good to know your getting better

i love seeing your art. I love the character in that 1st drawing, and how loose your approach is. Your characters in general look pretty great. That cave sketch seems a little odd to me though. Like im not sure what that blue light reflection is on that wall? so its a little confusing to read at 1st. I think the hanging (what are they called? hanging/ceiling rocks?) look good and make a key indication of what the scene is.

I'm glad you're feeling better!
And your artwork is just beautiful, I totally love those brush strokes! Keep up the good work!

Blindrat · 05:13 AM

@C0nker3- Yeah that cave was a bit weird...I was doing some monitor adjustments to sync up my displays a bit more and the colours were just so..."wtf" hehe

@Amaakir- Thank you kindly sir, gonna keep going as long as this body lets me hehe.

Well I have tomorrow off(yay), but figured I'd do two more studies and practices before heading off to bed...

Not a huge update, but I spent all day breaking in painter 12 in every possible way I could think of. I at first hated painter way back when I first tried it, but after stressing all the settings and going through each brush and becoming familiar with it it's actually very fun to use.

This is a gift for a friend I was playing TERA with today. We hosted a little guild contest and winner got a character sketch.

A Live figure painting I was working on this week, done in water mixable oils on canvas. I need to take a better picture of it

Man, I'm totally in love with your brush strokes, how do you do it? I would kill to learn how u manage to do those brush strokes, brilliant work man, keep up the great work
Cheers!

Hmm well I can post a few step-by-step things. Generally best way I can describe it is that it's crosshatching.

really nice updates. I love your lighting for your characters. You give them really nice 3d form. Those pencil sketches look sweet too. I like the loose, and boldness.

great brushwork and nice pencils, great start to a new sb!

Blindrat · 04-27-2012, 04:53 AM

So I sat down went through every single brush and setting in Painter 12 this week. a lot more in it then I thought(brushes alone were a bit crazy). Also finished a recent commission which I'm going to use to purchase myself a god flatbed scanner with this weekend, be a lot better than going in to work/school to scan stuff.

Anyway a couple of things that popped out from random strokes figuring out all the settings:
