This month's painting, The Autumn by Alphonse Mucha, is a perfect palette as we slide out of summer and right into fall. Don't you think? Unlike past challenge palettes, which usually featured a bunch of different colors, this month's challenge painting has colors in a fairly narrow range, focusing mostly on shades of orange and yellow. The browns and tans you see all come from those two colors, so these would be a great base for your own color schemes. Stay on the medium to light side for these to better match the source painting. To keep things interesting, there are touches of red and green in The Autumn, too. Out of all the swatches I pulled, the red is the darkest shade, so use that as a guide for your own work and go with darker reds. If you're following the distribution of color in the painting, use that darker red only sparingly. As for the greens, there are a few different shades - the two I picked were my favorites. Behind the oranges and yellows, green would be used the third-most, and range from very light sage greens to a darker forest green. But like red, there are touches of green everywhere, but they are just touches, so use them purposefully. I hope this helps you create your challenge pieces this month!

Day 5 - Noses and Ears Welcome to Day 5 of the Character Challenge. So far, we have played with different shaped heads, created characters 2-4 years old, learned how eyes can change the emotion of a character, and worked on characters 5-8 years old. Below are links to the previous Cha-Cha posts: Day 1: Head Shapes Day 2: Toddlers 2-4 years old Day 3: All About Eyes Day 4: 5-8 year olds The Nose: Noses are fun to draw because they come in soo many different shapes and sizes. You can create anything from a tiny nose or a giant nose. Small Nose Large Nose There are also angled pointy noses that are triangle shaped: Here are several other nose shapes to try on your characters: The Ears: Since this is not a life drawing class and we are designing characters, don't go for anatomical accuracy on the ears. In my college classes, I was told that ears are between the eyes and nose and are this size and stick out this much and blah ditty blah blah. Our characters can have whatever kind of ears we want. Some boys have ears that stick out, some are flat against the head. Some girls have tiny ears, some are giant. Choose a size and shape of ear that compliments who your character is (this is why we were thinking about this stuff at the beginning, too). There are a couple different aspects of ear design - the outside shape and the inside shape. Christopher Hart demonstrates this page of examples of those differences: Your female characters may be getting earrings as we get into older ages and these earrings also tell the viewer about your character. Is she wearing a tiny star or a giant dangle earing? Is there a skull or demon hanging off her ear or a rainbow? Continue working on characters who are between Kindergarten and 3rd grade age but try some different noses and ears and see what you like. Have fun! Come back tomorrow for the prompt about our next age group.
