Description I recently commissioned , and will soon be sending her up the money via post (as she has no online paypal or bank account. Also it's a huge bother to change currency, why is that?).
She's been a long long time watcher of my works, and also a very avid and thoughtful commenter. Early in my DA days I drew these for her and meant to finish them, but never had a proper concept of what the image should be.
[Walk in the park]
[Sara's Stroll] So Over the past fortnight I've been working slowly on this A3 scene to send up. Enjoy Sara!
And thanks for all the support

ooh, quite nifty : 3, the compasition is really nice in this piece, and the general elements are very solid.
the washed-out colours are also very nice and create a sweet atmosphere.

a due have one or two critz though, but cuz this is a special gifty, i'd wanna know if you where after critz or not first X'3

Kraden In reply to Vamore [2007-11-27 13:40:26 +0000 UTC]

I'm always happy to receive crits man

Although if it's a suggestion about the pallete or tones I had very little traditional media to work with, and only 3 shades of gray (10% cool, 10% warm, 30% cool, black, & Pencils [about 12 colors])

Vamore In reply to Kraden [2007-11-28 04:09:15 +0000 UTC]

X'D naw, in this case the washed-out pastel sorta colours looks really nice. my beef this time around X'D...is that some of the buildings look kinda like milk cartonz X'D this is something i used to do alot when i was younger ( here is a pretty good example [link] ), it's always a good idea to look up some picz of citys and stuff to get a better idea of how buildings look :3 i sueda have alot of probelms cuz i lived in a small city and did see many big buildings, how is camberra for that sorta thing can you just peak out the window?

anyhow, it's a nifty pic, and obviously alot of effort when into lt :3

In any other case, I would've just blotted out the sky with a mass of blue. Way to keep the minimalism.

dire-musaera [2007-11-26 07:51:08 +0000 UTC]

ooooh awesome scene, the perspective is perfect.

i think you should be more careful with the colouring, i imagine some of it was lost in the scanning process, which is why its important to take great care in colouring with pencils and markers. pencils especially, like with pencils you have to slowly build up even colour.

Kraden In reply to dire-musaera [2007-11-26 17:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, also my pencils kid of suck now They're old watercolor pencils and take to the paper very poorly. For instance the scanner didn't even pick up the blue pencil I used to the sky.
I'll be investing in a bunch of Prismacolor markers for good groovy strong colors.

Kraden In reply to LandingZone [2007-11-26 00:10:01 +0000 UTC]

Where do you lecture?
And yeah, the conversion plus the excess fees are a totall bother.
THanks for the compliment on color too dude, it real picture looks better as the tones weren't strong enough to be scanned properly.
