With this I mean changing the contour - not by extending the body with its colour, but making the body thinner by cutting in with the background colour.
some fine sketches we will have in our thread then! People will wonder just where in the solar system we got on the train:scream:

Ok this took me about five minutes of staring at the monitor in bewilderment before I realized that the name of the empire’s capital in episodes I-III is actually based on an english adjective…
Woman, it is too late for me to figure these things out around here!
I am halfway in bed.
So, erm, what did you want to point out with your post?:curious:
Mr. Mu
Ah, I have understand (hope so). g
After changed the gamma attitude I hope, this is better?
EDIT: update 18.01. after more clean up the lines
Oh yes, much better - I can only see the slightest little pale shadow at her shoulder, now.
I don’t think you need to fix it, as the painting is absolutely beautiful as it is (esp. face likeness and her right hand!), but you should make sure you adjust your monitor before you do something you might want to print or something…
Looking forward to what you will be doing for the next OFDW (master copy)!
Hi Rebecca and everyone
Refined progportions mostly and studied musculature more closely
Keeping brush stroke look.
No blending or smoothing
#1 Colors I’m working with as I paint it
#2 and #3 Are light and color studies
Using light to emphasize face, hands and upper torso.
And using shadow to push the lower torso back into space.
Next will refine face hands etc.
But want to keep this figure loose and airy.
Don’t want to kill the motion by refining it too much
Take Care

LOL - Thanks Mr. Mu! BTW, I tried out Artrage yesterday. Did you write the software? If so , thats hella impressive! Its similar to the feel of Painter. I didnt get a chance to do too much with it but I am going to see if I can come up with a small illustration using just Artrage. Im also in the process of checking out OpenCanvas… Ive been on this kick lately trying out different software to see if there are things in them that would compliment how I work. Anyhow, thank you for your words and the nice post on my Finished 2D thread… talk later 
Damn Rebecca,that looks incredible. The softness you have on your edges while still maintaining sharpness is beautiful. Obviously the entire image is breathtaking but the way you put together the area from the delt, the underneath the tricep and bicep, and finally up to the elbow is rock solid. The expression on his face too… its just got so much weight to it. This is definitely going to come out unbelievable. Nothing but praise from me :bowdown:
Did you write the software?
No… errr… NO! :surprised
I just use it, man!
I did use artrage for OFDW10, btw and it was great as I do not have any other software that can handle bigger resolution that good on my machine!
OpenCanvas I use only to watch WPE-files of artists I like.
Another definite recommendation is Artweaver, which emulates closely the way Painter sets up its brushes. You can even capture dabs! I created a bunch of watercolor brushes for that software which came out very fine, I believe.
I have seen zhuzhu and Gord MacDonald use Artweaver - give it a go.
But judging from the quality of your work you are one of those people who can use just about anything and produce highly pleasing results.:curious:
Which reminds me of this wonderful sketch (comedian sketch, I mean) I once saw where a Pollock-esque modern painter is trying to teach Rembrandt how to “let go of it all” and just blot the canvas with color randomly and Rembrandt is trying hard - but after each swing of his arm there’s another accidential masterpiece on the canvas until both of them stare at the canvas, bewildered…
Rembrandt:“I just can’t do it!”
Some people just can’t go wrong…
Thanks forthe info Mr.Mu about Artweaver… I take a tour on the site, and effectively, this software appear very interesting… I will test is soon… thanks
Beckie -> mmmmmmmmmmmmmh… I really love this style (again…)… and flipped, that works again… very good point :buttrock: nothing to crit, just waiting for more…
Glenn -> the latest tests are really interesting… already a good feeling with the suggered first one… and I like the burned third… great way :bounce:
Mr. Mu,
Thank you ~ chuckles 
Lolo,
Thanks ~ hoping to finish this one…as always, hoping
Cheers, :wavey:
~Rebeccak
Always the case of many people… hoping and find time :twisted:
…actually, I’ve the odd feel that my actual OFDW will be never finished… don’t know why… just hoping too… find time… and finish before…
hahahaha… life is not always quiete and fine with us :deal:
Hi …Rebecca…
Am really really enjoying and likeng the progress on this last work of yours.
Very strong technique going there…really capturing a nice mood and emotion…
If I were to suggest anything on this one, it would be to make his legs stronger looking,
to go with his upper half more.
I think your about ready to start that painting of the …MEDICI TOMB now…LOL!!..:eek: :bounce:
Lemog…THANK YOU…
Putting him in a painting…will post it here tonight…
Take Care

Okay this is as finished as it is going to get I think. I am looking forward to OFDW12, I am very excited by the reference and a little bit scared as I have never attempted anything on this kind of scale before. :argh: but I guess the whole point is to push yourself further so I am relishing the challenge! Rebecca, I was wondering if we are actually allowed to start now, I don’t know about anybody else but I am itching to start…
