Hey Ty,
Nice holiday piece.. great sense of design... u look like you're enjoying the cardboard painting... do you paint on cardboard because of the surface, or do you treat it like a toned canvas.. nice piece, happy holidays... t
He's like the cool dude Rudolph! I like it! I like the repeated shapes of his eye, nose and tips of the antlers. Good job.
Thanks for the comments... I didn't even realize I was repeating shapes there. That's cool. I should have repeated it in the ear shape. The sky area is supposed to gradiate down from blue/white to light yellow.
I like working on cardboard....though not all cardboard is created equal. It does work well for me as a toned canvas. I like showing parts of it through the painting. That's also the color I tone my canvas when I'm working with oils. I'd like to go back to leaving more of it exposed like with the self-portrait but I've been experimenting with painting in acrylics, which is something I'm not that comfortable with yet, and that has sort of been taking over. And because cardboard is free, I feel more comfortable with trying things out...maybe fresh illustration board psyches me out...I don't know....it's a mental game for me, I think.
Nice one Tyler. I know what you mean about white brand new illustration board, (although i just ordered 10 sheets from Blick). I find that wood and other surfaces get me to loosen up a little.
Really like the stylization though, and the color palette. Looks "cold"
great design, really fresh and fun to look at. did u flesh the design out on paper first or go straight for it? i know you said that cardboard being free lets u experiment more, wondered if it helps to just dive in. good stuff.
Yeah, I worked it out a bit first in my sketchbook and on tracing paper....pretty hastily, though. It probably could have used more attention.
