Description When you sleep in the morning and wake in the evening, you tend to find that having a beanie or balaclava to fall over your eyes is very handy to fend off that pesky light that steams in around your blinds. If you have this on and open your eyes many shapes appear light and dark blobs, forms, this is an appropriation of one instance of shapes I saw.

'If nature was an imitation of man then you would find rivers rush into tunnels, and congregate with other rivers before they find the sea.'

6:42am, now I sleep.

The water is just wonderful. How do you do it? I have to learn how to paint realistic ocean/water!!

Skipyau In reply to kkolompar [2010-05-16 03:54:36 +0000 UTC]

Just have to pick a colour for the water, tint it for submerged objects and learn the patterns of white water to paint.

Thanks!
I kinda feel like I should have added more interesting details to little bits of it though...

kkolompar In reply to Skipyau [2010-05-12 14:04:25 +0000 UTC]

well, you still can. What were you thinking about? I believe that details can make alot of difference and its important in an image. Like good lightning or just a little thing that brightens up the image.

Skipyau In reply to kkolompar [2010-05-14 21:51:49 +0000 UTC]

Maybe make some parts more or less vivid, or just add more to it, like little rocks and debris, so it's less vague.

I have the same issue. My images tend to be to vague. I would like to create something more unified. Im working on a mystic/mage right now. But as I said, i have to work hard on shapes and feed my imagination alot.

Practice is salvation.

Try making several images that are linked to each other thematically.
