Hey Grei!
Sorry it’s taken me few days to sit down for a proper reply. I think it’s totally valid to recognize the busy backround and that how you see it more like a sketch affects the final thing. Still, I think editing the photo has made the reference a lot more painterly and the outcome very interesting. If you made a more refined painting based on this I’d say paying more attention to edge control would benefit the painting a lot! Also on the proportions, you are correct. If you wanted to keep your nephews age the same, I suggest looking into Kim Jung Gi’s or Tom Fox’s tutorials for stylized perspectives! But this is not nesessary, just a thought on a different kind of practice if it might interest you.
What I could speak a bit more on, is the palette you’ve chosen. Colorful palettes are very fun, but sometimes they might loose convinsingness if many colors get very saturated or almost pastelly. I find this happens easier when mixing them digitally. The boots are obviously meant to stand out and the affect works. But it feels like the pinks and green/blues are little too far from each other to create a working illusion of space. A solution could be to limit yourself even less, just have 2-4 brushes between the pink and greens and finding more variation between them. A bit more complicated option would be opening up the palette even more and adding few grounding tones = more earthy, muted warms and browns. This would help this the bubblegumminess. Anyway great job! There are no right answers for this, just trial and error! Let me know if this resonates at all with how you see the painting : )
@lukjanovaanetta Hi, thanks Anetta, it took me a while to reply as well... busy hot days these days. I agree with the points you're touching here. Specially the ones referred to color. I think I have a tendency to over saturate all areas of the painting, therefore loosing depth. it's something I have to keep an eye on. After I posted the last image, I painted it a bit more.. specially the tones in the background which I felt were a bit messy. I'll post it again just for the record and then calling it over for now. I think the next step would be jumping from the sketch to a more refined thing. Maybe I'll do it one of these days. Thanks again. Cheers!
