i haven't perfected this but i thought it was a cool effect.




black and white with a sepia effect




i know your probably all getting board of seeing that 47.

[FeiHu]

That is cool 8) If it's not a 51..I'd rather look at a 47 :loveeyes:

Great pics. The second one is lovely

You could make the first one exactly the same only that with a Zero than a P-47.

It'd look like the raising sun.

The idea of screenshot nr. 1 is nice but -maybe I am a partypooper now- the light and shadow effects are completely wrong.

Its not a prefect rendition but it looks good on my end.

care to explain your opinion?

The idea is nice of experimenting with light and shadow. It can give very interesting results but at least you should take care of some basics. (Maybe I sound like a schoolmaster now but hey that's what happens after the Academy of Arts and still into drawing and painting. :wink: )
It's easier to explain it with an image so therefor I used your screenshot.



To locate the lightsource I had to follow the light beams as indicated by the green lines and the red lines indicate the location where the shadows should be.
As represented in your screenie it looks like if there are many lightsources when looking at the parachutes and P-47.

I see some other things that are not correctly rendered but it goes too far I think to explain by mail.

I know there is something like artistic freedom but without the basics...

[BillSwagger]

interesting critique.


I suppose my lines are slightly different because my light source isn't pin pointed but i think the bigger difference is that i also took perspective into account, and i'm sure those aren't perfect either.

what would introducing perspective do to those lines you drew?

This is also inspired by what i see when i wake up on a foggy morning looking out my window. No, i don't see parachutes, but the sun shines through a cluster of redwoods and I can see how the light moves through the background, mid ground, and foreground while it reflects off the fog. Its always been a captivating effect to me.

In this representation its not perfect, but it isn't completely wrong, as you bluntly put.

The first one is very cool, nice work.

Perspective shouldn't change it as light would still travel in straight lines, I think.

I just think the light in the back ground would appear to cast shadows at slightly different angles than shadows in the foreground, when the light itself is still traveling in a straight line.

I don't mind the criticism, i actually think the two left sun beams should be angled more to the left, which would orient the light source off the page, just left to where the current light source was drawn.

That might correct the error in perception.
