somehow, midterms encroached upon me without notice. i worked for 14 hours on my color and design midterm project today. i'm really pleased with the turnout so far, although i am not completely done. i took step-by-step photos 'cus i'm a huge nerd like that.
this is a self-portrait color study we did. basically, we have to create different values of color using only 2 complementary colors. a few weeks ago, we had to bring in a bunch of different self-portaits, then we had to pick one and do two roughs: one with cool lighting, the other with warm lighting. we had a critique in class, and no one could guess what colors i used (brilliant yellow and ultramarine). everyone agreed the warm lighting look best, so here it goes:
( step by step, day by day... )it's so annoying to stare at a photo of yourself for that long, lemme tell ya! i also noticed after i cleaned out my paint pallette that i did a crappy job of painting the darkest color, so i need to re-mix/fix that.
I NEED YOUR OPINION. see that line under my bottom lip? does it look okay? my teacher said i needed to make my lips pop more.. but i wasn't sure how. and every time i look at it, all i can think is CHOLAAAAA (a female mexican 'gangster'). should i keep it, or fix that as well?
