>>5805530>Your values are all over the place with zero consistency. lol I appreciate that you can highlight that the values are fucky on the obviously fucky goofaround painting that was turned into an extra paint depository. Saved it and everything to say “look how wet that water is.”
>You have dark values that are lighter than light values and vice-versa, aiding your non-realistic flat look. Yeah and? That was apparent without needing to do the b&w maymay. And tbphwyf the b&w is actually pretty fine, porticularly for a 2/3rds done painting made from frankensteined colors from other paintings.
>You also have huge non-sensical value jumps in places. Yes because it was one of like 5 paintings in rotation for a few days and it was the throwaway pallet cleanser to dump on between paintings that I was more excited about.
>Look at the lips when they turn form. It goes from a moderate value to an extremely dark value immediately.Almost like there’s no highlight layer on em!
>That doesn't make sense. Yes it does. You stack colors and tones over time. When it looks like it’s going from dark to moderate with no highlights and detailing, it’s because it’s half done!
>Your teeth are painted as if they are highly reflective objects. Pretty sure those teeth aren’t actually painted. Looks like they are tho. If so that’s one of like 10 paintings I’ve done where the teeth weren’t left unbrushed. Generally try to keep some exposed canvas on every painting, typically through the teeth as much as possible.
>And the excessive highlights on the hair make it look like the person has literal grease in their hairA: again you’re looking at a half finished layering process.
B: That painting doed have literal grease all over it. That greasy look is mostly from paint thinner and retarder sludge that pools in the pallet that I took and smeared all over what was previously an ok looking normal painting. Pic related is another one I greased up.
