Good news everypeople, I've quashed my self-doubt for the time being and I'm back to making work. Being unproductive sucks a lot and I can't really afford that right now. Crap has been dealt with and I'm on a good streak now.
Okay so, to set a context for your critiques: These are pieces that I'm working on for my Pixar art internship portfolio. I started doing all these little thumbnails for character ideas based on the sort of stuff i've been doing more recently in painting and then when I tried taking it to paint it just didn't feel like me.
So I switched gears and started painting this astronaut stuff, thinking I could keep playing with shape, which I know has gotta be important to those guys at Pixar, but also play more with color, which I feel is my real strength, and possible work with doing some rough color keys.
Speaking of color keys: http://louromano.blogspot.com/2009/06/up-color-script.html These are a bunch of color keys done for UP. They're super simple and at times they have some really weird mark making which almost can come across as clumsy, but boy do they tell a story. And how the color transitions throughout the
whole thing is really elegant.
I think I like the idea of continuing to explore color keys for my portfolio, maybe attempting to demonstrate some really quick, succinct storytelling in just a few panels.
Anyways, your guys' critiques were super awesome last time and I feel waaay lost with this work at the moment.
