The Mixtape: The Anatomy Art of Pusha V

#313

Thanks for the comments everyone…

Rookie- Lol I had tons of pino work on my hard drive until i reinstalled my windows xp pro just so i could use my painter 9 lol.

Spiritdreamer-That was an experiment between 3 different programs. I like the style also.

Deco-3d-Welcome to my thread. Yes I have improved tons. I did not think that it was going to be possible but Rebecca forced me to make an anatomy thread to practice my work and it is just now paying off lol. I normally draw until 3 a.m. everyday despite having school in the morning. I am glad that you went through the entire thread.

Here is my latest doodle.
I made this in my new opencanvas 4.06 english version.
I am starting to get the hang of this program and creating my own brushes. This programe reminds you of painter and photoshop. It is simpler to use than painter and it is cheap.
OPENCANVAS ENGLISH WEBSITE

Done in like 10 mins

And here is the workshop mastercopy that i am working on in painter IX. I normally paint like this in photoshop but painter 9 has nicer ghost brushing compared to 7.

What a way for me to end 2006.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Well not for me yet lol. I still have like 30 more mins.

HEY…Pushav…:thumbsup:
I like your beginning of that standing figure…think a closeup fineshed version of her face, crossed hands and wrist would
be a nice addition to your portfollio…she has a really nice serene looking face.Would make a nice painting just by itself I think…JUST A THOUGHT…:slight_smile:
On the bottom one,…you might want to soften up the outter edges of her face a little…:slight_smile:
HEY…HAPPY NEW YEAR…:scream: HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT ONE…:thumbsup: :bounce:

Thanks for the comments.

Well it looks like someone took away one of my stars. I can’t please everyone. Lol.
I am taking a break from digital painting due to my lack of inspiration in my own paintings so now i am picking back up the pencil and drawing once more. Lets see if I can get that star back soon.
Good news i just got a new scanner, 160 gig hardrive for my art, and new software. I am set now.

This is my quick sketch of Mugen from Samurai Champloo.

Here are the digital inks

Here is a quick cast sheet that I made. This was drawn on 11x17 paper.

And old never seen painting…

Hey Verdell, nice to come and have a browse through this thread again, thanks for your comments on my own. Your master copies have definitely got stronger, the last couple, even the beginnings of the Leighton one, are looking great. And man, you’ve got me wanting to draw Mugen now… he’s such an awesome character, from an awesome show, nice job on the action, it defintely suits him! And the boy on the character sheet has a nifty pose too, caught my eye!
Keep up the great work!

HEY…Pushav…:thumbsup:

LONG TIME NO SEE…:shrug: What happened the :twisted: get the best of you…:eek: :scream:
Was thinking that if you are lacking for an inspiration for somthing worthy to paint, maybe a selfportrait might just do the trick:bounce: :eek: just a thought:)
Hey,I like that last set posted,… middle one the best…great collection of expressions…:thumbsup:
KEEP POSTING, you know how it is, you snooze, you loose…:scream:

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been practicing in illustrator and i had to redo my operating system. I will try to update more often.

Normally i would do this in photoshop but i felt like using painter for a change.

My latest speed paint. Total time 40mins. I may do another version of this.
Done from a reference photo of a model…Done in painter9

#320

I am a bit rusty from not painting in a while.
This is an unfinished speed paint done in photoshop7
I have to get my swagger back…

#321

HEY…Pushav…:slight_smile:

You might want to be leary of falling into a fad,like speed painting, they are usually short lived, just like in the music world…gets to the point with them, where everyones stuff starts looking and sounding the same.
I have seen over a short period of time on this forum, a trend that is leading to a massive amount of unfinished ,unpolished works done in the name and for the sake of speed.
Has gotten to the point, where you can’t tell if a clear layer was put on top of a master work,photo or whatever, and then just traced, and abtracted using speedy colorful brushstrokes.
This is not the case in your case, i’m sure but is worth mentioning none the less, because when imatation of style becomes the goal, individual style becomes extinct.
Expertice, ends up being substituted with abstraction…a condition that has led from clssical painting being rejected, and replaced by pure white canvases with nothing on them except hype, that sell for a million dollars.
Remindes me of a child who says…it’s just too hard, so I will just paint the way I want to, skip the hard part, and call it beautiful and finished, so that I can hurry to the next one, and do the same thing on it over and over again…not much of a challenge, and for sure not much knowlage gained…just an avoidance of the facts…no pain, no gain…a wisdom that has become replaced with and by speed.
Just voicing a personal opinion here…has to do with the story of the hare and the tortoise…:slight_smile:
Everyone runs the race in thier own manner…what counts is THE FINISH…:scream:
GOOD TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN …Pushav…:thumbsup:

Yeah I had to get back to speed painting just to get back into the flow of using my wacom tablet once more. Recently I have been drawing stuff and got rusty at painting. I started on a mastercopy but I quit painting on it due to the mastercopies being the same old stuff to me. Yeah some people trace big time but on my more detailed photos I put in time to try to get proportions right. I usually zoom in to get the likeness. I do have some animated gif images to show my progress on some of my work but the image hosting place messes with the gif file and it doesn’t look right when I preview the image.

A new painting…Ps7

Another Pino study painting…Ps7

#323

Good stuff dude - keep pushing those studies. You seem to have a spark there, and it will be nice when you really go for a full painting and invest in it. Can’t wait to see that. :wink:

#324

Looooooooooooooooong time no post from me.
I am currently working on a cheesy and stupid web comic.
Her is a drawing of page 3 which is a s[lash page. I added in some random text for this thread and my other sites so I could upload it.

Enjoy.

#325

Sorry for the lack of updates… I had to clean up my computer because I ran out of room on my hard drive. I have more stuff coming soon.

#326

This is my latest work of art.
Darth Vader!

Man it is hot outside.

#327

Random sketch on printer paper. The grayscale was done by a mouse.

#328

Hi Verdell, great progress in your sketchbook. It’s very interesting to see you looking for your personel style. I like the looseness you have in the Pino studies. Keep going!

#329

Thank you very much. Fans seem to love my take on some of Pino’s work. I have more that I am going to do. Right now I am in the process of making more brushes for my photoshop 7 to help texturize some of my work.

#330

I amlost forgot how to do my Pino work due to not doing one in a while. I also know that this pic has anatomy issues also. I had to remake some brushes and I made some new ones to add to the style. This is just a warm up for the better pino work.

#331

HEY …Pushav…:bounce: :thumbsup: :scream: :slight_smile:

GREAT TO SEE YOU JUMP BACK INTO THE MASTER STUDIES…:applause:
That’s where you will learn and progress the most I think…MORE WORK DOING THESE,…BUT …HEY,…NO PAIN,…NO GAIN …:twisted: :scream: :slight_smile:
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO …MORE …:thumbsup:
TAKE CARE

I have another pino coming. I was working on it at 3 am the same day I was doing the warmup. And the next one will be better a whole lot better lol.
Thanks for the comment.

Here is a digital sketch done with my so called digital Micron lol.

I kind of tried to get a retro book cover feel to this sketch. I should re-do this and turn it into a real painting and submit it to the cgtalk gallery.
Enjoy Until the next pino coming soon. Leave your crits or comments.
