This week I'm going to carry on with the Caminito - the one drastically in the middle of progress. I think this work is going to go well with the summer coming and all, hopefully it's going to be nice and summary to get us all in the mood for a holiday. Right?
Below you can see where I was left off and from which I will carry on during this post. All is simple, all is still under the whole molding process and ready to be worked on. So let's get to it, shall we.
From here I just keep on going in the same lines of just shaping the work to its future form before any detail is added and I hope to get a start on some shading. There's a lot I want to reshape on the building such as the left side of the building, the trash can and some of the street lights. I'm going to add another blue street light on the right side of the building behind the red pole, just to bring some action to the right side too since the left side will be quite full in my vision currently.
After doing this, I want to make a head start on the pavement on the road, just to distinguish that it's not just a hazy brown.. concoction. I'm also going to reshape the balconies and the green doors there, their dimension don't seem to fit to the rest of the building.
As I did all of the mentioned above, I took the liberty to add some detail to the left side of the building, drawing some starts of the trees in the background and mannequin legs below the red signs under the balconies. I also darkened and lightened the pavement slash road with a new layer and a large brush - just to bring out some contrast with the magic of shading.
As the last thing for today - because I haven't had enough time to really work on this than on this very Sunday today - I have a trashcan to fit on the left side.. A pickle some might say.
...Soo, I set on a mission to make a trashcan and that is exactly what I did. A job done right there. Now I know I haven't actually done much this post, other than a few biggish changes (for me that is) and so I apologize for that. I can say that I believe the picture is shaping to be somewhat along the lines I'm looking for so next week I'll have a piece I'll be looking forward to work on. The beginnings are always a bore, in my opinion.
Next week I hope to start on the trees on the right side, it looks so bare as it is and it's very difficult to do such fine work with the big brush I'm using at this stage of the process. I can see in the not so distant future that I will be able to decrease the size of my brush and start on the real work of detail. I guess that's all for this Sunday then and 'till the next one.
