Just marvelous work I see in here. Every body’s work gets more and more beautiful as the OFDW continues.
Drawmonger, how did you get that skeleton in the program called poser? Its great that you see the effect of the pose on the skelethon. Gives one a better idea on how to flesh it out.
:thumbsup: everyone!

I know I´m doing it the “wrong” way, I don´t see the whole picture :sad: But I´ve tried it and it doesn´t work for me yet, so to keep the fun up I went back to my normal way of painting - bit by bit. But I AM trying new colors :applause: And I like it… I have some greens in there, and some pink and yellow… BIG improvement in my world :surprised

Glenn… -> Glad you appreciate… thanks for sweet words… I was a little bit afraid to start with this one… but finally, quickly I had a good feeling…

SaraD -> I don’t know if it was the wrong way, and how is your usual method… but this one appear already very well started… I just take a look on your personal website and saw your work, and especially your wip… very interesting, I like your style :thumbsup:
In any case, I hope you finish this one…

Hi
QueenSoul
There is a book out there somewhere called Painting Techniques of the Masters, I can’t
remember the authors name, but it is a great book. Your painting reminded me of it. Alot
of the masters started out their paintings useing silver colors, as under paintings,then
added transparent flesh colored tints in oils over the silvers. anyway it gave the skin a
very Luminous warm feeling You might try something like that with this painting, if you feel
like it of course. If you ever get that book, I think you will love it, all kinds of Magic in it.
About twenty techniques for painting flesh, from the Old Masters.
Very nice painting you have here by the way. :thumbsup:
Merry Christmas :slight_smile:
Take Care
Glenn

Hi
SaraD
WOW ! Looks Real to me, nice color :bounce:

Using Poser 5, it took about 10 mins. First position the body to reflect the pose and then change the figure to a skeleton. IMHO, the quality of poser for creating finished pieces is questionable, but as an aid it’s great!

Here is the link (i think…it used to be by curious labs…but looks like it’s been bought out??)

#115

Hi Glen, thanks for the review and the book recommendation. I recently became interested in painting like the old masters. There is a whole cult doing it over at wetcanvas. I bought this book called ‘How to paint like the Old masters’ by Joseph Sheppard. I am really interested in this and am even looking around for personal tutors around my area.
Should be interesting to see what develops from it.

Cheers

Queenie
