This is a piece I did my freshman year. I want to do it again - better - and I would appreciate comments on compostition, whether or not I should add color. I know the rendering needs work, but that is why I want to redo it.
perfect and very inspiring....but, i am no critic...I would not touch a thing, think colour would take away from the whole picture and the feeling it gives off, as far as changing it....not
Your first upload?...well, welcome to caedes...hope you have lotsa' fun here...your first upload is marvellous...a beautifully done sketch and I agree, I wouldn't change a thing...it would still be great if you added color but I really think it adds to the mood and weathered look the way it is...you're very talented and I'm looking forward to more from you.:Pat.
Due to the recent slow down of the site, my comments and thank you's have been few as it was very time-consuming...will catch up ASAP...meanwhile, a group thank you to all and keep up the great work everyone.
Welcome to Caedes and what a fantastic first post! I would like to see it with color also, no matter what you do it is a fine piece of work. Well done, Carrie
Welcome to Caedes. Whatever you do don't add color. Color would ruin the story behind the picture. Color makes it modern and this represents the old days where individuals worked hard to put food on the table. Even if you tried to sharpen the photo, it would degrade it. As the artist, I'd leave it alone and let others admire it. Ted
I wouldn't try and reproduce this drawing, but perhaps do something of the same subject matter. In this drawing, the sleeves look quite stiff and the wrists don't match the weathered look of the hands. Artistically, this is a very good drawing despite the technical errors.
once again, I have to say: well done! it looks good and the present colour fits to the theme of working hands. I wouldn't change it...
(was this post photographed off the original or did you scan it in?)
yeah I agree with Digital_Angel: pick a different subject but don't redo this one. The first time you draw something has it's own unquieness and that's what makes it special- and this doesn't need a double to make it better. It's already very well done. Great job!
