We are handed the reins over to YOU. This was your chance to make something YOU love. It’s in keeping with the Slowvember art challenge, where you spend the whole month of November making something you love for your portfolio.
If you’re not sure how to do Slowvember, here’s a week-by-week approach (Lee White, the creator of Slowvember, goes into more detail in this video):
Week 1: Research and development. This is all about finding inspiration, no output at this stage! Find art that you love, and do Lee’s art questionnaire.
Week 2: Thumbnails, value studies, color comps. This stage is for trying out different compositions and designs and seeing if they really work. If you follow Lee’s YouTube, then you’ll know that he recommends you do at least 50 thumbnails before deciding on a composition. Explore the options!
Week 3: Paint and evaluate. You’ve done the legwork, now it’s time to go to a finish. Make the image, then evaluate. Is it working? Are there problem areas? Get feedback!
Week 4: Paint the final! And enjoy the process.
You can choose any subject matter, and any media. Just be sure it’s a project that is true to you!
