Trying a bit more than a head this time since I have all this canvas space in the advanced section. I'm just going to try to copy the photo directly this time as closely as possible.http://www.kristiaknowles.net/images/gallery/fitness/fit2.jpg I'm not sure I'll get anywhere. Thanks all for the encouragement. [Edit] This is the opposite of what I'm striving to do artistically as my goal is to draw more loosely from references (using information from the reference to make a completely different picture, not drawing the reference) and ultimately without needing references at all, but I wanted to try a shot at being unpainterly and more photorealistic: the antethesis of what I've been trying to do. To get the line drawing and major landmarks as accurately as possible, I initially started with a grid for the line drawing. This allowed me to shade and color more loosely without worrying about correcting inaccuracies from the previous stages. I don't think I quite got there as I still got lazy on the shading and didn't quite interpret the values correctly. It looks correct sized down, but not up close. |

Nothing has been popping out to me from the blank canvas to doodle, so I went back to trying to draw from a photo again, but this time I played around with features even more than usual.Reference photo: http://gallery.amazon.ee/view_photo.php?set_albumName=European_Championships_2005&id=abh I was originally planning to do an orc and sought out a scary-looking bodybuilder for the reference, but I ended up with a wizard instead. This is my first attempt at submitting something in the advanced category. I hope it's okay: I spent ages on it, and I wanted to have the extra space available for revisions since I'm always running out of space.

Wow just..... wow. You belong, believe me.Reminds me of General Zod from Superman. Without the crown. Version 1 looks like a comicbook panel. Version 2 looks like a bronze statue. And the 3rd I mentioned. WOWZERS.

A very interesting discovery zep. I really really like radio head, it is a very solid and lush work. Its strange because i always would associate a natural look (as far as the subjects go) to your works. Not anymore : )

He's been boning up on his routine.. Used a ref for parts....and lots not.
LisaAnne (Apr 8, 2006)
Haha...silly, but I love it!
laurael (Apr 22, 2006)
So you're 'boning' up on drawing skeletons...okay, eww. This made me laugh too! You should do more pun pics...goes with that fun personality of yours.
Kamll (Jan 2, 2007)
Wow.. haha, that's Really cool. And pretty funny too. I'm not so sure about the texturing on the hat... It would probably look better if you textured it manually. But overall, I really like this one.
davincipoppalag (Jan 2, 2007)
Yea...I didnt know how to do that so I used the halftone thingy. lol |

I always know it's a 'zep' without even looking at the name. Wonderful 'zeptacular' work.

in Victoria, Texasphoto 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) |

I pretty much knew this picture wasn't what I should have been doing when I started on it based on my goals, regardless of the grid (though the grid made it that much worse). I set out only to draw the reference as accurately as possible and nothing more. In that sense, it's one of my biggest failures since that's the last thing I want to be doing in the future as I progress. I didn't even try to experiment with painterly techniques - I was trying to be as unpainterly as possible in this one so that it would look just like a photo. Generally I get the most comments about the painterly aspects of my works when working from photos, but this time I really wanted to try not being painterly (I tend to be painterly for economical purposes, not intentionally). I didn't even really achieve the photorealism I intended to achieve despite the use of the grid for the line drawing, so I didn't even succeed in that respect. While it's completely against my personal goals, I still admire the artists on here who can make their paintings look just like a photograph. I was hoping to achieve it here, but I think I deviated too much in the shading and still relied too much on lines which gave that sort of cartoony effect in places.
