Man with Red Hair

Continuing to practise digital painting... Somehow this bloke came out looking like a warrior of some sort. I guess it was inevitable- that's what happens when you start digital painting, isn't it? Before you know it I'll be onto dragons, elves and unicorns. Oh well... I just wanted to have a crack at some cloth and some hair so this was as good a way to go about it as any.

Digital Portrait

This is my first attempt at a digital portrait. The brushes are all too conventional, but its a start! Took around 4 hours.

Observational Drawings Part02


Observational drawings done over two visits to the National Gallery. The image is called Perseus Turning Phineao and his Followers to Stone, and the artist is Luca Giordano. During one, a tour came past, and explained that this image was displayed in the dining room of the man who comissioned it as a warning to people not to mess with him. Gotta love art with a message. I tried hard, but not everybody is in exactly the right place! The guys on the left have got into a bit of confusion with their hands and spears. Will try harder next time!
