This is my bike helmet. It protects my noggin’ from damage when/if I fall off my bike.
I think I missed the mark in terms of conveying the three-dimensional form. I know one mistake I made was introducing a second blue paint which was darker, but not representative of the shadow of the first blue. Then I tried to tone it down a bit by glazing over with orange, but it must have had too much yellow because it turned my blue to green. Also, my shadows are not anywhere near dark enough — too much water, I suppose.
Probably a bit too ambitious for me. Anyway, something to try again later, once I get a better handle on the paints.
Thinking back to the conversations I’ve read about forcing you to see the object, instead of what your mind telling you what you should expect to see…. I like the “blue-mishap.” It actually gives the helmet a blue metallic quality. Almost as if there’s something of a dark color, blue-ish in nature that’s being reflected off the surface of the helmet. At least, that’s what I thought when I first saw the picture.
You’ve got a new fan!!! I’ve recently been following Blade’s posts, and now I’ll be following yours too! I love art, but when I draw (rare), nobody can make out what it is! hahaha
Keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing your progress in the future.
