Start with a simple outlining of the major shapes, the ones that need to appear separated in order to see the illusion of space. Adjust their positions as needed to correct any unfortunate convergences.
Block in the first layer for all the shapes before moving on to the second, unless the scene requires more than one layer to be applied while the first one is still wet.
Try to tell the whole story in 4 layers, or fewer.
It is difficult to get anyone to post a comment on this blog. I'll try to come up with something very controversial to see if I can provoke a response...
ReplyDeleteTom, is it your intent to have people upload a photo of their work? Ask questions? Or share their experiences? I only did the OSA workshop with you and am not in your regular class, but I do follow what you post.
ReplyDeleteI also love your blog and would enjoy seeing your students results
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see what people come up with, and to hear your thoughts about the exercises and the topics.
