This is the final. I used a reference photo of my grandpa for this picture. I used mainly the chalk tool in painter.

  3. I enjoy the colors you used a lot! Very sunset-y! I think his expression is a bit stiff, but it actually doesn't look out of place. It works. I wish you could pull in some of those golden tones into the background because even though I love the treatment of the man, he feels very separate from the background.

  4. The colors you're bringing into this- especially the blues/purples you're using as shadows, work together really nicely. I feel like you could've added a bit more depth to the face, perhaps bringing in the blue/purple shadows you've used everywhere else?

  6. I think the way you played with colors on him work so well. The purples and yellows work beautifully together. The bubblegum pink background kinda throws me off a bit though, maybe some kind of blue or green would work a bit better. I think this piece would really benefit from having the contrast bumped up a bit, giving it a bit more depth.

  7. Haha wow this would have really fooled me! This looks like it was really done in chalk pastel. I love the colors, working with light and shadow more might help make this man really come to life!

  9. I like your interpretation of using all hot colors for him - i think the use of the light yellow on the brim of his hat , and the shiens in his glasses are really nice, along with the way that the light hits the collar of his shirt and his shoulders. Nice job! I could also see you adding a bit of light into the brow a little bit more, or maybe the apples of his cheeks! One thing I think you've done really well, too - is bringing in the color troughout the whole piece - like - I can see where you've added a nice amount of purple into the shadows. I could see you even getting daring with it under the brim of the hat, too - or maybe under his chin on the right hand side, almost liek the light gets cooler in places of extreme shadows!
