Notes about photos
Of course, it is difficult to draw from the head, I do not yet have such an intricate imagination, so I'm learning to transmit something that already has its proportions and appearance. And for this I search Steemit, Golos, pinterest trying to find what I can take as a basis.
And that's what I would like to share. The lion's share of photos is not suitable. And although I myself do not understand anything in photography, but for such as I there is the best way to learn the art of composition - it is to imagine your photo on the wall and framed. Is the image complete in form and content?
Secondly, the flowers ... sometimes sluggish, sometimes with heavy angles, sometimes with a terrible background (it is clear that it is blurred, but the size and background color could make a complete image). On the Golos there are a couple of people who have the most photos that I really like, but sometimes the plot does not cling, or the colors, or the flowers themselves are thin. But some I take for myself and, of course, upvote them ;)
Thirdly, the perspective. When I decided to take some kind of architecture and learn the perspective, I chose our church of the 12th century, as the architecture of Kyivan Rus is extremely simple and ... (importantly!) walls can be not even in those buildings. But only almost all the pictures of the Kaniv cathedral that I can google ... lie in one direction or the other. And you can not learn the perspective on them. Just to invent according to the rules.
In general, city photos, where the horizon is not visible, lie very often, because it does not occur to anyone to check verticals and perspective, it seems.
Fourth, this is the coolest. I have rather high standards of beauty. In my entire life, I've found fewer beauties than fingers on one hand - Ornella Muti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charlize Theron and secretary Nastya from Belarus. But then suddenly it became clear that drawing Nastya was terribly boring, she had just classic even features. Although with the human I still have to learn and learn. But whether it's a film of some kind, in which the nose is humpbacked by a person, then the face is small, and the torso is large, then the brow is overhanging, wrinkles are again on the forehead, not only horizontally, but vertically as well. That's where I sigh every five minutes that I want to learn how to portray this !!!
In films, by the way, generally great pictures come across, just like pictures, with a background, with a statement ... but of course they are taught this :) I will some time use stop frames.
