Willie Nelson II

Aswell (Feb 3, 2006)

This is Willie Nelson's mouth area, with the same reffie I did for Willie's eye.

does anyone else click through the versions and ever think "this is probably as good as i could make it, or this is where i'd leave it if i was doing it." it would probably be version 1 on this for me. i really don't have the patience to make things this good :):)

staci did a series of face pics, you might like to compare or something.

SYTHE (Feb 6, 2006)

Next you'll paint Willies right ear, eventually we'll see his whole face. This is great, I love the attention to detail.

Opium (Feb 27, 2006)

bravo! I meant to comment on this earlier, but when I saw it I was in a school computer lab and some people started giving me the weird eye :) I love the expression and feel you captured Artiste!

I had a hard time thinking of a title for this one.

Simply lovely to look at. Clean, elegant, sensual. The choice of monotone allows you to effortlessly concentrate on the subject without having to subconciously process too much visual information. The detail in the hair sets it all off. Full range of light to dark executed well, would like to have seen a couple more of the darker tones in places.... no, on second thougt, that might take away from it. Really very nice.

davincipoppalag (Jun 5, 2006)

That was a great edit, Rich. The coloration really warmed this up beautifully. Nice to see you drawing

Pantera (Jun 30, 2006)

Windmill

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 29, 2006)

in Victoria, Texas
photo reference used

I have been looking at windmills all my life, but I never realized till painting this how interesting the design really is... it's simplistic, but complicated in a way - really a cool thing. Too bad they are slowly disappearing.

(I never would have had the patience to do this in the old Lascaux, the line tool working well makes alot of things possible now)

Artiste (edited Apr 26, 2006)

Thanks everybody!

Frootcake: I could try out shi. I'll do my next painting in that. I'm a children's book illustrator,
and my agency needed a painting of a 5 yr. old girl, shoulders up for an ad. And I procrastinated
too much and the deadline was yesterday! I figured I could do a quick painting here.
So, I needed it to shrink down to 300dpi for print (that's why its so huge).

All your comments are reassuring, because I was afraid this wouldnt cut it.... looking
at it now I can see that the hair kinda sucks, but oh well.

LisaAnne (Apr 26, 2006)

Great style, and cute subject.

Renuar (Apr 26, 2006)

what a great picture.
it cuts.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)

This is wonderful. I especially love her eyes, how worn and focused they look. The lineless almost comic look to it is really great! I love her hair and the dragons eye! Great drawing.

woah_pockster (Aug 20, 2006)

woah. I love the coloring, this is a hot style, I'm expecting a lot from you =]

Kayos (Sep 18, 2006)

the chick is super hot and the dragon is realy tough looking. I love this everytime I look at it. Very nice, and its realy nice to see a newish kinda dragon. or at least diffrent looking.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)

Get in the Ring

kejoco (Aug 21, 2006)

This might be my most ambitious one yet
Her face still needs some work...she looks like she's already been in a fight

Gemmy619 (Sep 21, 2006)

This is great and i agree the face looks a lot better now, she looked kinda scary in the 1st 3 versions. I think the legs look great too although i wouldnt wanna fight in those shoes lol :)

kejoco (Sep 21, 2006)

haha, thanks
don't worry though, i think she's a lover not a fighter

HunterKiller_ (Sep 21, 2006)

That's pretty hot.

shell (Apr 2, 2010)
