I finally came up with an idea! My final concept is the virtruvian man with a hip hair-do, glasses, and a thoughtfully placed fig leaf. I seem to be obsessed with that ring, so the circle around the virtruvian adam will be the ring he proposed with. It seemed like a good idea at first. But now I am having doubts. I really want a dominant red. But, I also want that aged look the original virtruvian man has. But I just can't seem to find a decent combination of the two! it seems to keep looking....odd? I also want a sketchy feel. But, it seems it'd be easier to just throw out the aged look and make everything uber simplistic with super clean lines and make the whole thing straight white on red...or red on white. But something is telling me I will be able to create something really interesting with the red and aged combination. So. I will keep experimenting!
I will try to post pictures soon! ^__^;
Try using a darker red for the outline of your sketches. If I'm not mistaken, there are lots of sketched lines on the Virtruvian Man. Make the lines very fine with a hand-drawn look (kinda messy). You could even add some ink blots.
ReplyDeleteI like the ring idea a lot.
OMG! YES. I totally decided on a darker red! ^__^ works soo much better! I can't believe how frustrated I was getting and all i need was just a darker red! o.O and I think I may go with the ink blots too! I got a deep red watercolor pencil so that should be fun to work with! And Adam, yeah totally! I'm thinking I can make the sketch and then add some nice defined lines here and there! Thank you guys for the suggestions! ^___^
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome, and I thank you for your suggestions as well. I redrew the petals. They look so much better.
ReplyDeleteMelody just imagining your poster sounds very good and with your great abilities I am sure it will look great. It will be very nice to see some pictures to get a better idea of what you visualize in your imagination.: )
