New Piece

Recently I've been working on this extremely large painting. One of the things I've been looking forward to is working on a larger scale I don't have the opportunity to paint on such a large canvas, and even if I did buy one for myself at home, they're wouldn't even be space for it in my room. I've been tackling a lot of the problems that I've been neglecting for a a while because of this new project. With my 365, I find that I rarely ever think out the pieces I'm making. The composition of the pieces is more me putting the image on the left rather than right in the middle. Most of what I make isn't made with the idea that other people would see it as a finished piece. This piece that I'm working on now is very different.

Taping out where I wanted the stairs and door was very useful.
This was the product after the first day. The great thing about the tape is that you can move it. It it's an inch too far left, I can just pick it up and move it, while if I started with charcoal, it'd have to worry about erasing the line that i had, make a new one, and then keep doing that until I got a composition I enjoyed.


After the second day of working I started to add detail with the charcoal. One of the biggest problems that I was facing was the amount of empty space. The wall and ceiling were completely empty, I put a light on the ceiling so that there could be less empty space. 

The next day, I added even more detail, and then sprayed it, and started painting.


The next day, I started painting the face. I really don't like monster right now. The colors of the clothes confused me a lot, so I just put random colors for them but I'm going to go back and rethink that aspect, and I want her face to be brighter. 

I worked on the face more today. I wanted it to be more vibrant. I also got the stairs to look more like wood. That took a while, but what I ended up doing was smudging it with a paper towel


The big thing today was making the wall interesting


Didn't have much time today, but I worked on the feet.
