Is it day time amongst a times square of zombies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-13610641791955303742013-02-14T12:42:35.888-05:002013-02-14T12:42:35.888-05:00Even simply using tones for the background can mak...Even simply using tones for the background can make the piece go from an unfinished to finished look. Lay some masking fluid over the figures (assuming you plan on using watercolor of gouache) and blend some colors and tones to make a visually interesting backdrop.Ben Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663419559306316352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-64015198980595692142013-02-13T22:56:20.673-05:002013-02-13T22:56:20.673-05:00To make them look more like zombies, you should ha...To make them look more like zombies, you should have their bones showing in some places.

Although I might suggest that if you don't want to go intensive into a detailed background you could go for something more graphic.<br />Perhaps add some different shapes and colors with more gore to give it a different sort of feeling.<br />But I totally love this. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-69598190500581546252013-02-13T21:13:47.770-05:002013-02-13T21:13:47.770-05:00I think a way to make a clarity is to include a pr...I think a way to make a clarity is to include a prominent light source.

I would pay close attention to the tangent that's about the happen with her foot and the right edge of the border. It could be a distraction if they touch in the final, so just make sure there's a decent amount of distance between the two.<br /><br />-rAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790044800311554835.post-63001774846778585682013-02-13T21:09:02.075-05:002013-02-13T21:09:02.075-05:00Zombies!

Really mess up their clothes a bit more and mutate them like Left 4 Dead or The Walking Dead. <br /><br />Also, what is the environment around them? Are they walking in space? Are there other zombies around?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335147741802617902noreply@blogger.com
