I talk a bit about the main homework for the week.
Assignment Overview
This week, your assignment involves working on three images. These images are selected for their complexity, involving color, transparency, refraction, reflections, and a variety of subtle details. Unlike simpler objects like a rubber ball, these images feature more complex shapes and require a keen eye for detail.
Task Breakdown
- Start "CubeAndSphere"
- Proceed to "SimpleShapes03c"
- Conclude with "WeirdShapes"
Additional Resources
- Photoshop File: For "CubeAndSphere" & "WeirdShapes", you'll be provided with a Photoshop file. This file contains several layers designed to assist in your painting process:
- A layer of the original painting.
- A white layer to help isolate specific elements.
- A line guide layer. This is particularly important as it overlays the original images with traced forms, ensuring that your shapes are accurate. This allows you to concentrate on mastering color and light without worrying about the correctness of your shapes.
Objective
The primary goal of this assignment is to develop your skills in handling complex images involving transparent objects and detailed reflections. By using the provided Photoshop file and focusing on the guided layers, you should be able to approach these challenges with greater confidence and focus on the artistic aspects of color and light.
Good luck, and I look forward to seeing your completed assignments!
