The Render Agenda

5 November 2012

Rendering was this week's practice session and I found it quite useful. But I seem unable to make decisions. It was easy to spot the more-effective and least-effective colouring when they were pinned on the wall at Avery Hill but now I have done some at home I can't decide which is best. I asked two members of my family which they liked and they chose two different ones, and I had already sort of chosen the third. Here are two, but for some curious reason I am unable to upload the third as it tells me the 'server has rejected'. I guess this might be a message from some divine power, telling me it wasn't great. Oh, and I seem to have acquired a block of two-tone grey under my rendering pictures. 

The left is rendered in pastel pencils and the right using marker pens. I think perhaps I preferred the third, which has now graced the page with its presence. It is coloured using Super Ferby colouring pencils. I need more greens though as the two I have don't look great together. The pastel pencils were by far the quickest to use - but also the messiest and very easy to smudge and spread where they aren't required.

An interesting exercise anyway, and I feel I'm not quite so 'precious' about colouring neatly now.
