the collar was done that way intentionally

and even if the dip in the nose is in actuality there, I'd take it out for the sake of the picture.

... not that i took you seriously before, but now?

ahaha.

Dude, uh....have you never been told by an art teacher to change something from the photo for the sake of a picture? Up the contrast, deepen the shadow, change the local color of something, etc?

If you haven't, that'd explain a lot of your art weaknesses. Art isn't always about just replicating exactly whats in front of you. You have to make changes to work things into a 2d picture plane, to make the piece flow well and create balance and harmony. This is all shit you should have covered in basic 2-d design, art 1 type classes. Shit, it's stuff you should have covered in an advanced high school art class.

The darkness right there ruins the way your eye travels through the piece and breaks up the flow of things, especially in his face. It breaks up the nice play of shadows you have going on, and the contrasts.

But uh, please, go ahead and make replica's, keep chruning them out. Lessen any future competition.

And you may have done it that way intentionally. Doesn't stop it from looking bad. If everything in your painting is done in a realistic style, and suddenly you throw up something in decorative style, it disrupts the flow of the piece. And that kinda of disruption doesn't look good there, as it's a VERY realistic style piece.

you are repeating things your teachers say without actually understanding them at all.

please keep doing it, it's fucking hilarious.

Bwa ha. How funny.

If that's what you think, at least I was paying enough attention to parrot it back, where as you, apparently, were sleeping in class. Or seem unable to apply them in any real situation where the most interesting aspect of your piece isn't already given to you by someone who came along before.

Your mad skills of copying a movie promotional piece really do over whelm.

KEEP GOING GUYS THIS IS GREAT A+++ MADE MY DARK BRITISH MORNING SUNNY

Alas, if it was morning here you might have many hours, but I'm, at least, out of here for the time being....

baww ;_; bb come back later ok??

I'll try my hardest, I PROMISE~

♥

inorite! i didn't change a goddamn thing from this picture (http://drworm.net/ratpr0n/willard11.jpg)!

god, you are such a hack >:( andy warhol shames you

oh wait...

OH EM GEE YOU TOOK OUT THE RAT AND MADE IT RED.

I'm am wowed! WOWED AND AMAZED I TELL YOU.

You make me lol that you compare yourself to Warhol. Copying a picture=/=bein Warhol.

Oh, and the issue with your eyes is you have FAR too much whites, and it's way to light if you compare the lighter tones in his face to the lighter tones in yours. Because of how deep set his eyes are, the whites almost become a medium tone.

AND MADE IT RED.

which is fairly difficult to do and do passably well

maybe i made the eye too white to make it POP

DIRTY POP

...why in the world would change that be difficult? Monocromatic is one of the easiest color schemes, probably easier then natural color.

And by probably, I mean greatly.

It's why most the times when they're teaching you value you work in monochromatic.

Well, that it did.

it is the simplest color scheme, besides greyscale, however that doesn't mean that it's easier. unlike merely reproducing the natural colors, you have to put thought into choosing not only value but the level of saturation. so you're translating complex natural colors into something more basic, colorwise.

there's actually almost no white at all in that painting; the highlights are mostly fully saturated red.

Ok, I still fail to see the hardcore difficulty in that.

Natural skin tones are much more difficult to reproduce because the human eye is so use to them, it knows pretty instantly if their off. Like you said, you're making it more basic. And something like a triadic would be much harder to make look pleasing, then a simple monochromatic scheme.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE monochromatic schemes, but they're also very forgiving and easy to work with.

Dude. I have to say.

As a person I am obviously not all too fond of you. XD

But that picture, on your DA, where you turned it red?

Amazing.

I've always admired people would could take a picture and do it in a different shade, or even color it as it was using the computer or paint or whatever. I try my damnedest and it never comes out quite right, so, I totally salute you, because your finished product is awesome.

.. "Would could"?

I mean "who could." Sorry.

Excuse the 3am typing errors.

Aw, why thank you. And I do mean that sincerely, because it really is nice to hear and it means a lot.

I like doing monochromatic stuff when I can, but it can be pretty difficult... admittedly it's easier with a photograph and doing it on the computer than trying to work from a live model with paints or whatever, but yeah.

I have a real love/hate relationship with realism, though; there are some people who can reproduce what they see with just amazing accuracy, and I've just never been one of them. I just practiced a lot.

But yeah, seriously, it's really nice to hear that you liked it. :)
