Master Copy #1 - Josh Kirby
mursku
(Feb 16, 2010)
i was thinking that i might learn more from copying some great paintings instead of fotos. For my first one, i chose one of my favorite artists, Josh Kirby, to copy from. He was a really great artist, but its a bit difficult to find a good painting from him to copy, as he tended to do those really detailed paintings (especially on the Discworld books) for reference i chose one of his simpler paintings: http://andokai.blog.cz/0608/josh-kirby

You sweet people don't know Hercule Poirot? The famous Belgian detective from the Agatha Christie books? I devoured those books when I was still in school and still enjoy them. Must say he looks more tan than the actor who has played this character most. Good job none the less :D.

thanks :)heh, i was having trouble with painting the head. it never looked right (the actor has this really strange looking face!).. ..so in the end i just gave up trying to make him look like the actor :(

...but it does look like David Suchet. I spotted it from the thumb! I can't stand Agatha Christie's writing but for some reason the Brits are always able to make her work seem much more interesting and well written in their dramatizations of it. Joan Hicks made Miss Marple into a great character the same as Suchet has done with Poirot. Peter Ustinov and Albert Finney were also really good Poirots, IMHO. |

I like when someone can create a drawing that is more relaxed and paintery styled, photo realism is stiff and not always considered art but thievery. I wish I could draw or paint like this, maybe in time or as I practice, we'll see. This is really beautiful, keep up with 'your' style!
vlad.the.hamster (Feb 9, 2010)
I love the more painterly styles, too, just that photorealism is easier. :pBut I'm loving all your stuff so far. They're awesome.
mursku (edited Feb 9, 2010)
i wouldn't say photo realism is easier, its just that to paint in a photo realistic style you need to use photo reference more often. When drawing from a photo reference, the guy who paints in a simplified style needs to think how the forms look in real life. On the other hand the guy who paints photo realistic stuff, doesn't need to understand how things look in real life. He just needs to be able to copy what he sees. But a skilled artist that has a bit more simplified style will be able to be much faster than the photo realistic artist.Also the thing about photo realistic artists doing stiff art, isn't exactly true. It's just that i think the artist that has a better understanding of how the forms he is painting would look like in 3D, will be able to push his characters in a more dynamic poses, than the artist who only knows how things look from a limited number of angles.

Well, it's just that I know more people that can copy a photo exactly and can't draw/paint anything without one, but I get what you're saying. |
