Still Life Gouache Paintings

Study was done before my trip-- my mom had some really nice, weird looking paperweights and I'm so frustrated I chose that because it's not at all recognizable. Also the scan and shadows came out weird.
I'm so embarassed about the final one because I had to finish it in the weekend I came back so it was ummm a total of around 7-8 hours? The cloth was supposed to be white and lacey. So I kind of-- made it up. Pretty happy how the candle and the candle holder came out though?? One step at a time I guess /sighs

Also first time this whole year using opaque style of painting but I found if I mixed enough colour, that it wasn't so bad!! (Until I needed brown. Jesus it's hard to make variations of brown.)

Also is anyone having troubles just uploading files from your computer files or anything?? It says I can upload jpg, png and whatever else but there's no upload button or anything 8'( (Maybeit'sbecauseofIE.)

Cool and Warm Studies

Look at me trying to be all productive HAAHahaha--
Uhh 15-20 minute one layer colour sketches in Photoshop (for once). It first started with trying to make a cool looking desert but yeah-- instead of cheating and playing with multiply and overlay and other effects I actually colour picked everything by hand which was a first for me! Definitely gotta work on it, but baby steps!
Funny how I'm not even using these ones for the final painting HA H A H  A  ....

Layout Shots

Long shot, up shot-- up shot?? Idk anymore hahaha;; I forgot to check this on my other moniter so hopefully the colours aren't overly saturated /sighs
Had fun with thissss. Even if it's been months since I've lined and coloured this way.

More WIPs

WIP of Marine Animal Background

Doodle in Digital Tools class

Light and Shade Assignment

Wow I'm not really sure what happened to the colours /sob.

Quick renders sighs I don't really like how they turned out.

Title page WIP

This is the one I'm going with ahhh. The colours look a lot more washed out on my laptop though so-- cries.

Quick doodle during his lecture that I didn't like haha. He's literally being decoded but ehh. Was still getting used to Photoshop.

WIPs of title pages that I did in class.
I haven't used Photoshop in almost three years so it was a bit weird getting the hang of it again but it's gotten a lot nicer! I didn't like the first one (decoded one) so I restarted halfway through class and doodled the other one in maybe an hour and a half..?
I'll probably finish this whenever I have spare time 'cuz I FINALLY got the CS6 suite on my laptop yayyy.

Digital paint experiment

Quick blocked in painting while I was on the phone with this credit card activator guy HAHA;; I wanted to play with colour and the lighting because Florian had give me some really nice tips but I don't think the twilight lighting really came out. Took about an hour and a half? I really don't know how I'll even try to replicate this much in gouache.

Tone Thumbnails

Tone thumbnails for painting. I have such difficulty simplifying things. I went with the first one though-- and sorry for the abrupt spam haha. I only have a few more to post.

Pencil Thumbnails

First page of thumbnails for painting class.

Second page of thumbnails where I actually realized we had to use FG, MG and BG. I don't have Photoshop yet so I regretfully can't make it any darker. Sorry! Some are setting ideas for a potential plot idea I had, but it's still heavily in the works.
