TumblingUpwards (Feb 9, 2010)

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. :p
But 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.

dramatic. :) I agree with flubbles in that it definitely would have more impact on a bigger canvas, but it's still wonderful work.

firecracker (Feb 8, 2010)

very nice.....those clouds are awesome! :)

mursku (Feb 8, 2010)

thanks guys. i was just aiming to do quick 20-30 min landscape studies, so if i had had managed to draw this in under 30 minutes it wouldn't have been allowed on the other boards

vlad.the.hamster (Feb 8, 2010)

She does remind me of someone, though I can't place who. Beautiful as always. :)

Roytje (Feb 8, 2010)

It isn't someone famous. Thanks for the comments :)

vlad.the.hamster (Feb 8, 2010)

Yeah, I wasn't thinking of someone famous, but she definitely does remind me of someone. :)
