Here is the completed version of Snow White. Like I posted earlier, I finished it the night before the conference, just in time to get it into my portfolio for the view. I thought I would post some of the observations that Laurent Linn made about my portfolio
First the areas for improvement:
- I need to work on making the character’s emotions very clear. Children don’t know how to respond to a picture unless it is very clear how the character is responding
- I need to capture moments, not paint portraits of characters “doing” things
- I need to keep working on the details, like clothing, personalities, hairstyles, etc
- I need to work on the stiffness of characters, make them more dynamic
- Work on getting viewers to ask “what comes next?” get them to turn the page
And the things I’m doing well:
- Everything was “beautifully rendered”
- The paintings were composed very well
- He really like snow white and told me to send him a postcard of that, which of course I will do right away!
