My first cubism

[Petra Sohns]

I draw Jana with pencil
then i uploaded to my computer arranged colour and cubes
after i decided how i was happy i finished the original drawing like this

i seem to miss some depth and and and :blink:

What do you guys think please

[chardonnay]

Wow.

Is that your painting? or is it the computer image?

[emkay]

Petra, I think it needs a bit more contrast. Also, I find that the line running down from the outside of the nose down to the edge of the mouth leads me out of the page a bit. Maybe a bit more contrast around the hair edges will sort that out.

Looking forward to the next installment.... :)

Thanks,
yes it is my painting, i used the computer for the cubism effect as a ref

[Petra Sohns]

okay yes i am with you , thanks helping me, i will work on it more
Jana has very fair Hair so i should be able to get a better contrast

I think the photo is too blurry to give an opinion from (and we all know I'm no expert in clear photographs) - can you try taking another picture?

All I can say is what a genius, you are how on earth did you do that on a computer, I cannot comment as I am not sure what effect you want, looks good to me as is

If it is a reasonably accurate photograph of your painting (and I think it is) you have captured some very interesting effects. I suggest that you consider exploring this appraoch with a more portraits

I actually like the soft tones in this one Petra. It gives the portrait a warm feel to it.

Well now I know that this is actually your work and not the computers, I'm stunned :thumbup1:

It's brilliant. I can't draw a straight line to save my life, and yet you've managed to do this and then paint in tiny squares, bit's and pieces of a face.

Well done.

I find it hard to comment on the depth, because I can see that it could possible need some more, but really... it looks fine as it is. I think too that it depends upon how much depth you put into your 'normal' portraits, and how this compares to them.

Great job!

Thank you Jewels
i use photoshop `s filters mostly but there are many ways you can manipulate your original to repaint a illusionistic realistic painting , i am just learning about it all

you gave me a nice compliment , but i am far away from genius unfortunatley lol (blushes)

Jana is my Art teacher and she took the Drawing home last night to show her Husband , though she already advised me how i can improve

Thank you Bob for your encouragement,

Thank you
a lot of glacing and scumbling and the lines have been drawn with the good old ruler in very light colour pencil to indicate where i am at
I have a fair long way to go with portrait`s as well , i was amazed how much the computer image actually helped me to see what i should do :scared:

[Petra Sohns]

Thank you .Jana is a very loving person and i hoped to captured that in the colours i choose
