Mid Point Review's Feedback

On Mid Point review I presented my artwork 'Trinity'. I got really nice suggestions and feedback which would help me to develop my work. I was really stuck on colouring process. My classmates saw my some fail colouring experiments and suggested me to try linework using colours or even I can use screen printing methods and get it print in different colours. It is really nice idea to work it out. Even they told me to use colour wash and draw illustration on those colours. These are some of the notes and comments I got on Mid Point review-

1. What about printing in color instead of coloring separate bits of the illustration?

2. Think about the color philosophy. Coloring brings out recognizable things within the illustration.

3. You could try random blocks of color on top of which to add your illustration instead of coloring the        illustration itself.

4. Naturalistic approach – It’s best to use your own statement instead of following traditional norms in terms of coloring especially (this will help in terms of contextualizing your piece within the modern context as well)

What if you add color to the line work itself? Might be good idea to use earthy colors instead of magical, heavenly ones

5. Might use different colors depending on the thickness of the line?

6. Blowing the piece up might change the characters, therefore it’s a good idea to blow them up and add more details afterwards (work on top of the already existing characters)

7. Screen printing? Would it affect the quality of the detail work?

8. Would it be a good idea to add a bit of breathing space between the figures, because it is a bit difficult to get the whole richness of the piece otherwise?

9. Does it need depth or would it be more like a pattern/wallpaper?

10. The artwork possesses baroque and rococo art qualities because of its richness and intensity.

11. Technically impressive/eye for detail, therefore be more ambitious and push your work even further

12. Ask yourself how can it be used for example? As murals or wallpapers maybe?
