Well, this was a school-assignment, for drawing class.

 

 

 

We had to pick from a couple qoutes, a short story, some lyrics or a poem.

 

 

 

I chose the following qoute, from Kahlil Gibran, a Dutch qoute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nog slechts gisteren dacht ik dat ik een fragment was, dat zonder ritme beefde in de levensbol.

 

 

 

Maar nu weet ik dat ik zelf de bol ben, en het leven zich roert in mij in ritmische fragmenten.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trasnlated in English:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only just yesterday I thought I was a fragment, which trembled without rithem in the sphere of life.

 

 

 

But now I know I am the sphere, and life stirs inside me in rythmic fragments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Probably not translated completely perfect, but good enough for me :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I chose this qoute, and started sketching, and eventually made this painting.

 

 

 

Acrylics on paperboard (?).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The photograph wasn't taken by me, and isnt really doing the painting justice. The colours don't precisely look like they do in real life, but oh well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what quote you had?

 

 

 

(i am dutch)

Take another good look at my post, you'll notice I already mentioned it ;)

NICE MAN!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

especely i know it...!

Nice :) I love the stylised silhouette...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never had the patience to paint much...

Awsome, great focal point and all.

Good job. :P

Oh my god I love that :shock: If it wasn't done justice in the photo, I'd probably have a heart attack if I saw it with justice done!

Thanks guys :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It'll take my teacher a while to grade all of the paintings, 23 students, 23 paintings, plus processdescriptions, yeah.. Gonna take a while.. I want to know my grade though :P

 

 

 

The painting itself took around 3 hours to complete.. Lots of preparation, sketches, colour studies etc, have been done before, during the regular drawingclasses.. We actually had 2 days to complete our project in the 'trap', testweek..

 

 

 

One day of 3 hours, and the day after that one 4 hours, to get all our stuff done..

 

 

 

I was done the first day. XD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have to go and gt some painting stuff at home, I really enjoy painting.

I wish I had supplies so I could try my hand at painting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This painting is beautiful. Great color contrast from the outer green and yellow tones to the blue and red on the inside. Like Mxm said, great focal point and it's almost symmetrical, but I like what you did better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the light blue around the figure. I know you probably had to do this so that the viewer could see the silhouette, but you chose a nice color for it. It really gives the guy a *pop*.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bueno! Have you done any digital paintings before? Just curious. I now they're nothing like actually, physically painting, but just wondering.

Looks awesome dude :). Good job!

I've recently begon trying digital painting, not much succes so far, best was the selfportrait I posted some time ago..

 

 

 

I'm trying a full scene now though..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks ryan :)

Are you selling it (IRL of course)? :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not an expert or something, but this really looks amazing. BTW, what is the size of the piece?
