Junkboy: I love the texture and composition of that latest drawing, but my favorite part has to be those border motifs on the corners.  They're great.

Had to do this for my Illustration Techniques class at community college. Traced it out on tracing paper and then drew it out on 8x11½ Illustration Board. The main focus was to learn to use oil wash. Ehhh.

The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

That painting looks excellent.  I can tell you're spending a lot of time thinking about light forms and stuff.  It looks like a photograph.

The photo is a fantastic texture study.  Something seems off to me about the composition, though.

yeah, it just sort of drops straight off after the halfway point, i'll probably crop if i ever add it to a portfolio.  most of the photos i take though like this one are just seeing something cool and whipping out my camera, spending just enough time to balance the aperture...

There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

alright ptoing, but i blame you....:P



most of the canvas is too WIP to really be worth posting, and the girl will have a head, clothing, and there will be more people, a small boat, and the suggestion of a large palace in the far background (very faint in teh light).




had a little free time yesterday afternoon:

Manhattan Impressions IV: Central Park

yay for representational abstraction!

It's a mockup for a game. You (not pictured) jump from miniature planet to miniature planet. Both of the ones pictured are on the smaller end of the size spectrum.

I'm getting to the point where I'm happy with my deegital paintings. :D
Anyway, I AM REQUESTING CRITICISM.
Oh yes naked women are beautiful
But I like shrimps more haha ;)

sherm - looks nice, one thing i would point out tho is that those grays tend to be displayed with varying luminance form screen to screen.  I use them a lot and find that sometimes they are the color i like, and sometimes (as your appears on my screen to be), much too bright.

here some art to pretend this thread is still fresh and alive:



quick studies form the Metropolitan Museum's nicely redone greek and roman galleries.  granted they still dont have much (only one polykleitos and it's a roman marble copy), but it's nice.

Aphrodite i am happy with, hercules i probably should have doen properly (instead of separating into 3 values) and the shrunken legs (true to the statue by my measure) bother me as much in mine as they do in the original.  oh well though, that's why we do studies of other artists.
