so with this piece i wanted to achieve proportion, gesture, see if my brush skills can look detailed with rough strokes.

the only colors i picked were from the girl in the ref. no tracing.

after talking to some of the guys on PB.net i decided to paint this.
i hijacked henning’s colors and this is what happened. its still a wip.

2.5 hours a study of jason chan’s drizzt
after watching his concept art sketch and his usage of painter X brushes i decided to see if those brushes fits me. it was smooth sailing from then on.

#189

wow that girl is really cool :cool:

Where would you sugest me to start with colors? as u see my thread i got only values so far.

books dvds whatever you have to recomend i gota start with colors soon

i have no idea, i just copy from real life. its actually the first attempt at something with colors. for the last couple of months i have just been observing how colors behave in real life. no actual painting. i guess some of this has rubbed off onto me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey warpy, I’d suggest working from a darker background to eliminate that glaring white. Also something is odd with the mouth - it’s too generic and angular at this point. Good start, are you going to continue with this?

#192

nope, i am not going to do anything about it, i actually like the white background its like a real paper :slight_smile: the original advertisement is somewhere in last week’s news paper :frowning:
i am going to start a new one sometime soon.

#193

another study, what do you think. i personally like the hair :stuck_out_tongue:

#194

Hey there, I think that this image definitely needs a bit of blending. I also never think it’s a good idea to work against a pure white background, it just throws all of your values out of whack. The proportions look good, but those teeth seem a little yellow. :wink: If you polish this up and darken the bkgrd a bit I think it will be a nice piece.

#195

i actually wanted it to be rough like that, in the next piece i will try a non white background.

#196

here is a comic cover i did.calisto helped with with color choice and a nice bullet tutorial.

#197

Nice characters warpy. You were able to keep that comic feel to them. Sky seems to contrast a bit with the rest of the style, maybe a comic type full moon or drawn in clouds / stars could help.

Keep rockin :beer:
