So it has been a while. Life has thrown a few distractions my way but I am working on bringing this blog up to speed, starting with my Keynote presentation from this year's Comicon 2015. I have to build an interactive for the second half of the presentation on Photoshop brushes and how to use them as tools to build backgrounds.</div>

Keep in mind that there are many many more than this, this is but a drop in the bucket for what we do when we quick sketch, but I do find that in most gesture circles there is no real motivation for why the artist is drawing, and that can eventually lead to all sorts of interesting problems, including the question that can easily come to mind, "why am I doing this?"<br />
The tools and surfaces you work with will also change up and inspire different types of motivation too, but in this case I worked with charcoal and newsprint, the standard tool of choice in most schools.<br />
Pass the video on if you find it useful, and thank you for watching.<br />

Here is the photo that I am working with.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeossMFhgt6vo5_8JKb8x2MtLigz1KpbnLp3Py-sBI8HzUMF-bVFIQtnEXIs7wGwQ4XUTNPjDHajKY0wrlv1qqizZjVU4soNnCLGOY64KiKszgnqeYzkR6WQq6V74Fm6LpQ1FB27EB9dE/s1600/Peter+Hewitt.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeossMFhgt6vo5_8JKb8x2MtLigz1KpbnLp3Py-sBI8HzUMF-bVFIQtnEXIs7wGwQ4XUTNPjDHajKY0wrlv1qqizZjVU4soNnCLGOY64KiKszgnqeYzkR6WQq6V74Fm6LpQ1FB27EB9dE/s320/Peter+Hewitt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This is a photo of Peter Hewitt. I do not currently know who shot this photo but I will find out soon.<br />
<br />
So, what I want to do is take this photo and find a spot somewhere else next to impossible to take this image.<br />
<br />I am going to put the camera under the board or behind it as if this was a clear tunnel.<br />
<br />
First
thing to do is learn the original pose so we can proceed forward with
more working confidence. So study the image and do a drawing from its
perspective, in this case I am using figure construction methods to help
me determine the volume presented before me.<br />
<br />
Here is the drawing that I did a study of to start the process.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3d-5elOFSAMPZM3DoZLdohstK9S3nzvlueP4X5Agk9urBFG1ccTXcA5juaTkBxVMSPQBj0K0HKmlbLR3_cbPABjg1TIWKTaP1EF6Y-2-mbXk816lvQ0tQCt_BnRUw8jh_QuQXXeLW9f8/s1600/Hewitt+original+pose+sm.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3d-5elOFSAMPZM3DoZLdohstK9S3nzvlueP4X5Agk9urBFG1ccTXcA5juaTkBxVMSPQBj0K0HKmlbLR3_cbPABjg1TIWKTaP1EF6Y-2-mbXk816lvQ0tQCt_BnRUw8jh_QuQXXeLW9f8/s320/Hewitt+original+pose+sm.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Note that I have analyzed the volumes cylindrically and I have also found the camera angle from which the photo was taken.<br /><br />
Next
we will break down the image into what would be termed an orthographic
view. WHY? A good practice to know everything you can about something
is to move all the way around it and learn about the 1. balance, 2.
relationships between the pairs - hands - feet - hips - etc. 3. to
completely understand the pose and the action behind the pose.<br />
<br />
Here is the ortho view.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QJG2dnpLhos/UTQX_eoQ6uI/AAAAAAAAC60/BJ-0NKfroKs/s1600/hewitt+pose+analyzed+sm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="127" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QJG2dnpLhos/UTQX_eoQ6uI/AAAAAAAAC60/BJ-0NKfroKs/s320/hewitt+pose+analyzed+sm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This
ortho starts with finding one of the two core shapes directly in line
with the camera. In this case I found the back and built the first
drawing starting with a flat view of the ribcage. From there the other
views were easier to construct. This helps me now totally memorize this
pose so I can now invent it from any new angle I choose. Why so much
work? I cannot ever recreate this moment to shoot it myself, therefore I
must find some way to get into the situation if I am ever to do
anything else with the pose I have as a reference.<br />
<br />
From this I know the weight of the pose, where the center of gravity is, how the limbs balance each other out, etc.<br />
<br />
From this I can proceed to the invented drawing. Here is the finished plate. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakVZr23eQoHA7IYHXuGEhw4iP5DKykxygWaVOe_CwccPJ8C7e6i8ArVvN620XYqFs1_8CxoclnKXrvywKSSCZpIbvlKIpx9JfAE2NaUTub3r222LkclGsCviwSWLrs7APR8m6LiKi97w/s1600/peter+hewitt+imagined+sm.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakVZr23eQoHA7IYHXuGEhw4iP5DKykxygWaVOe_CwccPJ8C7e6i8ArVvN620XYqFs1_8CxoclnKXrvywKSSCZpIbvlKIpx9JfAE2NaUTub3r222LkclGsCviwSWLrs7APR8m6LiKi97w/s320/peter+hewitt+imagined+sm.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I
added grayscale to it so you can see the difference in the spaces with
Photoshop. Again, remember that the camera is positioned under the
largest wheel as if the fullpipe was a clear tube. The face and hands
etc. were detailed out by finding other photos of Peter to complete the
image. This was a possiblity because I took ownership of the pose by
doing a thorough job with examining it and understanding it so I can
manipulate it to my liking.<br />
<br />
More to come on how to do an ortho view.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Local Color-the next part of the color theory formula is
local color. Identifying what color the
object is outside of a light temperature influence. If the hue is saturated it is easier to
identify than if the color is tinted, grayed or pale by any means.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If we think of an apple, a red one, we can think of any
number of reds in the family but some will inherently look warmer, with more
yellow, or cooler, with more blue in them.
When put under the influence of a spot light, we get a warm healthy
looking red. When under the shadow
light, usually blue, we get something that feels cool, cold, and maybe even
crisp. When photographing food it is
important to think about the lighting by color to keep the food looking healthy
and edible, not peaked or decayed, something we would not want to put into us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Local color for flesh varies from race, age and exposure to
the elements. But we can say that most
of the time skin is very neutral by color, maybe even earthen. Flesh is not a color formula, especially
since there are so many colors that can perform similarly when mixed. But, there are other formulas that work well
to help guide the artist to making better mixing decisions.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The reason color is difficult
to teach is because there has been no real formula for getting a color
correct. Some schools teach temperature
but do not give a thorough description.
Many schools teach from an organized well-used palette that has been
traditionally handed down over the years/centuries. Some have learned a specific artists palette
and teach through that. This color
theory I show is a combination of a color technique perfected by Albert Munsell
and altered by Sorolla’s theories by one of my former mentors, Sebastian
Capella and then reinforced by Johannes Itten’s Color Theory. Like I have done with figure drawing, I have
taken several systems and distilled the system down into common traits, unique
functions, and discarded the extraneous.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">So with these two formulas
above, we can go on to finding color and how it works. <br />
One more thing you should know. Without
the understanding of the chemistry behind your paints, there will be a
misunderstanding of mixing colors as some metals and organic stuff do not mix
well, resulting in mud, or a dull version of what you thought would be
something more vibrant or saturated.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">So far we have learned to
identify the color of the light source.
Next we look at what or whom we are going to paint. This helps us with identifying the kind of
palette we might need to accommodate for all the colors to be mixed. More specifically it helps us pick part of
the palette for the local colors of the objects. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">From all of this banter we
can identify a few things about the palette. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> 1. We
need a tinter and a toner of sorts. Some
artists will tell you that no black is necessary on the palette. The primary reason black is not added is
because of the way it dries matte to everything else having some kind of sheen
to it, the sheen being produced from the oils in the paints or the oils added
to the paints. TOOL/RULE: To make black work effectively, always mix a
color into it to help dilute it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> 2. We
need to know the color of the light source to include a color set to
accommodate for its influence on all the local color(s) and for the indirect
light source and its color(s).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> 3. We
need colors that will help the painter achieve a complete spectrum, or to help
the painter paint within the local colors confined to his/her proximity of
view.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the guiding force is this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

need colors that suit my mood and temperament to how I feel about me as a
painter, the world and how I should perceive what I am about to paint and the subject
that stirs my emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">So far, we are looking for
the color of the light, and the color of the object. A helpful hint for any unidentifiable
color: for the studying what we see
before us, or naturalistic lighting/realistic lighting naturally displayed,
identify the color by using temperature as a key we can identify anything to
its root color or original hue. This
means finding within our setting or within the photographic space a clearly
identifiable warm and cool color and comparing them to what you are trying to
identify as a color to mix. This might
seem contradictory to thought at first, but it is a very useful way to pinpoint
a mixture almost instantly when skillfully used. I call this one of the key training wheels in
studying color outside of the theoretical content we must intellectually
understand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Once a local color and once
the light source has been color ID’d, these can be adjusted or modulated
through the process of tinting and shading or graying/toning. This can be done by adding pure gray scale
tones or by any other formula, one of them being adding the color opposite,
however anything outside of adding a tint or tone has the additional need for
understanding which colors chemically we are mixing together to make a perfect
mixture. By adding any old blue to any
old yellow will not always make a green, or make the green we need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today the class has two objectives, the first is to learn
how to separate the color of the light from the color of the object, the second
objective is to learn how to identify the color of anything regardless of how
earthen or garish it may appear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Goal 1. All objects
are lit, regardless of how much or bright the lights may be. A stadium casts multiple shadows, feint but
still visible. Each of these shadow
spaces will be filled with the indirect light, in many cases the night
sky. A direct light source such as a
spot light produces 1 shadow, again, whatever fills the rest of the space,
either fluorescent light, natural light or incandescent light. The brighter the
light, the stronger the contrast between the light and dark, or, the stronger
the battle of color contrast between warm and cool and the direct spot light
will usually win; the weaker the contrast, the greater the chances of the
indirect light filling the shadows with more color, the color of the light
source, in many cases indoors it will be fluorescent light and outdoors it will
be the sky. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you see the color of the light influencing the surfaces
of the subject? What color is the light
source? How much of that color do you
mix to each local color to produce the effect of what you see? What part of the global scape are you
standing in and how much does the direct and indirect light source affect what
you see as a result?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Light falls off in color bands much like how light drops off
in a sunset. As the sun rounds the
planet, the color band raises and drops according to its oblique or
perpendicular alignment with your eyes and the subject.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This color wheel is about identifying a pure hue from
whatever grayed state it might be displayed.
All colors, grayed or other come from some root color or color hue. This color wheel loosely suggests this
through a series of percentages of gray added to the original hue, the gray the
same value to the hue respectively. And,
the hues are delivered in a dynamic way, value related to one another as a
value scale of color. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So remember that the root or our theory starts with the
Munsell system which means we identify color by its:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Hue - pure color state<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Value - its
state of contrast to other color/values<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Chroma - its
purity or dullness of saturation of the original hue<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When looking at this color wheel, the inner wheel is pure
hue, mixed to create a value ratio between colors. The reason for this will be explained
later. As we roll out from the core
ring, we gray the colors with a 25% amount of gray to 75% amount of color for
the middle ring. The outer ring is 75%
gray and 25% color. But regardless of
the percentage of gray added, the mixtures always match the same value as the
root color. This is to keep the wheel
constant for the Impressionists who learned this way to control the newly
saturated hues that were available first time exclusively to them before they
became mass manufactured for everyone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This formula is derived from how the imressionists worked
and spurred on modern formulas invented by Johannes Itten, a brilliant German
Artist and Instructor within the Bauhaus movement. And this will be explained further in later
lessons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The wheel will help an artist identify root colors, color
values, color temperatures, and color harmonizations, all from an impressionist
theory.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This color wheel is mixed from a formula given in a previous
blog entry, but for immediate information the palette is as follows:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Titanium White<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cadmium Yellow Pale<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cadmium Yellow Orange<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cadmium Red Light<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alizarin Crimson<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Red Rose Deep<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ultramarine Blue<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cerulean Blue<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Viridian Green<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ivory Black<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And the original Munsell palette also consisted of Yellow
Ochre, Chromium Oxide Green, and Dioxinine Purple. The dioxinine purple would work against the
red rose deep, the yellow ochre against the yellow pale and the oxide green
against the viridian green to form a perfect palette of color opposites within
each hue of the color wheel, both primaries and secondary’s, the tertiaries are
mixed. This palette goes back to the
1930’s and disappeared from the University System in America during the late
1960’s – the late 1970’s, where it almost all but disappeared from the art
curriculum entirely. There were a few
schools, private ateliers and studio instructors who still held on to this
palette, and fortunately it was printed in book form as well. Otherwise, the scientific approach to color
would be totally trampled by personal palettes and ancient color systems that
worked well for a time but do not connect with how we currently see things.<o:p></o:p></div>
