Painting Pitfalls: Getting too Literal

It's hard not to get carried away rendering many many many details seperately instead of working the whole painting. The danger is overcomplicating values and edges trying to describe objects too literally. The balance is thrown out of whack, and any appeal the had painting gets lost. Really, an impression can give a more tangible feeling for an interoir.

Here's a quick hack Photoshop filter job to illustrate. The high contrast B&W has less detail, but so much more depth and feeling. The "too literal" original is below it.

Good Balance

Good balance between fine lines and broad strokes are so important. It's too easy getting carried away adding more fine lines to try and describe something clearer. Better to erase lines to do so! (note to self: more fine lines highlight the drawing, good balance highlights the subject)

Figuring out Fashion

Imaginary designs from make-belief fashion label O+B:

And some anatomy homework:
