Concepts:
- Mapping light and dark
- Refining the dark side and adjusting the light side
- Try different methods and workflows.
Observations:
- I discovered I really like markers (Faber-Castell PITT Artist pens) and prefer using them over pencils for value studies.
- I learned to look for and notice the value and color differences between shade and cast shadows.
- I did extensive testing to determine the values of the PITT pens and how to mix and blend them to get additional values and colors.
- I was surprised to see that my color perception and mixing is pretty good. There was very little difference between the two Lucca watercolor sketches - one where I applied local color first and then shadows and the other where I applied shadow color first and then local color. The order of application didn't seem to matter much.
- My angles and proportions are getting better the more i draw, but it still takes me a long time to draw accurately (upwards of an hour).
To-Do:
Continue to study color theory and practice color mixing.
Continue to practice analyzing building structure and design.
Try Neocolor II on location instead of watercolors or markers.
Revisit all the course materials and concepts.
