Description
Phew this was great practice
On 28th of November I had my mind set on finishing 100 studies of materials. Never knew I was able to finish.
I learned so much about materials, reflection, lighting, colors etc. I would recommend such a practice to anyone.
I started saving the references somewhere halfway so if you would like to have that file for your own practice purposes go to this FB link, click options and than download

Thanks to these studies, I was able to paint these:

The thing I know to take account is how light behaves on matter. Sounds easy to say, tho I guess the true challenge is to apply it.

I just want a big frame on the wall with each of these (real life) elements!

This is very inspiring, both in terms of quantity and quality. I definitely need to do this, painting different materials is one of my many weaknesses.
Also, the little fly sitting on the poo ball gave me a laugh.

I started doing this and it is surprisingly difficult. A good challenge!

Nice going..! Excellent things shown in it, and it's a perfect way to teach people as you do so with the composition as such!

I don't suppose you have a written list of all the materials? I can tell what most of them are, but Id like to do my own studies, this is really getting me into the mood of doing it hehe

Hi Suzanne ! Amazing Job you did there. Last week I had this intern test and my work was turned down. I was feeling a little depressed and came across your journals. It's really Inspiring and motivating ! I'm going to start my own practices. I have a question though, did you paint this in grayscale first or directly in color?
Thank you for making those journals!

We all go through hundreds of turn down before we get a yes
these were done in colour right away

I love these! I'm currently in a class where we have to do all sorts of scary rendering but you make it seem so easy!Β Β

These look pretty amazing! I really like the egg
Did you plan the different materials before you started or did you choose materials as they came to your mind?
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks! I had the first 12 planned and than i kinda had to brainstorm about new ones that didnt' look much alike the ones i did.

thanks for the info!
I already started collecting ideas for myself
And as soon I have time I can fit them in to study ^_^

The textures on this are lovely, what a great way to practice

I'm trying to study materialsmaterials but its so hard and reference won't help me if I dont understand the surface properties. Resources to learn the shiny dull flat reflective properties please??

It's awesome! I come to check this practice more than once, because I really like how you finished them and even the overall composition of all

I only needed about 5 different ones for all of these together.
I see no point in making it harder to keep with one brush, it was all about being able to paint the material in as little as time as possible without loosing the information of it.
It's a skill needed even when doing photobashed images in other projects, this way you can fix materials by painting them because this study teaches you how materials work
(lol this was more talk than you asked for XD )

Perfect!Thank you for taking your time answering me. It's an issue in which I have no fixed habits, sometimes I try too much brushes and don't find which I want, and another I use one or two, and later I notice I should have used more, hehe, so I am trying to review this kind of exercise. And yes, definitely it would help with a lot of kind of works, from colorful illustration to realistic photobashing. Thank you, Suzanne!
