Painter Portraits - Sherri Taray
It's pretty obvious who my portraits are of, I would hope. I've been really interested in morphing the styles of cartoon characters recently, so I thought this assignment would be really fun to try that out. The first pic is more practice than anything, but I kind of like how it turned out more than the final one I made. Oh, and I used soft pastels.

This is GREAT! I love the different values in Ash's skin. It feels very realistic. I would like to see you smooth out the textures on Pikachu a little (so it matches more with Ash).
ReplyDeletegreat build of color and value. that process seemed to pay off really well in the end
ReplyDeleteI really like how you're using the dry media, it seems really natural - do you usually work with dry materials? Like pastels? It seems natural to you! I like how you're using the texture of the paper in the background on the picture of Misty- it looks nice where the background color hits the edges of the green "glow". I also like that yor'e adding in some of the blue green to her face - it's sort of a reflection of light coming from her green background. In your Ash and Pikachuy piece, I love seeing the introduction of purple/blue on his hat and the lighter colors inside the shines of his hair. Ther eis something really nice about the color on his cheeks in the in-progress shot - where he has soert of a roundness? Did it get blown out when you went to final? I love seeing it and if there was a way to bring it back, that would be fantastic! I think it would also be great to see hwo pikachu would look if you brought a little bit of light blue back into him - almost as if the light behind him (the blue) was reflecting on to his fur. I think you would do this easily, and kind of treat it how you did the rest of the shadows, just add it in a couple places. I really do like the softness of the in-progress shot where it's just on the light blue - the colors are a little more subdued, but it's nice to see how you get the greens and blues showing up!
ReplyDeleteWHOOOOOOA SHERRI. This is very nice. I like the glare in the eyes and I also enjoy that the background helps focus most of ones attention on the character. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, I never watched the show Pokemon but if the cartoons all looked like this I would be addicted to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I like your very rendered out version of pikachu and ash. The colors work great over all and the background helps them stand out. Very Nice.
