Serge WIP 3

Sorry that I haven't updated in a few days. It's the rush of the holiday season- you know the deal. I ran over my toe with a loaded milk flatbed, I'm running low on money and I still haven't gotten everybody their presents! I sure love the holidays. Actually, I really do:)

Serge update. I'm starting to get an idea of where I'm going with the color palette and the design of his clothes. My color palette will stay closer to the brown/red/neutral family. This painterly style is different for me but I like it- I like it a lot! My style tends to be meticulous and mostly finished but this is loosening me up. When I was painting, I thought about my painting instructor in college and how he told me things like "build up the shapes", "don't play it safe" and "paint wet into wet"(although this last one doesn't apply in digital painting, I'd compare it to the amount of opacity and flow). Opacity and Flow are terms from Photoshop and they are adjustments, like in real painting, it's referring to the amount of paint. I'm really getting into painting Serge, and all the while enjoying the discovery process.
