Sketchbook Thread of Iridyse

[Rebeccak]

Iridyse,

Fantastic to see your thread go up! Welcome. :) I really look forward to seeing you dazzle us with your paintings. :)

I would invite you to create a painting tutorial for the forum any time that you feel so inclined.

Please feel free to post here work you have done from previous OFDWs. Looking forward to seeing much more of your work!

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

I'd love to see a painting tutorial from you. Saw your first torso now and your other work earlier today. Awesome I must say. I like the style.

Great colors on this one. Looking forward to more. Maybe even some pencil sketches, m? :)

[Iridyse]

Rebeccak: Thank you so much for the warm welcome! :) I'd love to make a tutorial, just let me figure out how to write it out without adding extra nonsense :D

razz: Thank you! Pencil sketches would be great :D I lost my full Imperial board though(don't ask me how, it seems to have just disappeared), so it will be a little awkward to draw on smaller pages. But I'm definitely looking forward to doing some pencil sketches too :)

Oh wow!!, here comes Super Shreya, I love to see your work here, that torso stuff is amazing, I love it, also your texturized brushes are sooo cool, (I want them :P), I hope as your thread in the wip section this new thread becomes in a instant hit, good luck in your new gallery here.

[Iridyse]

Thank you so much Sol! *hug* Here are the brushes (Photoshop CS2) : http://jerry.isilando.com/stuff/shreya-texbrushes.zip

The first is from Goro's set, the rest are mostly mine :)

Something a bit older, from July 2006 I think.
I've been meaning to do a tutorial/walkthrough of this image, here are the images for now :)

Ah, I love Bouguereau <3 A copy of the most gorgeous portrait EVER.

No overpaint/colour picking/tracing etc etc done. I think it is pretty evident from the steps, but I thought I'd clarify since I was asked that once :) I think the best colour effects come from layering (glazing/scumbling). The images are pretty big, my apologies for that. But I think it was better this way since it is clearer what has been done in each step :)

The steps:

[umbrellasky]

wow this is gorgeous! Great work on the skintones!!

[mynti]

Really nice work on the torso drawings - and the walkthrough is amazing, keep it up!

[razz]

The colors are great from the very beggining. And it starts to look very good in the first steps. What can I say, you know what you're doing. I like the way you've got the texture there. With sort of a camelhair brush. Amazing work, the least I can say. One of the best master studies I've ever seen.

[Iridyse]

enialadam: Thank you so much! :)

mynti: Many thanks :)

razz: Thanks! I'm rather pleased with the textures. I learnt a lot while painting this:) I have a link to my brushes in my earlier post if you would like to try them out :)

[Rebeccak]

Iridyse,

You definitely have to post a separate Tutorial thread for that gorgeous Bouguereau copy! :thumbsup:

It would be great if you created a Tutorial here:

Tutorials and Workshops (http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=199)

and called it TUTORIAL - What it's about - by Iridyse

-And definitely please post your images inline so that we can see them - such gorgeous work shouldn't be hidden! :)

Amazing stuff - looking forward to seeing sparks fly from this thread! :)

Cheers,

-Rebeccak

[NR43]

damn you nowI have to find some really strong tape to fix my jaw back to my head :p :D
I'm amazed by the subtility in your color usage

[anandpg]

Hi Shreya!

Amazing work! Wish I could paint like that. mind telling us were you studied art?

[Intervain]

uguereau <3



same here! Great job on that study :bounce: beautiful colours!

oh and a gorgeous thread in all :)

[Thomasphoenix]

I used your brushes for my new frazetta copy! thank you shreya:)

[DigitalSol]

hehe, Hey Shreya you are really in a rocket, your work just dont stops and all of all is so good, I like to visit your thread almost all the days, keep rocking estrella!!

[Iridyse]

mazalo: Thank you! I love your work :)

Rebeccak: I will, I will! I'm just feeling lazy to edit/type.The images are pretty big dimension wise, so I didn't inline them :D Thank you so much for the encouragement!

NR43: Hehe, thank you so much!

anandpg: Thank you! I studied at Sir J.J.School of Arts, Mumbai. I graduated in May 2006:)

Intervain: Thank you so much! Bouguereau rocks! I'm considering doing another copy, of La Vague! :D

Thomasphoenix: Ah, how wonderful! I'm really glad that someone's using it! :D

DigitalSol: Hello stranger! Where are your works? :P

I've been feeling rather guilty about not doing more torsos (damn I'm slow), so here's another quickie. I think I really like doing copies. It really lets me focus on the colours and texture (and experiment with brushes) without giving me a headache. Whee! A friend (the one who has been sweet enough to host the brushes and images) thinks I have it in me to be a professional forger, hahaha.But, it would be SO cool to do a master copy in one of the museums methinks, with a laptop and all ;)

[anandpg]

Great work on St. Sebastian, Shreya... Shadow areas could use some work, though. Your colors are great!:applause:

[zng-Y]

gees.... marry me!

[batte812]

Amazing painting skills! Tha portrait of Bougerau looks fantastic. Keep on going.

[Zephyri]

Wow, that bougereau copy is amazing... just.. wow.. All of your pieces are, you have that wonderful sense of light and colour and mass, just makes the things pop out of their colour they sit against. Enviable and very, very inspiring.

[shyamshriram]

Great going Shreya !
Man..that head study :eek:


Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

Hi, Shreya,

I don't think I knew you had a sketchbook here. Wonderful...you are definitely the skin-tone-woman....such lovely, lovely skintones on your studies.

Cris

[jramauri]

Hi Shreya!
I don't remember to say this before to you, so I can say now: You are an incredible painter!
I've seen your works on your CGPortfolio, but these sketches really made my eyes fall from my face. I love all of them, and mainly the portrait of the girl, with the steps.
I just wanted to say "Congratulations" for you. Cheers!

[Iridyse]

I posted this in my other sketchbook but I haven't updated this one in ages and the image fits better here...

Copy(wip) of L'Etoile Perdue by William Bouguereau.

[NR43]

wow
splendid work!
I wish you'd post more work here :D

[razz]

Yes, Iridyse, I've seen you working on some pieces in the wip thread. Why not post it here? I'm sure everyone who doesn't visit there would love to see your pieces. And, aah, Bouguereau...one of my favorites.
No crits at all, just :drool:

[alexbaer]

Stunning, Iridyse... stunning. :)

Show us more!

[Rebeccak]

Gosh that's beautiful Iridyse - when can we expect a lovely tutorial from you? :)

[Iridyse]

NR43: Thank you very much! :) I should be painting a lot more!

razz: Thanks!! I hope you like the (almost) final version :D

alexbaer: Thank you! And ok, you asked for it..mwahah.

Rebeccak: Thank you so much! I don't really know what to write a tutorial on , and I don't feel like I know enough to write something (if that makes sense). I'd love to do one though!

I'm tired of this image for now, so more work on the arms, calf and hair laterlater. I also have a larger version uploaded, to show how nice broken highlights can be :)
