Playing around with composition with these sketches. Trying to get this right before throwing down any paint.
Not sure If this is right yet or not. May be enough to get started painting though. Thanks to Rogie, George Coghill and Dave Mott for keeping me in check.
I think the two figures (sorry, don't know their names) look a bit disjointed from Tim Burton. What if the skeleton put a hand on Tim's shoulder and the girl was more in front of him?
Not to mess with your art, it's just something I noticed.
Looks great!
Andrea, thanks. I tried that early on in the studies but didn't like it. I want them to feel like they are behind him and a bit back. That'll become more evident in the painting with color and lighting. I didn't get too detailed with the values on Jack and Sally so that may be why it feels disconnected.
Nightmare is my favorite movie and I don't usually do fan art but thought I'd give it a whirl.
Time to put this away for a while now. I've been steadily working on this over the holiday break and need to move on to other projects. There's a lot the bugs me about it so I'll make a list and revisit next week/month/year. Who knows.
