ITT: Your favorite styles of rendering.Chris Van Allsburg uses graphite powder to get this dreamlike effect.
whatever odd nerdrum was doing
Wish I knew how he did it (I haven't studied it yet though, I'm not ready for it anyway)
>>7731957Dalla Rayburn is pretty good at it tooIf you like that, Sverre Malling and Lewis Chamberlain should be right up your alley.
Florent Chavouet
>>7732076Insane.
>>7731957There’s a digital portrait artist who only uses round soft brushes and everything she does ends up so dreamlike, it’s really neat
What does rendering even mean? Is it just how you draw light and shadows?
>>7733897It just means shading, but usually implies layering in lots of values. Some ateliers spend like 90% of their time on rendering because it's such a complex process if you want a high degree of realism.
>>7733898So can a black and white drawing with ink have rendering too or is it just something a "painterly" style can have?
>>7733908You can definitely render with ink, but most people would just call it "shading".
>>7733926Does pic related have rendering? Because that's a style I really like. Just clean line art with solid black shading.
>>7732019Early to mid Caravaggio got fed up with trying to learn glazing and went in alla prima more or less, late Caravaggio went back to glazing, a lot of grey, dark but NOT black mixing into the figures with shadows but never direct black.A lot of people find this technique to be among the most useful, I personally never got around to it because I found that it was reliant on knowing exactly where to place shadows, which is why he always worked with models, in fact he was one of the first to directly paint from a model. Before then unless it was a portrait and these were always small and one person type stuff, artists would work from drawings and not models directly.
