Before beginning the course I had only painted a few times on photoshop, mostly just line drawings. Quickly my skills advanced I was able to produce more advanced pieces as the weeks went on. The method I use for painting my characters is to paint them tonally and then paint colour in later, ideally I would like to be able to paint straight to colour as it can be faster. And my technique can leave my paintings look washed out along with other problems to do with colour theory. I also want to improve my blending many of my paintings look very mucky and unfinished, hopefully these things will come with time, Naturally my painting speed will improve with practice.The information about composition was particularly useful I've tried to think more about how the painting is constructed and techniques I can use to affect the viewer. As the projects went on my pieces are getting more and more ambitious I hope I can continue this even though my 'character' final painting didn't go as planned.
For the Timepiece task my design involved painting a landscape, I realised I have little experience at painting environments and backgrounds, It would be wise to work on this area in my personal studies in the future.In the Character task I had trouble painting things with high contrast and low light levels it took much longer to paint the figure than usual because of the low light levels and high contrast I've been doing some personal studies to practice this issue before.
