Goodness gracious, another update


My what a productive day I'm having. I got a little more daring with the colors here.

Another from ref


Yay! I'm trying to think about the color choices I'm making, not just copy the photo exactly. It's very helpful for seeing what other colors can be mixed into a picture. When I do my own, they tend to be fairly monochromatic.

Practice from reference



Just doing some speedies from reference. Both are from National Geographic's galleries. That site has a wealth of pretty things to look at.

Bee race


there's a pretty good chance the colors on this are going to look completely nuts - they look normal to me in painter and preview, but crazy oversaturated in photoshop. And I don't really know which program is telling the truth.

I'm not really terribly happy with this one - the scale/perspective are way off. I like the colors, but I think they're probably going to look crazy intense on other monitors because reds always seem to show up differently on other monitors than they do on mine.

Monkey, meet Butterfly
