oooh - a mastercopy - so glad to see more souls joining in the struggle!
but I really have to say I loooooooove that last painting of yours - however disturbing it is - the palette is awesome and so is the technique - actually I think it might have made a great poster 
SWEET!
Aw Thanks Magdalena! You know, I think that pic looks waaay better if flipped vertically. It creates a much nicer perspective I think. Like GOD looking down over your shoulder from behind slightly…try it!:bounce: Thanks again!:buttrock:
coming along really nice Isaias
you’ll go all the way with this one right? :twisted: :bounce:
Hey Johan, thanks heh. Yeah, I think I’m going to try my hardest on this one. That’s why I’m taking so long…My laptop is messed up right now so I can’t paint:sad:…I’ll have to find a work around.
Hey DIM! 
Thanks for the look. I’l try and post another update soon.
I finally got my laptop working again. I can paint! Technically anyways, the skill is still something to shoot for. Here’s another quick study, about 40 minutes. Jeff Buckley, one of the greats.
HEY…Isaias…
REALLY like that last one…Great job on the planes of the face…has that ONENESS about it…:applause:
I think the composition might be even better, if the back of his other hand and fingers, were wrapped around the neck of the giutar…would bring viewer back into the composition, creating a circle composition…fingers would be on the strings, aiming in the direction of his face, in a subtle way…just a thought…
Also like the looseness of the painting, with tightness in the key areas of interest…and the way the colors are really adding to the mood and feeling of the piece…BEAUTIFUL SIMPLICITY…:bounce:
TAKE CARE
Glenn
Anand, THANKS!! I need to make up for lost time now :(. I want to finish the OFDW soon!
Glenn, I can always rely on you for fresh perspectives. Thank you!
Magdalena, haha. Thanks! I can’t touch you guys yet, but I appreciate the motivation. You rock, REALLY!
Happy holidays everyone. I got a bonus! I’m cool.
hey
good to see you got your rig back up.
great portrait of a great musician.
one thing I can’t see in the painting is a hint to his tormented soul though…
Thanks Johan. I think the lack of emotion is because the lack of any eyes…maybe I’ll go back and add to it.Hmm, but first the OFDW! Heh, thanks again!
I love looking at threads like this that have been around for a while, I can see your progress immediately. You have lots of great images in here, post 110 with the drug user is really striking! Keep it up, thanks for posting your work.
kind of sucks
No Wayz:shrug: I really like the values and the softbrush work you ve done on it:)
Merry Christmas Everyone! Granted…completely unrelated, but still…thank you all for such a great year. I found painting! Thank you CGTALK! Infinitely…
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Keep up the good work and keep pushing yourself in 2007.
Cheers!
