[A] Rye's AP Art portfolio in progress

[Rye]

My AP Art portfolio's concentration is hands on faces expressing emotion through color and contrast. It's in the fauvist style. :3 I did two out of the 12 so far. The first one is at school. I have the second one since it's not 100% done yet, but that's just the background that hasn't been finished. I dunno what I'll do with that.



Ma mere. :3

[Lawr]

That looks cool.
What did you use to color it?

[Rye]

O-o-oil pastels~

[Miriel]

It's beautiful. The way you colored it gives the portrait a real sense of movement even though the person is static.

Mas!

Seconded.

I still don't know what you can do with the background. If anything comes to me I'll let you know of course.

[Slade]

Yo know what I really like about this? The way the face contrasts so much with the background that it pops out and appears 3 dimensional. Awesome

[Shlup]

Picking my nose makes me contemplative and melancholy as well. Very good composition.

I love the coloring! Also, entirely what Miriel said.

[Rye]

Shlupppp xDDD It only looks like that because my Mom (and I for that matter, but hers is bigger than mine) has a huge nose.

Thanks, everyone <3

Are you girls related to Blanka?

[NeoCracker]

The only problem I have with it are the two hands. They look like they belong to two different people, so it seems someone else is trying to pick her nose, and she is trying to stop them from doing so. I would suggest making the coloring on the hands Identical. (Unless thats part of the art style you are using, I don't know much about art to be honest.

Other then that, I like.

Are you girls related to Blanka?

I didn't want to be the first to say that... >_> But I think it's actually a good picture, expressive, with vibrant colors. Maybe her nostril is a little big, but that's my taste.

[Rye]

Thanks. :3 I love doing fauve art. I have to say though, the nostril is the proportional size from the source photo. Mommy has a really big nose. xD

[KoShiatar]

Maybe it would benefit from a little more work in the background, like adding some yellow to the green. How hypocrite of me to say that, since backgrounds are always the part I dedicate the least work to, if any

[Breine]

Oil pastels!

Anyway, it looks really good. As for the background I like that your using green.. it'll be a nice contrast to the red/orange hair. If it's possible it could look good with some yellow in the green as well.

[Imperfectionist]

This is an EXCELLENT take on the fauves' style, I never would've thought to be inspired by what they did to do something like this, I always thought their work was just a bit too drab for me...
Hair looks brilliant, the texture of it is just... wow lol, I just have a problem with the hands... they're confusing...
But still, good work =D
