

I chose this image from the book "<a href="http://leannefranson.com/innovels/tortuedesbois.html" target="blank2">Jason et la tortue des bois</a>", published this year by Soulières Éditeur.<br />
<br />
You can click on any of the images and they should open larger in another window to see the actual details of what I was working on, and the Painter settings.<br />
<br />
First I opened the digitally inked drawing I had already done with the Croquil Pen in Painter:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJXVjCs1YAn8wVEuJaGjBJAqcPNs2vhG4_ZFCYQgy0mBYc1OhPF1RBN7-7yCNUtbt2qeh60ie12dUgyJDJfbP6k6NaBnurSbV81Fm8bd8PGNrRkBy8Fh7tEY_6OG6eKVKIbwEKuzwwGLq/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJJXVjCs1YAn8wVEuJaGjBJAqcPNs2vhG4_ZFCYQgy0mBYc1OhPF1RBN7-7yCNUtbt2qeh60ie12dUgyJDJfbP6k6NaBnurSbV81Fm8bd8PGNrRkBy8Fh7tEY_6OG6eKVKIbwEKuzwwGLq/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step01.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Again I selected using Select-Auto select- Image Luminance, which selected all the lines, copied and pasted, which made them into a new layer on a transparent background:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9FXsfaGHOQ6fkrmYLylNeyInNHbj-TRzFTS7xVRelpNRphxYy_X8UGrb3Qwmm67tVOHdnIm7uIcKYzWbYhHArDXNQRp9R1uJ8GHJDO50HfEK8I5-UCc5jAB-P_oUBaWZ0SFdHsQ3EzAos/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9FXsfaGHOQ6fkrmYLylNeyInNHbj-TRzFTS7xVRelpNRphxYy_X8UGrb3Qwmm67tVOHdnIm7uIcKYzWbYhHArDXNQRp9R1uJ8GHJDO50HfEK8I5-UCc5jAB-P_oUBaWZ0SFdHsQ3EzAos/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step02.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I then "filled" the lines with the "current colour": I chose a dark blue:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilv6Ly4DbvFmv8ASbDiTkEOru5EmJFwrBdSpCWpcRDagWIS0N8KjE-bq_-g1keSebqcnAaEkjI2va8sE_vEPNh5xb1fqVDA2mwtNEdWcrGVq_P4TyLk2hdVG1fk_6_Jpy6DyYsxi8Woo29/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilv6Ly4DbvFmv8ASbDiTkEOru5EmJFwrBdSpCWpcRDagWIS0N8KjE-bq_-g1keSebqcnAaEkjI2va8sE_vEPNh5xb1fqVDA2mwtNEdWcrGVq_P4TyLk2hdVG1fk_6_Jpy6DyYsxi8Woo29/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step03.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I added in another layer between the background and the lines layer, which I filled with a mid grey tone:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIg7h2sTUNwcG4UKr4X9h19KutaxEz-84MIOduZMAu7aYx2DPsTQRRbbtTLjKEi9iQRtVKz12c5aumw6su0XHuKhUsmW-vYthVrBATlp3eDX6r_stsJWl5dh1H0Z4P7B3HP6Az5Sjh0GhM/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIg7h2sTUNwcG4UKr4X9h19KutaxEz-84MIOduZMAu7aYx2DPsTQRRbbtTLjKEi9iQRtVKz12c5aumw6su0XHuKhUsmW-vYthVrBATlp3eDX6r_stsJWl5dh1H0Z4P7B3HP6Az5Sjh0GhM/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step05.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And then I again began coloring in the lines on the line layer with an Airbrush brush, colors similar to what I anticipated coloring in the shapes:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRHgnoxi-l9Es86_rqlUqhvk-Nxi_oSTKyHwFqiDtR-v4VfFHvIOkLJOrrFO091vaZQLadYkH1r-mcHcS7_J5SUWDjQBd1nCmslcPgqiH18D7h6yZmF9WKJn0fo10M9Px3MgIXKBCrdlC1/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRHgnoxi-l9Es86_rqlUqhvk-Nxi_oSTKyHwFqiDtR-v4VfFHvIOkLJOrrFO091vaZQLadYkH1r-mcHcS7_J5SUWDjQBd1nCmslcPgqiH18D7h6yZmF9WKJn0fo10M9Px3MgIXKBCrdlC1/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step06.jpg" /></a></div><br />

