Hello! I'm a self taught artist who wants to get better at shading/lighting and backgrounds especially. But whenever I try to do a background study, I can't break it down and it ends up looking terrible. Do you know of anything that would help?
Hi! I would like to talk a little bit of the thought process behind photo study and the importance of simplicity.
It is really important to break down an image to chunks of value rather than seeing the detail first, which can lead to over-complicated mush of colors with no constructed value.
These are some of the artists that inspired me to get used to breaking down images in the most simplest way possible:
Notice how super simple and straight-on-point his thumbs are? And this is how his colorscript for Moana looks like:
Zero detail. Yet you have all the information you need!
I personally think these thumb studies are super important to train your eyes to break down an image in values and colors and therefore be able to organize and design your painting better.
You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.
remember when paul, sebastian, anthony and chris were on jimmy kimmel and jimmy was like “wait, what do u mean there was a lot of lube?” and seb goes “well i mean i gotta get in there…right.” and then the four of them just
and summed themselves up perfectly? seb’s just instant regret, chris is like “seb that’s gonna be on the internet forever”, mackie’s like ayyyy that’s my boy right there, and paul is questioning how he ended up with these people

conceptually, this dude is essentially 3 characters in one (can morph into tank, dps, and support) each represented by a unique animal spirit, and had to have a recognizable base form consistent throughout each new form. throw in a card playing mechanic, and things got very technical on all sides of production.😅
