Y'know what's fun? Working in a good amount of different styles, but my friends still know my art at a glance and I wish they could put words to what it is about it that they recognize.
Hmm prolly some combo of all of it plus maybe composition? I know I naturally lean towards the rule of 3 really heavily and always have (you can break my canvas in thirds and find focus points at those lines) but it's just interesting. I used to think it was how I colored with prismas but it still happens so yeh thinking harder about it.
Some of my old large colored pencil pieces (the tombstone mixed in watercolor pencils, the rest were pure prismacolor) why yes I burnish blended to excess XD
oh, definitely. there's some distinct consistencies in some of the coloring, and how you're doing the faces here.... and the range of lights and darks....
Funny story about the range? When I was younger I colored/shaded everything super light, but back in elden days(the 90s) of high school a teacher took my pencil and colored a line of almost black in one of the darkest points. It was.. not a good moment. But it definitely had a lasting impact for the better despite that.
totally understandable. I think there's usually a difference in perspective between a lot of art teachers and their students. a lot of the teachers I've seen tended to go on the "they're just practicing" assumption, while a lot of the students look at even their practice, and decide "I'm working on a thing I already love"... which makes for ...interesting
not saying the range is a bad thing, though - sometimes, that's actually to a picture's credit, depending on what the intention/style is. but it's definitely kinda distinctive.
