Practical Task - Realism and Art Nouveau

 Inthe task I had to produce a full length portrait of a clothed figure in color. I picked the photo refeerence on Pinterest and I chose to use color pencils to do the task.

I felt that in the process I knew how to blend the color better. Color pencils aren't like water color that we can mix the color until we feel that's right before painting on the paper. I had to analyze the combination of color first and chose several simliar color pencil to draw layer by layer.

Reference ( from Pinterest)

As for the color palette I hardly used black, since I wanted to make the whole piece look vibrant and warm, I referenced the shadow of the white shirt and hat, which was blue blending with purple. I also tried to use the combination to paint the shadow on the ground instead of black so that the tone of all in the scene was consistent.

One of the point I felt that I could improve was the trouser, I felt that I didn't make the contrast (left should be darker) look obvious, and also the ankle. Maybe that's the reason why that part didn;t look realistic.
