Now if you've been keeping up with my posts over the last few weeks, you'll know that I have been working on a masterpiece parodying a famous work of art called Girl with a Pearl Earring. Each week I have worked a little bit more on the masterpiece to show you guys the progression of my art as I work toward the end result. Now that we're all caught up, let's see what we have now!
As always, here is the original for reference:
So last week we left off with a bit of rough shading and smoothing to give the piece a bit more shape and an illusion of 3D-ness, leaving us here:
Now, I was pretty happy with how it looked at this point. However, I began to realize that the colours are far lighter than the original, and was still lacking form because there wasn't any significant shadowing happening. So, this week I played around with the airbrush and the smudge tool to really create more of a dramatic contrast between light and dark, thereby creating more depth.
I still have to finish adding shadows to most of the headpiece, but I did a lot with the body and dress this week which I am happy about! Over the next week I might try and tackle some shading throughout the rest of the piece.
That's all for now, folks. Stay tuned for next week!
This is gonna look awesome when it’s done. I mean it already does look awesome but stillXD
