[Jad]

I made a new portrait

[Grinner]

Looks very good, although her nose looks broken (?).

[Geti]

Figured I may as well start dumping stuff here since I've been doing quite a lot of NPA for the last while and I miss the criticism of this place.


My first piece using the lasso as a primary tool. I ran out of time so I threw some grain over it and called it quits.


I wish I had the time to code an engine that could cope with this sort of stuff...

[Mathias]

It grows . . .

[philipptr]

Long time since I've last been active here!
Didn't achieve much in the meantime, so here's some semi-quick pixeling I did:


and a test with different colours:

[Ryumaru]

Mathias: woah.

Philliptr: Nice palettes.

Some studies:

[philipptr]

Woah, especially the first one is way too good for just "some study"
May I ask how heavily it is referenced? I'd like to know since I always wonder how much those who are actually able to paint reference when they do so.

[Ryumaru]

The first one is a study of Van Dyke's cornelius, so it is as heavily referenced as it gets. The purpose was accuracy of drawing and development of form.

[Cure]

[trough]

Cure: That is Beautiful. I would buy a print of that in a heartbeat. What medium is that? A woodcut?
