GetNerfedOn Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Welcome to the Cosmic Galleria, my humble art thread! In my spare time, a dear friend of mine taught me how to paint, such that i could use art as a form of catharsis. Here I shall show you my creations. They're watercolor done on scratch paper. Forgive me for the poor quality of my pictures and art, as i have a rather limited imaging device on my phone, not to mention the lack of a scanner, and I am yet an amateur at what i do. I shall try to create and upload as much art as I can, depending on how much spare time I'm going to get. I hope my art pieces are pleasing to you My first art pieces are here: Spoiler Meadow on Cliffs Sunflowers The Death March - this i find especially poignant, as this was a very important historical event for my country... a sacrifice people nowadays most oftentimes take for granted. Shooting Star Mother With Child - I plan to remake this one considering I went overboard and got the paper damaged. Not to mention the lack of detail. CHECKLIST Spoiler Mother with Child Remake (possibly a third one???) - Rosalina - Dragonfruit Flowers - Mother?! (a scene in mother 3, chapter 6) - some landscapes my dearest friend sent to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you sending me this in a pm. Nice to see the rest of your work and hope you do more. Which country are you in? I love the scale to this! You put a lot of detail but... The colors seem a tad too cheerful for the mood of the piece. I suppose the dark colors are the subject contrast from the bright colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted using a black and white photo for reference with cross-reference from my memories of what our countrysides usually look like on hot summer days. Another friend of mine had a similar comment - my colors were too bright and they needed proper shading, something I know not to do yet. Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

It has to do with your culture. The site helps indeed though I a few questions regarding tints and shades: - How do I create them? If I have three color tubes with the respective primary colors, how do I create them using those tubes alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetNerfedOn Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 It's been so long since i've ever found even just any iota of time to paint (partly because i've got coo leg to take care of now, and because i've indulged in the masterpiece that is Mother 3) However i did find an opportunity and i managed to update Dumaguete: I also attempted to paint Rosalina, but failed thrice :/ On 19/06/2019 at 11:57 PM, minespatch said: https://www.dummies.com/art-center/performing-arts/art-painting/watercolor-painting-for-dummies-cheat-sheet/ Please don't let the website name scare you, these are good tips.

Dumaguete - also known as the city of gentle people - is a city on Negros (pronounced with the stress on the second syllable, mind you), one of the many islands in the Archipelago that is the Philippines. Some of our relatives live there, and it's pretty idyllic and rural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
