Java's Studies of Art! [Looking For Collabs!]

Inspired by Muddies scribbles I decided to make a studies board. In hopes of getting better! Or maybe not.

This Forum won't just always have ponies. But it'll get there. For some reason I can art, just not art ponies. Yet anyways...

Discovering Color, and looking for Style

So first one up... this one was my first work with digital painting... took only thirty minutes. Really it's a study, I was trying to see how colors mixed in photoshop, as well as what kind of brush I wanted to use. This one used a blocky chalk brush, and had no underpainting. Given that most of my traditional artwork used Pastels... I was pretty familiar with the brush.

Another study. However in complete. It's an apple. If you can't figure that out, then I HAVE FAILED THEE! I was a bit looser in this one, and kinda was thinking about how I wanted to start painting later things. This one used a black and white underpainting. No real blacks or whites. Basic round brush.

These are really impressive actually. The shading is very very good and I knew the bottom picture was an apple instantly. The little white dots are a great touch too. Don't sell yourself short, so far these look great. :)

I can never get close to that! XDD

The method isn't to hard. It does take a little bit of time if you didn't have any traditional art background.

Thank you :D though the apple isn't finished yet. I'll work on it when I have time after completing my summer class home work.

Update on the apple Study. I had a little fun with it, and got carried away. Note. I can't tell what it looks like on other people's monitors. I have two different monitors. One that sort of looks correct to me, and one that tends to calibrate warm.

I'm back at it! Got a little better I think.

Looking at it now... I noticed that there is a huge problem with contrast. It's to dark, and doesn't have enough light pulling it in. Not to mention it's lacking atmospheric back light. Oh well...

Did learn a few new tricks however. And my strange work process...

Solids I tend to start with a dark tone of my base (shadows) as the block in. And add everything on top.

Liquids I tend to start with my base. Add darkest colors, and then lights.

On a side note... I did try to lower the size of this... but apparently the forums BBCODE is not standard.

SECOND NOTE:

Anyone Looking to collab on some art? I can't draw worth a dang, but I am getting better at Digital Painting.
