In Class #4: Process 4

I finished my painting and I am very happy with how it turned out. Although it could be a bit cleaner in some places and a little better executed, i am really happy with the drama of the lighting and the mood of the piece. the mushrooms and the bark turned out even better than I thought they would, even though you can't really see the detail in the bark that well from the picture. I was very nervous for how the eye on the right would turn out because there was such a big shadow over part of it, but I am really happy with it. I think how i went about it was pretty good. I am also happy with how the hair turned out in the shadows where it really isn't in the light. Overall I am happy with this piece!

i painted the frame and i am very happy with how it turned out. It was very fun to paint, but it took a while. I am almost finished with the piece. I just need to finish the glass, which I am apprehensive of, but excited. I also glazed over some of the flowers in her hair so that the ones cast in shadow aren't as light as the other ones. I am really happy with this piece and it is so much fun to see it glitter at certain angles.

I didn't really do a lot to this painting, just painted the background which took a while because i had to so multiple coats and let them dry and i had to be very careful around the edges. The hardest part was to decide what to do with the butterfly because the back wing was practically the same color of the background, so i just added a rim of gold and painted the antennae gold like some of the other parts so that you could see them. I also painted the hair, and I am very happy with how the hair turned out. I also started painting the frame a bit, just the first coat of yellow, but i forgot to take a picture of it and it is not much different from the orange frame.

I painted everything orange in order to have a nice base color to work on top of. then i went in with some of the darker colors in order to establish the location of the darks and start working on the background. I will need to do a second coat for most of the background and refine some of the edges as well, but I am happy with the progress so far. I have also started working on the bark, but it was kind of frustrating because the paint wasn't drying as fast as i wanted it to. So i had to take a few breaks to let some of the paint dry before going back in and working on it.

I will work in some ligher values into the bark so you can actually tell what it is.

MEDICAL ILLUSTRATOR 

Picture
  Medical illustrators work with doctors, scientists and other specialists to help bring to life a visual representation of complex information for the purpose of education, research, patient care/education, and even public relations. Oftentimes, these medical illustrators specialize in particular fields/faucets of medicine for example, prothstetics, ophthalmological illustration, and forensic reconstructions. They can even become content experts and are authors/co-authors to textbooks and journals.
    Angela Montenegro from the TV show Bones could be considered an example of this profession in media: she primarily works on facial reconstruction, where using a skull she can approximate the face to run through facial recognition software in missing persons databases.
    They need to be highly skilled in a variety of media, like drawing, painting, skulpture, and especially graphic arts. They also need to have a strong anatomical and scientific knowledge in order to accurately represent the body in their artwork. Furthermore, there is a high need for clear communication. There needs to be clear communication between the employer and the artist so that their vision/what they need accomplished is met, and there needs to be clear visual communication between the artwork and the viewer, so they understand clearly what the illustration is portraying.
    To be a medical illustrator, you need an undergrad degree, I don’t think it matters what the degree is in but it is probably more beneficial for the person to have a degree in science or art, or take lots of classes in both. However, they need to complete a two years graduate course to get a Master’s degree of Arts in Medical and Biological illustration. There are only a handful of schools that are accredited by CAAHEP: John Hopkins, Augusta University, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Toronto.

Earning Potential
"The median salary for a medical illustrator / animator in the U.S. is $70,650 and can range up to $173,000. Those with interdisciplinary skills in UX design who create apps and AR / VR experiences are in demand and earn $74,880 - $98,000. Adept professionals who advance their role to art director or creative director earn between $89,000 - $122,000 and up to $250,000 (2018 AMI survey data). About 48% of salaried illustrators supplement their income with freelance work."                                                                           
                                                                                                                                            -- Association of Medical Illustrators

I spent monday fleshing out the idea and taking pictures so that i had nice reference photos with lots of contrast. Ill try to put in the thumbnail later but im not sure how to at the moment. 

 On wednesday i gridded it out and sketch everything. I accidentally drew everything a line down, so the piece is centered lower that i originally planned, but it should be fine, its not that much of a problem and i had already finished most of it when i noticed so it wasn't worth erasing everything and redrawing it.
​
I am happy with the direction it is going and excited that i am finally using this canvas. I got it a year ago(i think)  and i have never gotten the chance to use it. I am excited for how it will turn out although i will need to do some shroom studies because the reference pictures i have of the mushrooms don't have anywhere close to the right lighting so i am going to have to play around with that. And the bark too. I am excited for how this will turn out-- the shadows are really weird so they are going to be fun to work out. :))
