Quick light & color study
Playing with mood and color, inspired by Pinterest Reference

Antes de dibujar, ordeno los colores.
Es una forma de respirar: elegir el tono que abrirá la página,
el que sostendrá la luz, el que guardará la sombra.

Quick break from the BillFord event this week to share some of my old traditional studies pieces.
@shiningknight117 and I were chatting in the comments of my last post about the lighting/coloring I’ve been playing with recently. I haven’t been drawing digital for all that long so I am still learning the software. Anyways, gradient maps are what I learned this week! And they do remind me an awful lot of the studies I was doing previously.
All of these were done in 2021 - 2022. Right after this, I fell into a horrible art block until around April 2024.
I checked my files/notes and sadly I do not have the references saved for the vast majority of these. All of these except 2 are based on various models / gel photographs. One I shot the reference myself and one was created from my imagination.
Mostly mixed medium of: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and color pencil – all, mix of a few or just one.

tones with a pepper
masza
This study focuses on the use of color and light through the representation of a bell pepper. The composition emphasizes the varying hues of red, orange, and green, exploring the interaction of light and shadow on the smooth, glossy surface of the pepper. Special attention is given to the subtle transitions between color gradients, such as the warmer tones at the top of the pepper, and the cooler, shadowed areas near the stem. The reflective quality of the surface is captured, demonstrating how highlights contribute to the depth and three-dimensionality of the object. This piece serves as an exploration of the nuances of color saturation, value contrast, and the visual effect of natural lighting on organic forms.

I’ve been slowly getting better with environmental and color studies. Studying hasn’t become as difficult now that I’m doing it more, tbh. .

Finally got around to finishing these little colour studies last weekend, my excuse to revisit BCS a year after the finale 😢 I refuse to get over it
Turns out acrylic works pretty great as a sketchbook medium! The colours stay so vivid and there’s almost no warping, so I’ll continue experimenting adding lil pops of paint here and there