Then, as in the previous doggy version of Assignment 5, I made Shapes using the automatic tool to trace around each separate part. This created a separate vector shape on its own layer for each part, ie turtle stomach, turtle head, turtle shell, turtle left back leg, turtle right back leg, turtle left front leg... etc. I filled them with a light grey (no stroke outline).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilgN_Fqir0Vt1Q95gCRQ07-pNfdXYfmq3wOlXBkGwK1fy4oI-8xC4ewMuukVqxClG-cHyqIzpqJdJvk17Uf-Rm7WdrW1KC6ObAoWnLCM369vOYYtNAZE6LwsjKPk4n2skgai8A74tQuUAk/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilgN_Fqir0Vt1Q95gCRQ07-pNfdXYfmq3wOlXBkGwK1fy4oI-8xC4ewMuukVqxClG-cHyqIzpqJdJvk17Uf-Rm7WdrW1KC6ObAoWnLCM369vOYYtNAZE6LwsjKPk4n2skgai8A74tQuUAk/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step09.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzvEvKQHKcdbJMtjP-u5j9a8vw0TwqRmUk3o5SKGJgD7QyKpGsMHy0QN-lQm9456HRWW0aqxRf2VNmPGTwIO_lHAz5UpS-6ZfQmyLSjHlJnh2Jrr2Nsll9460iOjLryUB8YIfJ-wTrNM3/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzvEvKQHKcdbJMtjP-u5j9a8vw0TwqRmUk3o5SKGJgD7QyKpGsMHy0QN-lQm9456HRWW0aqxRf2VNmPGTwIO_lHAz5UpS-6ZfQmyLSjHlJnh2Jrr2Nsll9460iOjLryUB8YIfJ-wTrNM3/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step10.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I then went through and committed all the shapes to a layer each, so they were no longer vectors, and began filling them with a sepia gradient again ("spherical" from a highlight in the center to darker towards the outside):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNI-waXkm3Wt61C4mvtagjG_MJNT52gdoZkvw1w1uIPdqS484HsxpHu8Dvz1z9NIC40w803QScQ0FnZHLs2cV3vQqs9VI6d0iI1IHJnExQNXoU6icWl0WeAlYqJLeOW2-mp60nedJt9_B/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNI-waXkm3Wt61C4mvtagjG_MJNT52gdoZkvw1w1uIPdqS484HsxpHu8Dvz1z9NIC40w803QScQ0FnZHLs2cV3vQqs9VI6d0iI1IHJnExQNXoU6icWl0WeAlYqJLeOW2-mp60nedJt9_B/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step11.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I started to have so many shape layers that I grouped all the "boy" parts into a group, and all the "turtle" parts into a group to organize myself:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZT0YZeWVOj0RXPevq6yTUfmYvq6bH_8LtMjcfvD9vdAflmPVmax9fSWb2SFeaHgV-K9w9GdTKB6scSGefM8X096n0cV-8CJ2vq2FJOYbM3HtyDYtR-So85hPdOhyz8UiwJx8SJFaEzN4/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZT0YZeWVOj0RXPevq6yTUfmYvq6bH_8LtMjcfvD9vdAflmPVmax9fSWb2SFeaHgV-K9w9GdTKB6scSGefM8X096n0cV-8CJ2vq2FJOYbM3HtyDYtR-So85hPdOhyz8UiwJx8SJFaEzN4/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step12.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I moved around the shape layers to get the right overlap, ie you can see previously the toadstool the boy is sitting on overlaps his butt, and I put it beneath, so he appears to be sitting on it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm7S4ucd4kereT5hpxOUCIPOqhqMiu5BjRx3h8L7uAeZGMw3FtAGIJCL4O2ZN6uSuB0JWbsvxQDwMj05Pi36DeenA6ILAnGONgyaLzItppEt20qFzzu2Kmn3Wx0nHmeTjH_PPXPUZuzVBM/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm7S4ucd4kereT5hpxOUCIPOqhqMiu5BjRx3h8L7uAeZGMw3FtAGIJCL4O2ZN6uSuB0JWbsvxQDwMj05Pi36DeenA6ILAnGONgyaLzItppEt20qFzzu2Kmn3Wx0nHmeTjH_PPXPUZuzVBM/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step16.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Then I started to go into the shapes with the airbrush and eyedropper, to round out the forms of the objects: putting in shadows along edges, highlights etc, so the shapes didn't just have the round sepia gradient:<br />

I started using the eyedroppered sepia tones to draw in details and texture a bit:<br />

