Compared to yours, my color system is pretty dismal. With my current arrangement, I usually end up with 5 pencils gathered in my nondrawing hand as I work. Haha
Haha, if it works for you then that's all that matters! There are many ways to organize colors, I think that the most unpractical way I've seen other artists do is having them organized into glass jars by color (red, blue, yellow, green, purple etc); that makes it extremely difficult for finding colors and absolutely difficult for beginners.
@Jessica Matheney Fine Art Actually, I must thank you, because this video reminded me that I need to fix my process. I work in mixed media so I like to have everything transportable but also "plug and play". Two cups labeled warm and cold (Impractical as well since warm and cold are simply relative terms to what's on the painting) and a bloated drafting desk at 40% vertical are currently just not doing it. Ah, but if I could have your arrangement, I already feel how joyful it would be.
I do not understand making a carbon copy of a photograph, let alone matching the colors 100% if it is not for learning some techniques in order to improve your own art. I occasionally draw Mcbride or Frazetta characters so that I can carry that knowledge onto my own drawings but never worry about correct colors and exact shapes if I can get the style and contrast right. I know everyone has their own preferences and do enjoy doing different stuff but personally I find copying something that already exists a little uninteresting.
For me, I think copying the photograph exactly would be sort of a failure. Colored pencil success, I believe, is doing better than the photo. Photos aren't perfect, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe vertical alignments can be distorted, and values in the highest lights and lowest shadows can be affected. Also, because of its subtlety, I think colored pencil is the best media for learning color (although, I admit, I look to oil painters for guidance as much if not more).
@@travisnobleart I acknowledge the required knowledge that goes into making it look realistic. My point wasn't that copying isn't skillful it just kind of unintersting since almost all of them end up with looking %90 similiar to the photograph. If you value the changes you make to the photograph then why not create something that is unique entirely? If it is creative improvement you are seeking then making your own art is a better route. This still could use help from photographs for inspiration but the overall execution would be unique hence more pours into the work from the artist than the source material.
@@ahmeteminerdogan9266 I get what you’re trying to say, but you’re not understanding that it’s more than just copying a photo. It’s the subject, like drawing a cheetah for example. I want my drawing to look just like it. By your logic, I should just make my own animal. No, i want to draw animals as realistically as possible.
That's great, do what you love to do and interests you the most! I agree that everyone has their own preferences, which is a good thing because even in the different types of drawing and art, it makes us all unique to the type of style we do with our work. Drawing photo realistically I feel has a wide range of reasons why people are interested in it and also lots of different styles, and likely the highest reason of interest is that it is enjoyable to develop the skills to draw so realistically that you can re-create a photograph or still life. It takes a great deal of skill development in a lot of aspects to achieve that; self criticism being the highest.
@@chepeolvera8057 You can still make realistic looking animals without copying a photograph. Maybe twist the animal a little, add a rider to the horse, combine two different photos together. I just value the artistic interpretation more than realism.
