House Keeping Items: Professional Pictures- After we get back on our feet, we will need to start building portfolios again with porfessional pictures. There will be an announcement when we implement this. Professional Pictures will need to include all of the following= Backgrounds: All Professional Pictures will need to have a background that complements the picture. Backgrounds should not detract from the picture unless that is the picture's intended purpose. Color: While lineart and loose leaf shading is good for some comics and manga, it is not acceptable for these Professional Pictures. Color is really what draws the eye of viewers. Colors should be arranged appropriate for the scene and complement each other. They should not detract from the picture. Dynamic Poses: Characters shouldn't be in an any pose that is stagnant nor should they be in the same pose as the characters you drew before. Dynamic poses are poses that exagerate the motion or action to get a certain emotion across of the character. Dynamic poses should be believable and not look awkward. Compostion and Flow: The picture show lead the watchers eyes all around the picture and then direct them out to the next picture. Composition and Flow are two tools that artists use to communicate to it's viewers a story. A picture is worth a 1000 words they say, what does your picture communcate to others? These are the main concepts we will be working with when making and critiquing artwork. Please keep all of these in mind. |
