Artist's Comments

Tada~

This is the last studio piece I'll ever do for high school 0_0! I'm pretty pleased with it. Now I just need to go and finish the visual diary! >_<. I might tweak the arm a bit because it still looks stiff so I'll resubmit this if I do (i.e. if I have the time...) but, for now, here it is! DA even gets to see it before my markers do. What do you think?

Taking the picture for this was really annoying- I had to use the perspective tool on photoshop to get it right and change the contrast etc- but just to make it look more like the original. The photo's still grainy though -_-. Anyway,

self portrait using acrylic on canvas.

BEAUUUUTIFU3 Of course I had to comment :D Damn I envy your painting ability. I really like the colours and how your hair highlights also have colour in it. Very pretty. Eyecandy much.

Heheh, yeah one of our saturday workshop tutors this year was always saying "don't use white for highlights!" and another was saying how it makes things recede because it looks cool, so I try not to now.

Not angry with DA anymore! 23 views on my painting (last time it was about 8 and I fumed... as turtlepip had more than it. I mean wtf?)

*Chanting* I must improve my art. I must improve my art. I must improve my art...

How do you define white highlights? Do you mean white and shades of grey? Or do mostly desaturated colours (pale yellow etc) count as white as well?

(Yay, sometimes effort can win out against randomness =D)
