The Donut hand I actually started over winter vacation, but did not actually finish until recently. I really like texture and because my concentration is focused around food and people, specifically women and pastries, I thought about doing something like this. I was intending to do something like the sistine by Michelangelo where god almost touches man. I dont think that that completely came across in this painting, but that is what i was trying to do.
For this one I wanted to actually use a face in an attempt to display greed in some way. and i did not know how to exaclty display that so i decided to start with a face in the center flowing from a hand. the face is to show all of the greed that people feel for certain items, such as donuts.there is a light in the background to highlight the greed and to show the darkness, but the darkness is still surrounded by light.

theres some nice value in the hand in the first one, but it needs something more to make it jump out. it feels too 1 dimensional. maybe incorporate more of the lines from the donut somewhere else. its also too centered which makes it not as exciting
ReplyDeletefor the second one also. push some more values and the lines
I really like the texture in both these pieces. and the shift in colors and the shadows of the background in the second one are nice. However i feel like they both can be added to and made that much more whole and connected to you concentration. i like the movement of the bottom one and the space. basically i feel like they both need more but are a really great start. Great Job !! :)
