I think I could have more contrast between the two examples. I varied on how I got each hue between colors, sometimes the related colors would have black or white added, and sometimes it would just be different ratios of colors. then I just shaded a bit more and did some outlines with black. If I added a background, that would also provide a bit more contrast between the two.
Joel, I like the picture you selected for this project. It is clear that the picture on the right has less value than the one of the left. Maybe lighter blue on the bottom of the knight would have made that contrast more obvioius. Nice work. Alica
I think you did an excellent job with this exercise and I really like the paintings. My one suggestion would be to add background colors that push the contrast even further. Other than that, I think you did great creating images with contrasting light and dark palettes.
