Strange Behavior (Illustration) Entry: Moh'd M. Khatib

#4

This is a rough sketch of “The Ugly you”

#5

In this sketch I tied to visualize the woman’s real face and beauty and combine it with what The Ugly Her, like it popped of her head. It’s just a test.

#6

any comments?
Well i know am not even close to final image or even its composition, but as i said am trying to concentrate on each character in my piece one at a time.

I do not think this is all that close to the brief. you say she is turneing ugly due to her strange behaviors but the brief tells us to depict a strange behviour and perhaps a relationship of some kind. i am really not sure about the head on top of the head, although you would have a description for it at end the final piece would not obvioulsy be screaming out to the audience thats a strange behaviour, if yu know what i mean.

i would adapt the idea a bit more or try some others out as i do not think this is very strong idea as far as the composition goes… although your painting style is quite nice.

EDIT- PS, reading your idea again it might make more sence and for a better painting if the ugly women was looking in a mirror and we saw what she thinks she sees, a bueatiful women. you know what i mean. add ll little deatialsm in the background of her strange behavious that have made her so twisted etc. hope i am making sence… just woke up

Well Mokhatib, your idea is kinda new, good job, and your painting is great as usual…

but, as WIL has said, i think the painting is not very clear, but it’s still early to tell… :slight_smile:
I’ll keep an eye on this thread…keep it up man

Hey guys, Thanx for the comments I think I agree with you WIL that I got a bit distracted with my idea and forgot to focus on the main concept “which was picturing a strange behavior”, I’ll try to abstract the idea a bit more coz I think its just so general, but am not sure about the woman with the mirror thing “I think it’s quiet used”

Jassar thx for your words man it’s really nice to see people from my town challenging here it makes me proud, I loved the performer idea I think you could make something out of it. Good luck

This is a rough sketch of the woman’s head

#17

This image resembles how a person can’t let go his beloved ones even when they are hurting to death.

#18

“Can’t Let Go” Close up

#19

Oh! I can diggg that feeling, too bad!

But no wonder, the girl is hot! and so are the colors, good image indeed!

You know? i think the guy’s left leg looks not right (ha bad pun! not intented, thankyou) maybe he could twitch that leg in pain, Idunno.

Thanks for the comments, see you soon!

Thx a lot guys SteevieWoo & nwiz25 for passing by:)

am really confused at this point :sad: about which direction should I take about my concept, I want to achieve something “classical” but I donno I was browsing around other threads and most of them are taking a Toonish style which is more funny and most of them are full of humor.

I need help guys or an advice should I stick to that last concept I came up with and develop or try a totally different approach? “I don wanna run of out of time u know”

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

SteevieWoo:

I agree with you not only about the leg thing, I just didn’t study the whole pose quiet enough for the angle and the demon too. “and I wonbt until I decide to take this concept further”

I realy like the caricature sketch of the crazy lady, she would make a great sword swallower for the strange behaviour. Your style is fantastic, try not to get caught up by other peoples threads, follow your own path and do what makes you happy, from what i can see you definately have the skill set to produce a wonderful image.
