Well I think I’m finished this guy! when i get home I’ll check to see if the contrast sucks, I’m not sure how it looks on other screens.

Rebeccak: yeah I’ll finish the first portrait :thumbsup:

everyones doing an excellent job!

#184

Well as most of you know this has been driving me nuts for some time, just couldn’t click with these studies, then after Zhuzhu showed me a cool brush in Painter and Rebecca talked about Textures, things started to fall into place…

This took about 3hrs, and I feel it is one of my stronger pieces to date, there are a couple of development pics in my anatomy thread.
Again thanks to everyone who has helped me with this.:thumbsup:

Ok think this is done…I know it could be tidier around some areas, but quite like the painterly quality about this one, and feel I have got the face a lot closer than the others.

SpiritDreamer: Thank you so much, such kind comments :slight_smile: Yeah, i think the face is pretty much done, just need to work on the clothes/hand/background now.

Mal-1: That looks quite nice my friend. Good work.

today’s waterhouse… my nymph is looked old…ah,:sad::shrug:

#198

not much progress, just some spears etc…didnt have time for more…

#199

Some more work on Innocent X. I’m pretty much done (phew) with the upper garment. I wasn’t so dilligent with measuring after a certain point, so the right/bottom side is less accurate (the bottom part is actually quite messed up: I think I’d better make some corrections before I start deepening the shading). I have so far worked exclusively with an HB pencil, but will soon add in softer ones. I’ve avoided them so far so as to have minimal smudging in areas I want to keep crisp.

Rebbeca, thanks for the pointer. I had already started in a much more haphazard way, so I couldn’t implement botched’s approach. It gave me some clues, though, and along with some more tips from Diane at the WIP forum, I gradually switched to a smooth crosshatch technique I think I am relatively pleased with. Of course, any extra feedback and suggestions is more than welcome.

Mal, wonderful progress, really. The painted Pope looks very, very good. You’ve got his expression spot on, and I like your loose rendering a lot. Your second dwarf take on is simply brilliant, too.

Warhead82: Justin!! It’s good to see you here! :slight_smile: Very nice start you’ve got here, the face in particular. Each time I see your work you’ve taken it several steps further. Keep it up!
