Sisley, this is a terrific example of optical blending. Although it looks like you didn't use the grid approach, you did manage to get a similar effect. My favorite part is the softness of the edges around the hair as it meets the background. The only thing that bothers me is the hard edges above the eyes and under the nose. It's always so tempting to make the features sharp and distinct, but the challenge is to see if you can suggest those features without falling back into realism. If you look closely at the Seurat paintings, you'll notice that the features are just as soft as everything else. Also, there seems to bit a bit of a black outline where the hair on the forehead ends. Outlines are exactly what you don't want in a drawing like this. Nice job overall.
What an enchanting piece, Sisley! It definitely manages to create the illusion of optical blending. Although the piece lacks the organization of a grid, it isn't overwhelming and has nice cohesion. I think it is a little heavy on the warm tones, I'd love to see more green and blues, especially on the right side. Great work!
The dots are perfectly fit with optical blending, and this piece is amazing. But, I would love to see more changes in your work, since we had already done the dots in classwork.
the dots are just so amazing. the blend so well and im in lobe with how to colors go from a blue tone to a more red tone. this piece was done every well
Such a detailed piece, Sisley! I love the use of dots that you've so meticulously added so that they all blend to form one image. I agree with Taney in that it looks like there's an outline where the hair on the forehead ends, but you can easily change it by going back in and adding a few more shapes. Awesome job!
Your color is amazing, I really like your use of blue, purple and red. I have never thought to use dots to create optical blending drawings, this just fascinating to watch.

ReplyDeleteI think your work is very charming, I think there can be more blue and green on the right side of the picture.
