Reflections: The LJ Entry

[databank]

As some of you know, for a while now I've been pondering putting my photography and stick figure skills to good use as an illustrated tutorial for artists who might need some help on working with reflections

I think a tutorial like this would be really interesting - as I've never seen one done for reflections before, and I do try to include reflections to indicate shiny surfaces often in my work (though I don't usually go so far as to illustrate mirrors, as I'm not *that* confident.

I think it would be helpful to hear a critique about one or more of my more recent works which have included reflections, but I'm hesitant/nervous about a public critique/scrutiny, because, even though it would be by a friend, to help, I have gotten a lot of negative attention by strangers in the form of anonymous 'critiques', so it just makes me nervous what elements people would begin to pick on me for in anonymous boards. (if they haven't thought of picking on me for X, I'd rather not give them the idea to ^.^, if that makes sense) But of course I want to sharpen my inner eye and improve my work in any way I can. And of course reflections are challenging.

Perfectly understandable, there! The biggest challenge to a reflection is understanding the changes in perspective you've got to do for them.

I'll come up with something and send it to you. Any preferences for image?

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
