Well guys i guess im gunna enter this… Ive already missed a couple weeks.
This is actually going to be one of my first CG painting ever too. Im 17 ive been doing 3d for almost a year now and just got into painting. So im gunna be needing lots of advice.
My idea is pretty traditional. Theres a mom/dad bringing there little boy/girl to the circus first time and the kid is amazed with what he sees

#3

well guys afte a couple hours of work today heres my progress…

#4

whats up,
very nice idea, I mean I always thought that the circus is creepy, but ethier way that’s cool
my advise is not to go to detail right away, sketch loosly, thinking about perspective and proportion first, look at the light how reflects from different objects, where is dark and where is very bright
but first sketch the same idea few times and compare,
there are some good tutorials at
www.artbyfeng.com
www.goodbrush.com
from those there is a bunch of links to different people, most of them have some kind of their explanation how they do it,
it’s very touchy to me your idea so good luck with that
and PRACTICE :love:

#5

thanks so much for those thinks… ill take your advice

#6

check those links those are the best people I’ve seen, and don’t stress who thinks what, just be yourself, and you’ll find it, drawing is just motor skill whats in your head it is important
and always practice
cheers :twisted:

#7

i try to practice almost everyday now for the past month. do a couple quick paintings a day… thanks for the support

#8

sup man, you entered!
i promise myself i will enter once my exams are over.
As for your concept the circus is a great idea. mabey you should have the scene inside of the tent, with a dramatic perspective of some aerial acrobatic, and the family way below in an excited crowd? just a thought :wink:

#9

hey dude, how are you?
Glad that someone from nsl has entered the challenge!
I wish you good luck. :bounce:

cheers Kam

#12

howdy…
Good luck i will be following your thread

#13

guys can i get some C&C?

#14

i did alittle more work on the characters,grass and the trail… Im sorta lost on how im gogin to paint the Rest of the sceene and make it look decent… any tips?

#15

in my little opinion, ur comp is unbalanced, and you pulling of the picture, to the right, the landscape in front is overwelming so you loosing the character, think what is ur focus on this is it a child or a road,
my suggestion is to push horizon down, and bring child with the mother to probobly third from the right, so let say the kid takes about 2/3 from the hight, flatten the road, some deatail some nice soft light and ur home, think about perspective and composition,
drop that horizon, and yes you can cut out mummy out but the child needs to be in focus
hopefuly this help you a bit, cheers :cool:

#16

thanks for the tip… hows the view lookin now? and is ther anyreason why i cant get C&C from anyone else? lol

#17

nnee they’re just lazy and buzy doing their own crap,
from here on you can do a lot of things, me myself I see, nuclear explosion in the far horizon, I don’t know, for me just fits right there, and to me that emptyness and the image
of the boy so peacful with the contrast of mushroom cloud would be spectacular,
dude that just my opinion, you might come up with something way more interesting, good luck, cheers :applause: :twisted:

#18

yeah thanks man… i know the past couple days ie been thinking of other things i could do in the forground i though o fyour idea and a burning city too so many possibilities lol… ill decide in the next couple days to… i might just stay with my original idea but who knows.

#19

Work on making the boys head a little thinner it’s too wide right now! Also his left hand is a tad to small! Other than that I love teh colours used and the emotion conveyed so far! Good luck!:thumbsup:

the scene looks nice. why not add something on the horizon where the kid is looking at.

something that captivated the kids attention. and yes do add clouds on the background.
