Experimenting with different techniques of painting - trying to paint more and more loosely with less regard for accuracy and also trying not to use small detail brushes until later. Used a reference with different colors and weaker lights.Shoot I stuck this image in the wrong section. It was supposed to go in intermediate. I've asked Maiko if it could be moved. Sorry about that.

I like the bronzy look of this one.

Amazingness! You're indeed a talent. I love your work.

Trying some more in this very opaque, loose style from a photo of Tilda Swinton (very beautiful actress). I'm not sure I can pull it off this time.- Couldn't really pull it off this time. I ended up repainting it with a focus on details instead and did a value study; pretty much a failure since I couldn't do it the way I intended.

Thanks all for the comments. I have mixed feelings about this one - I don't completely dislike the end result (though I ran out of space before I got started on the hair again), but it was really a cop out as I reverted back to a style that was comfortable to me. I wanted to paint once again in the style of my earlier picture, and this time things just didn't seem to click like they did before. I think part of it is because I went even bolder this time with the contrast - the last time I built up more gradually with the tones. I also think it was a mistake to go with a celebrity before I had this technique down since I started becoming too concerned about having some sense of likeness (the last one doesn't resemble the person in the photo, but that didn't bother me since I didn't know who he was and didn't have a very good feel for how he looked). That also made me start thinking more about lines again which is something I wanted to avoid. The last one also had very prominent shadows and I could feel the form coming out of them even when I was just painting with two colors. I ended up redoing most of this picture and became a slave to the photo again. I'm going to have to keep trying harder before I can get this technique down.

This dude is smart.

I keep coming back to this to look at the eyes. The whole thing works but I think the eyes are magnificent.
Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)
Yes yes, quite so. I would most assuredly agree. |

Just trying to find something in the mess.Out of space so I'll call it finished. Added some more texture and redid mouth.

Jeebus , I think you found it!
Sweetcell (Mar 19, 2006)

Found a photo with some interesting lighting. Trying to draw it with some experimental coloring.Doh, I ran out of space again.

Lovely, warm, and impressionistic. These are a few of my favourite things..... I feel like I know who she is but it hasn't quite hit me yet.
Gigge (Mar 19, 2006)
I think this is my favorite of the pieces you have posted on this site. It's so warm and beautiful and the expression, pose, and composition are very appealing.
suzie (Mar 19, 2006)
Oh my, I like this so very much..her pose and how her hair falls are both interesting, plus the colours you have used give this such richness..I can almost feel the warmth in it from here.. :D
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 19, 2006)
This resembles a very pretty Asian woman I know named Lily.... very soft and warm, I like this style. |

Anime and mange aren't really my thing, but I'm giving it a shot.Trying some more with this anime-style picture.
pandabarrie (Mar 12, 2006)

DoOp (Mar 18, 2006)

Kallasilya (Mar 18, 2006)

Was just scribbling when I came across this charming fellow. Guess I'll see how he turns out.Removing lines I don't like. Added simple background. I know the neck is funny, but that was intentional: it just feels right to make this deformed looking tangly tree-kinda neck for this guy.
Added some final touches.
Decided to tweak things a little more.
DoOp (edited Mar 14, 2006)
omg! the NOSE! protrudes xD but i'm guessing it's what makes this picture special :) and awesome XD wooh! |

It's like a skull, I guess. I'm not sure. I just wanted to make some fun skullish monster.Doh, I reached the 750Kb limit.. I guess this last revision will have to be final. Emphasizing lines I like and adding more texture and shading.
DoOp (Mar 13, 2006)
XD you could always as a mod to give you more room to draw?^^; but this looks cool :)
darkshadow (Mar 14, 2006)
i think it stands well as it is really a big fan of your sketch work makes me think of an allen from star wars |

A paladin woman, I guess.Reached the 750Kb limit - guess I should mark it as finished then. It's pretty flat - I re-did a lot of the contours. I was hoping to add some depth back into it, but oh well.
Gigandas (Mar 14, 2006)
If you run out of space, you can always ask a mod.....if you asked me which mod I'd prefer to get more space, I'd say Maiko.http://cellosoft.com/2draw/users/Maiko Go under 'memo' on that page and you can ask for more space if you're ever out :).
Noremac (Mar 14, 2006)
reminds me of trishTrying to get something out of this junk.

For some reason I couldn't draw any strokes at this point so I'm going to resume. It's some perverted advisor.I found out that if I toggle antialiasing on and off, it lets me draw again whenever I get stuck. |
