This is a hand and a foot that i painted from this photo
The colours are not very good – it looks like a documentation for assurance money. I don’t know – skin desease, burn victim, zombie bite. Something like that – it was just intended to be normal skincolours, so it’s not all that successful. I keep comparing with the photo, because it seems that the foot is too small, but actually, it seems a little small in the photo aswell. Maybe it’s not that much off.
I also would have liked to get a clearer distinction between the foot and the hand. Maybe more shadows could have done it – or more homogenous colours..
They actually struck me as being the hand and foot of an elderly person because of the skin tones. It is actually a really nice drawing and painting. You are being too hard on yourself.
A bit hard on yourself on the colours! I think the skin tone is great. The toes may be a bit small, therefore that might explain the foot looking short. Good job, all the same.
Thanks!
Once it’s done, it stands on it’s own…don’t compare it to the original (unless someone has asked for a photographic portrait). Looks good to me.