Once I was happy with the monochromatic shapes, I started airbrushing colors in on another layer at 10% opacity, onto each shape:<br />
<br />

At this point I wanted to start working on the background. I was actually looking for a texture of plants to make "forest" around my characters, and found these reference images of photos I had taken at the botanical gardens:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC6cAQIG-L4aNrI9a23rmBVSNxYanLfuZqFDPo89AA81BE7DjTaPSCKAp_poUp6myxzeQ8zHeQcmBTqMxDHplwgsNZkWlZFX6qeYtwAj3td9whXxzOfIGPKMr0Z-hE694rWvvTZ86qFiJC/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_backgroundphoto1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="400" width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC6cAQIG-L4aNrI9a23rmBVSNxYanLfuZqFDPo89AA81BE7DjTaPSCKAp_poUp6myxzeQ8zHeQcmBTqMxDHplwgsNZkWlZFX6qeYtwAj3td9whXxzOfIGPKMr0Z-hE694rWvvTZ86qFiJC/s400/schoolism_ass5b_backgroundphoto1.jpg" /></a></div><br />

I basically just copied them onto my workspace, flipping the one on the left, and cutting and pasting bits to fill in the whole background in a very rudimentary manner:<br />
<br />

I grouped the photos altogether and collapsed them:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3vM-Y2g3EL6dn_pZGBdRLRactTMHe7Lww-wSO-ogk3_pjfsgDa21ZOW52fcD73kG04ry9XIQl8aq4h0cLFfWyOWikgvv117PXu-agGHHuP_jh6T9UxVO-2rvnIsh9zifUvMVY9P5uZXAi/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3vM-Y2g3EL6dn_pZGBdRLRactTMHe7Lww-wSO-ogk3_pjfsgDa21ZOW52fcD73kG04ry9XIQl8aq4h0cLFfWyOWikgvv117PXu-agGHHuP_jh6T9UxVO-2rvnIsh9zifUvMVY9P5uZXAi/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step27.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And then went back and kept on coloring in the object shapes with airbrush:<br />
<br />

I took out reference for the wood turtle. It is the only reference I actually used for the objects and characters:<br />

When I was pretty much happy with the turtle, I collapsed his group into one layer, and then the boy group as well:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDMyg9TFVcy3QWgQM9ZaiGH_Z4QZTfb3YjnCAElBtLEoa7Ruvhs9POVyFhM1vDDqcZ4i6_vsmmCQ6lB8VpBBJOAkDzrHzg6II9U9VVfOFNW4qP9JN2okj2_Yr4PHjg4_P3q-7o2QdT5rr/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step34.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDMyg9TFVcy3QWgQM9ZaiGH_Z4QZTfb3YjnCAElBtLEoa7Ruvhs9POVyFhM1vDDqcZ4i6_vsmmCQ6lB8VpBBJOAkDzrHzg6II9U9VVfOFNW4qP9JN2okj2_Yr4PHjg4_P3q-7o2QdT5rr/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step34.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I also chose all of the non-turtle, non-boy elements and collapsed them together:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNTgqf06aNfc3x1E3ame2ZptHwLF1utjcpFqHOSv9dXnTVGUGKMXm0H5xk3BQAy4v0_RY32qrvNKnZpegbMMs2sen2iV7lzvTmmbcC6X1Mm0HmLfpnYOkA1jD4AeEV22KaTX-FErEulIGQ/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNTgqf06aNfc3x1E3ame2ZptHwLF1utjcpFqHOSv9dXnTVGUGKMXm0H5xk3BQAy4v0_RY32qrvNKnZpegbMMs2sen2iV7lzvTmmbcC6X1Mm0HmLfpnYOkA1jD4AeEV22KaTX-FErEulIGQ/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step35.jpg" /></a></div><br />
So I had a boy layer, a turtle layer, and a few other object layers, and collapsed all the painted elements:<br />
<br />

This gave me a line layer, a colored objects layer, the background photo layer, the grey layer and the original drawing (background):<br />
<br />

I wanted to play around with the photo background layer so I copied and paste it so I had an extra layer of it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3jHvdg1a-UlWJPWT6tpJqMCo7DNq7AMATB1hq7a-_ycwnt7TmFMbcA1OiKfhyphenhyphenMDcKZstvyTjsC-Ftr-D_wFlml-fap81fI8Ac1qPG0f6a0RJio_50idXOHrj66luprQTfnuTdVTkjjp0/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ3jHvdg1a-UlWJPWT6tpJqMCo7DNq7AMATB1hq7a-_ycwnt7TmFMbcA1OiKfhyphenhyphenMDcKZstvyTjsC-Ftr-D_wFlml-fap81fI8Ac1qPG0f6a0RJio_50idXOHrj66luprQTfnuTdVTkjjp0/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step38.jpg" /></a></div><br />
But then I realized that I had a lot of overspray on my painted shapes (I have no idea what I had clicked or unclicked that sometimes when I painted shapes like a strawberry or leaf, that ONLY the shape colored with the airbrush, cleanly, and other times it sprayed beyond the shape onto the "transparent" background. So I closed the photo layer to erase all the excess overspray with an eraser:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxE0avYRhj6cZgdMBZ33Km8_RrjIPfloCQuf-09q5gcljcTIfmqD4SolpNjaNMKrm35LrFOpvo4EkLJ_3-MuqewCzG28-xJ-vV3fZXBgWLaRTl1ZJhh8lPdZ7rleDl5j3bKVMBZM84hOr/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHxE0avYRhj6cZgdMBZ33Km8_RrjIPfloCQuf-09q5gcljcTIfmqD4SolpNjaNMKrm35LrFOpvo4EkLJ_3-MuqewCzG28-xJ-vV3fZXBgWLaRTl1ZJhh8lPdZ7rleDl5j3bKVMBZM84hOr/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step39.jpg" /></a></div><br />
It was all cleaned up but I realized that there were things like the boy's chin and strawberry tops, the turtle's tail etc that had been missed when I made the shapes and thus weren't colored in. I selected the shapes I wanted with the lasso tool and airbrushed them in:<br />

Once all those little details like strawberry tops, the caterpillar's eyes, wee rocks etc were colored in, I went back in to adjust the colors of the lines in certain spots:<br />

Once I was satisfied pretty much with both my coloring layer and my colored line layer, I reopened the photo background layer (one of the two) and went into the "adjust color" and turned the saturation down to remove all color and leave it greytone and turned it into an overlay layer:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicdUXOC1tkWIQWRuSb4Vvi7rq07MeYEaVpEYCRyEGY4IW_hlXBlKWTAb445sun4MwUlKZZY_M1wHv6y6mWzX0E8AytlpZgEImekvk_z8trNZ0GtIK9tEH4g7Tc79W4L0Mc-ar6oTybqsEw/s1600/schoolism_ass5b_step49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em" target="blank1"><img border="0" height="300" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicdUXOC1tkWIQWRuSb4Vvi7rq07MeYEaVpEYCRyEGY4IW_hlXBlKWTAb445sun4MwUlKZZY_M1wHv6y6mWzX0E8AytlpZgEImekvk_z8trNZ0GtIK9tEH4g7Tc79W4L0Mc-ar6oTybqsEw/s400/schoolism_ass5b_step49.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Then I added another layer beneath it, and started to airbrush colors in:<br />

When I was pretty happy with the colors, I collapsed the greytone photo and the airbrush color, and went in with a Ryanbrush Sable Chisel Tip Water brush which has apparent brushstrokes, to get rid of unwanted texture in the photo and turn it into just painted color, esp near the ground, and with less opacity, in spots of the leaves in the background:<br />

Near the end, I went in with a Soft Pastel brush to color in the boy's hair which just looked to airbrushy, and mixing in with his face too much:<br />

At the end I saved it in Painter, in psd format, and reopened it in Photoshop. To my surprise the colors all dulled down and became quite chalky. I really have idea why and am quite unhappy with that.<br />

Here's a comparison of the photoshop version, and a 72dpi screenshot of the Painter riff version: You can see how much duller the psd version is. I wish I knew what to do, as one cannot really export riff files, one needs to turn them into psd or jpg etc in order to work on them outside Painter or share them:<br />

So, in the end, I leave you with the cropped screenshot of the final Painter riff drawing:<br />

Not my best work, but interesting, and much better than that screaming orange and red doggy in the previous post! We'll see what the teacher has to say about it. And if anyone has any ideas why the colors changed so drastically on the psd version, do let me know! And also any tips on using those little handles to "round out" vector shapes... I seem to get the shape how I want on one side of the point, and then on the opposite side of the teetertotter handle, it does wonky things. So if you know how to do that I'd like to hear from you too!<br />

And as always, any comments or questions are very welcome and desired! Thanks so much! Til next time!Leanne Fransonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06318369440363696129noreply@blogger.com0
