Sketches!

These are the three sketches that I really defined in the process of creating a digital painting. I looked at the ideas that I'd come up with, and I wasn't really sure which one I liked best at the time, so I alternated working on the three. This was also my third or fourth time working with a drawing tablet, which was very exciting. I needed to make a desicion soon, so I asked friends and thought on it myself for quite a while and ended up picking number three.

Final Sketch!

Today I made a lot of progress on my beginning sketches for the final painting project. I'm really excited to fine tune and color this! I really liked number three from the older sketches, and I was super excited to work with it, but, as I sketched in the details, I realized that I didn't really like the design. It got tweaked quite a bit, and I like it much better now. It better represents Noelle and her strength as an individual and her struggle to stand out.

I'm thinking that the color scheme will be mainly blues and greens for Noelle, and her reflection will be mostly shades of pink or red. I will probably make the background a similar color so that Noelle stands out the most in the painting. The hair will most likely change shape as it is painted, but I don't plan on changing much else. The coloring of Noelle herself are up for alteration, but I plan to draw her as I imagined her in my head.
