Reference PhotoInprogressFinal This is my fourth concentration piece; it is a picture of me and my sister hiking through Triberg, Germany. Triberg is a small town in the Black Forest region where they are known for Cuckoo clocks and Black Forest cake. This hike was Wasserfalls, which means waterfall in German. My family is a big adventure family, so we always find the coolest things to entertain ourselves with on vacation - hiking was one of them. The main goal of this leg of the trip was to hike, see some waterfalls, and get me a Cuckoo Clock. My favorite part is my sister and I hugging, so I am going to make us stick out by dulling the background and saturating us.
When I started this piece I was scared about getting the spacing and proportions right, so I only traced the outline of each of our faces. I wanted to sketch everything else at home, so I took my time and focused on getting everything perfect. It took me a long time to get the courage to draw the faces eventually I did it. When I started coloring I started on the pants first, then worked on the shoes, then the shirts. Most of the clothes I had to blended at least two colors together to get that specific color. The clothing, shoes, and hair were the easiest part of the piece. I took my good sweet ol time with the background to make it as perfect as possible. The rocks were mostly time consuming, after I did the first two I got the technique I wanted to use down. I was eminent on having a dull background but still having enough values to make it make sense. The trees were my worst nightmare. I just can't do trees, they are the worst to draw. The nature part of the background needs much improvement, but I have been working on it too long and I know I can live with how it looks.If I could go back and fix anything I would fix how broad my sister looks, but oh well.
