That was a very bold decision indeed to do the hair red, but I am amazed, going through your first photos I expected some rather abstract hair interpretation.. so I was surprised (in a good way:) even though abstract hair is also cool) how it turned out!! It is also very cool to see all the steps it took you to get there, when I work with pencils I neevaa do so many layers, (just have a really different stile of drawing) so its nice to observe the steps behind a technic I dont know or use.. also I am amazed how your "high quality printing paper":)) endures this whole process:)
it is interesting you mentioned this quote from kandinsky, I think it was him with the color theory of witch color has what character or maybe franz mark but i think they worked together (well I am not sure, thats some fading memories of art history that sticks somewhere in my head because I found it inspiring lol)
About Luci, that is amazing, well if the relationship keeps on building up like that I am sure she`ll sit on your shoulders very soon.. lets hope! well then I wish you all the best for the last part in this piece, will we see some blue or maybe green? have fun!:)

Yes, i was going to go with something more abstract originally for the hair. When it was just the orange and red it had that kind of abstract feel and i didn't care for it. After blending the orange into the red and vice versa i think it kept some abstract qualities but added a bit of realism i felt was missing to coordinate with the figures.
Layers like this generally do much better on a thicker heavier paper with more texture to have the pencil grab on to. So, i am surprised this paper has held up as well as it has so far... all things considered. This paper seems to have a limit where the blending plateaus and then it will just remove the color and possibly damage the paper if i take it too far. I have reached that limit in many areas and it's frustrating since i wanted to go just a bit further in some areas.
I was able to get a high quality short video or two of me and Luci yesterday. I will add that to the final post when the time comes.
I didn't pay as much attention in my art history classes as i should have! hahaha I didn't even know who Kandisky was or is... so thanks for sharing that information... even if it is only half remembered. That's a whole half better than my knowledge of it! hahaha
I appreciate you taking the time to read and reflect on all that i've written in these two posts. It means a lot to me. And since you suggested... perhaps we may see a little bit of blue or green or maybe a bit of both. I will have to see how i can fit it in! =) Take Care my Friend!
Well I am happy you appreciated my comment:)) so I am looking forward to see Luci!
and well hopefully the paper is going to make it until the end then... Cheers:)
Hahahaha Yes, Hopefully so!
