I like the visual style, Gobi, very nice! I will say, however, that the snout of the horse looks to be a little high; perhaps it should be a little straighter or even bend down, so as to take the nostrils off the image or at least out of the visible stage. At any rate, you picked a good song to represent visually.

I guess I had read the two light colored areas at the top of the horse's face as nostrils, but even if they aren't, I think it still leaves a little bit of anatomical incorrectness. The red line is roughly where I think the snout should run off the stage, but that's just my opinion.  *edit hell, the snout could even run a little more horizontally and I think it would be better |

Folville, I don't think anatomy matters much in an abstract picture like Gobi's. Art is not always how realistic something looks, but sometimes about how it makes you feel when looking at it. It this case it made me actually hear a song. If that is what Gobi intended then he did it perfectly. |

That's a good point, HadOne2Many; I guess i'm just an old traditionalist who places a bit too much emphasis on realism (that I've known for a long time).

Well I;ve been on and off for a while mainly because of coursework. Here's my art coursework which I've finally finished (I hope unless you guys have any crits). It's the story of the Godess Rhiannon being chased by the Prince of Wales but he can't catch up. He eventually tells her to wait. I had to base my coursework on an artist so this is based on the artist Franz Marc. C&C highly welcome

 URGENT!!!!! I need everyone's help for a school project... I am doing two projects on the book "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I need suggestions. The first project is a visual mind map concerning disillusion (the book is based in the thirties about prejudice and racist southern united states for those who havent read it), the second project is an abstarct ink drawing the character "Boo Radley" (klik this link for those who have not read the book: http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/CHR.htm ). Thankyou for your anticipated help!!!! tr P.S. I need these suggestions in before the end of tommorow, so please make haste!!! |

dude, research what abstract means and then draw what you think boo looks like. We arent going to do it for you. Make an effort and maybe we can work with you..  edit- heres an example that i could find of an abstract person.  from what i remember (i read the book in 2001 which was a while ago) Boo was just a normal looking guy, who was shut out from the world by his father. He might have been kinda large, i dont remember. there was a movie, maybe you could see what he looked like there for an idea. Possibly draw him putting something in the hole in the tree, or looking out of his window. thats all i have til you can show us whatcha got.

All right! But I'm warning you... my ideas are going to cost you quite, quite dearly...  Actually, I don't think ideas are what you need at this point. What you first need, is a workspace that is conducive to idea-generation: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - If it isn't already, clean your desk, bed, closet--- or wherever you've chosen as a workspace. You'd be surprised how much easier working is when there's little distraction around. - Get yourself a sheet of paper and a sharp pencil. - Draw a line down the middle so you have two columns. On the left column, write down everything you know about Boo Radley, his history, appearance, characteristics, reputation, etc. For example: |Left Column| Boo Radley: - Is a recluse - Was a juvenile delinquent - Has a frightening effect on small children - Etc. - Don't stop until you have at least 10 of these. - When you have ten, choose the one that you think describes Boo the most, then pick three others that interest YOU. Write all four in the right column, leaving space around them for writing/ideas. - Around each of the four descriptions, begin writing down ideas about how you might incorporate each one in the abstract--- via baloons, branching, bullet points, etc. Example: |Right Column| 1.) Has a frightening effect on small children - Draw the faces of frightened children around the fringes of the painting - Have children fleeing away from the instance of Boo in the painting. - Draw Boo eating small children. - Etc. - Take the ideas that you get and run with them.  When you're done you should have no shortage of ideas that are your own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Even if me and everyone else here did give you ideas... would you really want to use someone else's idea for your project??

i added to my last post, just so you know. Im not saying your lazy but what your giving us is very vague. I have no clue what your idea is either. -AK, i dont think boo was a delinquent, i think that was something made up to keep him secluded. dont quote me tho. Another idea i just had is maybe draw boo as a puppet and his father as a puppet master to symbolize what kind of constricting hold his father had on his life. |

Shayne, I say this only in your best interest, but please go draw in greyscale for a while. People or still lifes, whichever you please, but your sense of tone and contrast is being hijacked by the color, which is exactly what you don't want. Turn your pic to greyscale. Three things immediately pop out to me: 1. The monkey's head and back get lost in the background. 2. The complex detail on the tree steals the focus away from where it's supposed to be. 3. The tree actually looks better without the color. Get rid of the frame while you're at it; the wood texture kinda screams 1950. With that out of the way, what works about this picture? The white face on the dark body is definitely eye-catching. The tree provides a nice compositional framing. The monkey himself is accurately rendered. You're kind of in a strange place artistically, but keep at it. You're only going to get better the more you churn out. |

Thanks for the comments Red, you know I alwasy appreciate your input! This piece was actually never meant for color.... I sketched it out for an engraving, which I find really noticable. (Ala the heavy dark lines.... <_< ) Yeah, I have a deffinate problem with color.... again. Me thinks its about time I took a color theory course. And looking again I totally agree about the frame. That suckers gotta go. So go greyscale and forget color for a bit huh? Thats going to be hard, but I know that you know what you are talking about... so I'll take your advice and see what I can come up with. Pity you live so damn far away Red... But then again, I'd probably drive ya nuts if you were any closer!
:lol: Thanks for the comments, I'll see what I can do!

Little cliché, don't ya think? What I've learned, is that the best idea's are the ones you have to spend a good amount of time thinking of. Not the ones that just suddenly pop into your head, because those are the one's that everyone would think of, therefore, they are clichéd. I would suggest maybe you take some of the ideas, and think about them some more, and try to develop them to a deeper meaning. Maybe try to find what all those ideas have in common and find a possibly simplistic meaning behind all of them and try to convey that through Boo Radley. |
