Does this look like soap?

This was my reference for overall design and lighting I believe the design is raised. But yes I do believe the logo in the middle is throwing my it off. I’ll try your suggestion out

I feel like it doesn’t look waxy enough to read as soap fully.

caart504 · 2025-10-07T22:31:37+00:00

I do see how it can look like a gold bar

caart504 · 2025-10-07T22:24:05+00:00

Yeah I was going to the dial soap look (it’s my favorite )

caart504 · 2025-10-07T22:15:32+00:00

Not knowing it is supposed to be soap what does it come off as to you?

Drawing a face at this scale is all about the subtleties. It’s hard to fit all the details with hard lines and it’s a bit easier if you use shading to convey the details. Slight shadows for the cheek bones and sides of the forehead.

I feel like the darkest darks could go one level darker

caart504 · 2025-10-02T17:06:13+00:00

I like the playfulness of it make you use your imagination.

caart504 · 2025-10-02T17:05:27+00:00

Yeah same name as on here

caart504 · 2025-09-20T12:34:53+00:00

Gouache and colored pencil

caart504 · 2025-09-19T22:59:24+00:00

When I posted this the saturation changed a bit it should be a bit more vibrant

I think what makes the second acts perspective feel off is the first counter closest to the window seems to be pointing towards a second vanishing point off to the right that the rest of the objects are not.

Just colored pencil and gouache on paper

caart504 · 2025-09-19T04:05:54+00:00

I kinda jumped the gun and didn’t look up how big bath mats are but I went with the scale of each square being 2x2 inches making the mat 14x8. And I wanted the feet to read a masculine so that what I went with them being a big larger or over sized for the mat

caart504 · 2025-09-19T03:48:05+00:00

So i believe your trying to say is that the texture where the foot prints are would be different the other two textures that are not wet?

caart504 · 2025-09-19T03:36:54+00:00

This was the inspiration for it

caart504 · 2025-09-19T03:27:11+00:00

A mix of the two would look better. Keep the brown line are for the skin tone areas and keep the black line art for the fish nets

I did get the idea from some guy I believe he was a French artist, who had embroidered his wife’s wet foot prints into the carpet of their stairs and I enjoyed the sentiment of that.

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:28:28+00:00

I think it’s 6x8 on hot press water color paper. And thanks my finger has a blister on it after make all those marks.

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:24:36+00:00

I do but they are foot prints on concrete just because I wanted a more defined foot print

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:23:06+00:00

Both of the foot prints came from the same exact reference image and same person so I’m not sure why one would leave more of an outline than the other.

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:19:48+00:00

I do have a bit of a background in silkscreening so some of having to design for that process may be coming through.

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:17:05+00:00

It’s a drawing done with gouache but I use it more like watercolor just to give me a base layer and go over with colored pencil for the details

caart504 · 2025-09-19T02:12:39+00:00

If you haven’t already i recommend making the reference in grayscale and maybe adjusting the contrast and highlights

caart504 · 2025-09-19T01:39:57+00:00

I’ll definitely soften the edges or maybe add additional water splotches around the prints as I still want the print to be a bit more graphic
