So my original plan for my concentration was to do a series of portraits centered around the theme of birds. I wanted to use feathers and play around with textures and such in a way that isn't extremely literal. I still plan to do so however I'm currently trying to tweak that idea and finish up with planning it. In the meantime I ended up using the bird theme for my self portrait though a little different from what I have imagine for my possible concentration. I don't know if I integrated the bird into the shot well enough so if more shading and tweaking is needed, please let me know.
I think the bird needs a bit more tweaking...by his beak especially is where I feel the bird doesn't feel as connected...
ReplyDeleteAlso, is there any way to lighten up your back eye? It's so dark compared to the front eye that maybe a little lightening up (keep it darker, but adding a slight highlight to bring out a bit of the eye) will help us see you a bit more. Otherwise it just fades out really quickly and then you have all that negative space to the right...I think if the back eye was a little lighter it could help balance out you and the negative space more.
