Coincidentally enough this is how I learned to swim
Swimming: 50 laps! Go me. Today: 50 * 25 = 1 250. Total before today: 1 600. Total today: 2 850 / 590 000.
I got to talking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bunn about pastels, so here's my current pastel project. I need to work on: realism, expressions, shadows, wavy hair and contrast. I picked a still from Revenge of the Sith, because I really hate copying, so if I'm going to copy a thing, I am going to copy something I am interested in, ie Star Wars (and the lighting on Mustaphar is amazing and super interesting to work with).
I picked pastels as a medium because I rarely do pastels on account of how it's hard to do fiddly details in pastels, but I am also trying to stop focusing on details so much so here I am PRACTICING EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
Fyi, would not reccoment anyone actually do this. It's the art equivalent of someone taking away your floaters, throwing you into a river and going "now you swim back to shore".
This one's the one I'm working on. Paper format is A3 (297 x 420mm, 11.7 x 16.5in).
The reference, more or less. I'm chucking Obi-Wan. Sorry, Obi-Wan.
The line-art's not detailed because I am hoping to be working solely with colour to make it work. We shall see.
Guess what, it's also in a colour scheme I don't use a lot.
I am quite tempted to sign-up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
femmeremix . I enjoyed the remixing part of the Remix challenge I did last year -- but that was the only part I enjoyed. I hear this one is much better run!

throwing you into a river and going "now you swim back to shore".
I throw away the floaters and do all the things too. I know it's not ideal, but all that incremental learning stuff, who has time???
I like that colour scheme: will be interested to see how you develop the shadows.
(Also, the way Obi-wan has what looks like a glowing exclamation mark over his head is amusing. And quite appropriate. :-D )
