I made some landscape thumbnails with gouache and then got an idea from them. This is a sketch or whatever of this idea of colossal statue thing with a city on its back. Didn't go very fancy with the day of time and colors because i had no reference and wasn't very comfortable with gouache. This is a bit bigger than I've done with gouache so it was a bit wierd.. What I'd want advice on is how would you emphasize the size of an colossal thing, other than having humans for scale etc. How to make it pop or something. Maybe more drastic "camera" angles? Second, how do you blend gouache lol 😁?

Hi, ive been having some bad time with art lately. I also got a bit of an artblock, wich i decided to fight by just painting something. So i drew some reference poses on a canvas and slapped paint on them. Ive been adding to this mess some time now. Its full of mistakes, has no composition or desing but its the result of it being an hated fetus of art block. Just wanted to show it, you could give me "critique" and perhaps suggestions what to do next. The photo is a bit bad, could not get rid of the glare. Layers of galkyd and oil make it worse than normal.

So i bought the portrait course, its good maybe different than what i had in mind. Did this graphite drawing of Olivia, too bad i messed up aligments and probably some measurements but I didnt really notice it before "shading" so its too late lol. Also lacks contrast but it was atleast a bit intentional.
