malo and cheo36 I will consider to take that guy further if I find some time, LOL Thanks for your comments.

Shuty I use gimp for most of my digital work, almost for everything I do. I recently changed to gimp-painter but that's the same plus 2 new tools: mixbrush and g-pen. Mixbrush is a great tool and the last picture I uploaded was made only with that, just trying to get used to the way it mixes colors.

And a new portrait study. Long time since I did one. This time I painted Kaley Cuoco: Penny from the Big Bang Theory. It's not perfect, but I did it in arround 70 minutes, which is very fast for me. I also recorded a video as I was painting. Video

That's cool,my problem with gimp is that the brushes really lags,especially on higher res, but I'm working on really old pc so that might be the cause.
Anyway, great portrait! Nice brush strokes and thx for the video

Well, that's very usual on gimp. I think that's its biggest flaw. What I do to try to avoid that lag is starting the painting on a lower resolution so I can use the bigger brushes and then upping the image size as I'm adding the details. I also try to keep a very low number of layers (1-5).
But, to tell the truth, gimp is really slow for some stuff u.uU. I suppose it can be better with a good pc and lots of ram, but my pc needs some upgrades too.

Unfinished morning study. I'm having some trouble with a gold skinned dude and so I decided to make some gold studies.
Here I've been 1 hour into this one and I'm not very happy with how this is going. I will get back to it tomorrow.

JoseVega, I don't think I will ever come back to this one. I spent around 1 hour with it and I think that taking it any farther would miss the point of the study. I have also very little time to spend with these ones.

More portrait studies:

The last one was really frustrating. I wasted a lot of time trying to get the likeness and I'm not happy with the result.

And a color portrait study, trying to get the skin tones right.
