Lunamoth

This is a digital painting I did, playing around with colours and skin tones.  In Friday’s painting class we were doing a portrait that emphasized natural skin tones, and I wanted to see what I could do with some not-so-natural tones.  It’s turned out not too bad — I think the negative space on the bottom right is a bit distracting, but overall I’m happy with it.  And, it cost nothing in paint or canvas, since I did it digitally.  I used a program called ArtRage which I’m having a lot of fun with.  It’s very intuitive, so it takes no time at all to learn to use it, and it has lots of features that make it more like “real” painting or drawing than other similar programs I’ve tried.  Best of all, if you don’t like what you’ve created, just delete and forget it ever existed!  This is a great feature if you’re trying something new and aren’t sure how to do it, or what direction to take it in.  No loss if it doesn’t work out, and as always with painting, even the rejects are teachers.
