Bojangles Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hmmmm...I like where you're going with all of it, but I think you're still looking for yourself with it. Great colors, good technique, but they're sort of all over the place. The one factor that seems to tie them in is the "blast beams" in most of them. I'd work off of that subtle idea and build around it. For example: I have a friend who paints monsters and what not, and in most of his painting appears these little "egg workers" doing things. They sort of make a series and develop a sense of continuation and...uh, something else I can't think of right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffie crave 7 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 thanks Bojangles my work to me seems flat and im trying to somewhat build layers but havent gotten there yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I like the flat look actually. I'm moving that way myself with some new shapes and layers in my abstracts. Nothing wrong with that, unless that's now what you want in your work I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisetuxedo Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 the flat look is definately working for what your doing, if you want them too look layered adding a subtle shadow to the edge where things overlap it would help out a bit but i say work with what you already have, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Personally, I like the blue house piece the best out of all of that you posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindle Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 a lot of those are really good and i like them. if you want to try something different try some more rough textures like that picture quoted above ^ that turned out dope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciste Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I like the direction youre going in, however its a tough one to pull off. I would look into vintage day of the dead designs to get the sugar skulls down. On a technical level, I would try to work on cleaning up the lines just a bit. Make the lines pin point and I think you'll find your style. Keep it up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port-A-John Enthusiest Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I agree, you definately havea good foothold. Just do alot of sketching and things and you'll start to develop. I dont think people ever stop to develop..so just keep at it. Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tookthetime Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 i'm feelin all the paintings after the first 3 . It could evolve alot more though,I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 In all honesty, I say do some drugs or get shitfaced...blast some music and get loose. Take your ideas and paint them without giving a fuck, once or twice. Maybe give yourself a one hour timeline on one piece. Scribble outside the lines a lil'. Leave a few blank spots. What's to lose?

What's to lose? thanks everyone for all your opinions and advice i really do appreciate all the feedback my work starts off with an idea in my head and then it evolves during the processes i try to stay as clean as i can. with the bottom examples in my first post above you can see that im try to get messy/sloppy but using slops of paint but still trying to have a balance of clean. couldn't sleep one night this one is a stright free style on left over foam board. this one was done on found board in my old apartment complex. this calibration piece is old and long gone but one of my favs this day Antique Indian stool fully paint this photo was taken when it was in progress Stool finished This has nothing to do with anything but i thought id share all my left over paint i glob on this girl statue i should really be saveing my left over paint but it will be cool to see where this thing gose in a few months maby ill start sticking broken glass or sometihng to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
