Open Figure Drawing Workshop - Mixed Masters - 020

[Intervain]

Awww thanks Becca and a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well I’m gaining as much as I’m putting in or more by participating in the workshop and the forum in general so it’s more of a pleasure than hard work! :bounce:

[Frejasphere]

Thank you Rebeccak

That certainly was a New Year’s present and a half - 5 extra days to finish!
Having just started the year with a big bang and lots of laughs - it feels great to have a few extra days to get into gear!

Fatebringer - love the hair, you can almost count the strands, that is amazing detail work

Intervain - lovely close-ups showing the detail work! Oh you are a true master of fabrics and bringing out the elegance keep it up!

Imafo - beautiful work in yours! Looks so much like the original and you’ve really captured her mood, the colours and - such detail!

Glenn - I do like your last version, he’s jumping out much more and you’ve captured that expression very well

Krispee - Nice work! I like the softness in your drawing - gives elegance to her pose Also her hair… it’s lovely!

Blessing - Nice start there, she’s got a powerful expression which you have captured already with the extra days you should be able to finish

No time to paint today, but will be back shortly…
take care all and cheers

So, a new year and new efforts
Have been away for the holidays, but here´s a small update from this morning.

Gonna go through all the beautiful paintings tonight, and do all the usual “wows” and “oooohs”

[Blessing]

@Frejasphere: Thank you so much! Fortunately the deadline has been extended (thanks a lot, Beccak!). I hope to get a good work and do justice to Lord Leighton’s masterwork.

@all: The works on this thread are really amazing. Their quality is astounding. You’re a great inspiration for me. Congrats to all!

Cheers!

Bless

Thought I would just drop this one in before this challenge draws to a close.

Painted in my favorite new software Artrage2:

[almostkungfu]

Wow, I never really get over how insanely talented you guys are.
Okay, here’s my little try, it’s better than my previous ones, I think. =P

[pushav]

Mark

[Intervain]

Mark - she’s indeed looking better and better!

Frejasphere - thanks - you’re too kind!

Started the colouring - obviously with the dress! Couldn’t resist the temptation of pink got some values a tad off so I’m correcting things that are too bright a little with colour… The flesh’s just a base tone now so do not be surprised at her weird looks I only did parts of the hands ‘properly’…

[eduart]

Hi,

@Rebeccak …it’s a very good idea to postpone the deadline…I’ll have time to finish my “poseidon man” : ))

@Intervain …great job…I love the way you handled the dress (all that details drives me crazy)
…the wallpaper (the background pattern) is hand maded?

oh…and you all guys are great…keep the good work!

Edd

[Intervain]

hi eduart - thanks No the pattern was stolen from this website - like I said, I cheated

[eduart]

@Intervain … thanks for the site…the paterns are amazing
and don’t worry…I like how you cheat…you cheat with style and good taste : D

Wow, a lot of impressive images posted in the last few weeks. :applause:

  Sumptuous work, Magdalena!  :thumbsup:
  
  Glenn, he's looking so great. Love your colour experiments!
  A guy on the Concept Art OFDW thread (post # 123) has done [THIS PORTRAIT](http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1161020#post1161020)  in acrylics - looks fantastic.
  
  Mark, she's looking better and better. You must be proud!  :)
  
  pushav,  impressive result. Stamped with your own style.  
 
  Mark/Mal-1, looks like you're enjoying Artrage!

almostkungfu, you’ve got some nice values happening in parts of his chest, and on his left side Keep at it if you have the time.

(I’m working, finally, on getting some more work done to post… )

Happy New Year, All!

[FateBringer]

YMS Thank you, I suppose you could put it that way

Great work everyone

Mark

[SpiritDreamer]

THANKS …Yvonne…now I have time to explore, experiment, and play with this painting…

HEY…Mark…:bounce: :applause: …real jewel of a painting…SHE’S BEAUTIFUL… …GREAT JOB…

TAKE CARE
Glenn

[Frejasphere]

Wow! flying colours to say the least

Mark - She glows!! wonderful job, the way her skin, hair and background all jump out - not to mention that blouse! well done!!

Intervain - mmm nice colouring! going to be a beautiful piece as she already is!

Belianis - you could always try to convince someone you’re off to a great start with good likeness, so don’t stop

Pushav - I like the “poster-like” style in yours - a bit Tolouse latrec

A quick update - and a dreadful photo - paint is still wet and there are reflections going awol all over the place - sorry :shrug: Just thought I’d post it anyway… been working on her hair and background - also adjusting her hairline, unfortunately the colours in pic are darker than real - Oh well that’s enough excuses from me (note to self: take better pic next time )

take care all and cheers

I’m glad this was postponed, I always wanted to participate in these Master studies. Just finished the initial sketch; Here’s the trick I used to nail the proportions; Basically I’ll drag guides on the reference on the ‘hotspots’. When I have all the guides in place, I’ll go to ‘create a new document on current state’ , located on the HIstory palette. I’ll delete the reference, and fill it with a light grey color, and start sketching. It’s a lot like using a grid but much faster:
