OK, so I'm out of classes for the timebeing which means major boredomtime, but also an oppertunity for me to work on things.
I'm going to start a new project called Redo, where I go back and recreate old pieces of mine that I think work conceptually, but are lacking in other things (anatomy, strait up skill, lines are messy, the style is outdated ect)
each piece I remake i will list the reasons why i think it could use improvement, and in the Redo I will try my hardest to make sure those requirements are met, so the new piece will always be better than the original.
I encourage other people to do this too! It's a good practice in learning to let go of old pieces that don't work anymore and finding a way to recycle them.
OK, enough rambling. The form for each piece is:
Title: (link to the original)
Original Medium: (What did you choose to draw this in? Paint, computer program, pig feces?)
Redo! Medium: (What are you using now. Was the original too ambitious or something? Pig feces can be hard to shade with.)
Objective: Why did you make the pieces to begin with?
Was the Objective reached?: Probably not or you wouldn't be redoing it.
Things that can use improvement:
-blah
-blah
-cocks
-blah
-ect
Why it deserves a redo: this one may be harder than the others to fill out after you beat up on it so much.
My current piece is
Death hue:
[link]Original medium: Photoshop elements
Redo! Medium: MS Paint (classy)
Objective: to vent frustration with my current style and the fact that the only thing I had going for me was cool colors
Was the objective reached? Yes, but later, after this piece was created.
Things that can use improvement:
-Head is oversized
-limbs are stumps
-the crop is lazy and cuts out difficult to draw parts of the body
-facial features are awkward and uneven
-after a certain point you cant even tell whats going on
-too brightly colored, it hurts to look at
-overall anatomy is horrifying
-A self portrait that doesnt really look like me
-clothes poorly cover up anatomyfail
Why it deserves a redo:
The color splatters thing was fun, the color scheme itself was cool, and the concept is interesting (supposed to be rainbow blood crimscene)
