While my awesome classmates from FZD are having their final presentations and their last day at school, I am slowly working my way through assignments for Nathan Fowkes's classes. This week on Designing with Colour and Light we had to create a composition and rework it several times with different colour\lighting scenarios. Even though I already see some mistakes that I hope Nathan can help me correct (as well as find more mistakes), I am quite happy with how this turned out.
For Pictorial Composition class we needed to create 10 different compositions with simple bold value statements. I'm trying not to let my perfectionism prevent me from trying something new. I noticed, as I struggle, I tend to reuse the same principles over and over again, and focus too much on technical side of things, rather than on the overall read. Note to self: a good exercise would be to try make quick compositions with simple abstract shapes, without reference to any real life objects, and do more master studies.
Now to the second part of the post with more words and no pictures. There is this Russian art community called Virink, and now, for the second time, they are starting an initiative of daily challenges. For a small fee, every day for an entire year Virink team is going to be sending subscribed members a brief, which may be a short story, a sentence or a couple of words, according to which you need to make a drawing\painting\whatever you feel like, and post it in the daily challenge thread on their website. I haven't used their services yet, but I feel like it's a great idea, so I decided to subscribe!
