This week in my online class I did a little better than before (4 out of 5). I spent a bit more time tightening things up and grouping the values though I could have pushed for more extreme colors. The assignment was to pull out five different emotions from a sketch and as I reached for more extreme palettes I had a hard time connecting to it emotionally. That said I’ll still make sure to provide more variety in the future instead of leaving things mostly cool hued. This marks an exciting point in my artistic career because I feel like I have the tools to breathe life into my old zany whimsical projects that my artistic skills couldn’t quite produce before. I’ve decided to group a number of my past ideas into one super fantastic epic adventure called “Paper Bag Boy!!!! (this version is way better than the previous takes with no exclamation marks).” I’ll use the rest of this online class to flesh out ideas for this project. Well that’s it..toodles.
