Digital painting - "Olga"

Playing with tablet. colors and CS4 filters. There was some reference picture at the beginning but later just working according to my fantasy. Still not able to get the impressionistic look I want, but I´m not trying to hard... :)

Enjoy

"Olga" :)

Pencil sketches

I don´t have much update to share, so here you can see few quick pencil sketches from my recent sketchbook (A5).
I know that my drawing sucks and I need to practice more. Maybe I´m a small bit better with colors... :) I hope...

Acrylics painting - "Space abstraction"

Here is my next acrylics painting done as a "commission"
30x40cm hard board, I would like to varnish it later, it's still not completely dry...
I have to find out how to do splatters more efficiently.... :]
It was a fun...

"Space abstraction"

Digital portrait - "Lady sparkle"

Digital portrait again :). Done with limited color pallet and trying to eliminate the looseness.

I´m really not sure what to say more about this picture, maybe that I was trying to add there also some interesting atmosphere - sparkles... :)

Took me around 2 hours, done in CS4 with Huion tablet, some photo reference used.

Acrylics painting - "Bobik"

Here is my last still life acrylics painting. I was using plush toy called "Bobik" as a model. It was my first real still life acrylics painting session ever...:) 

You can see the result below  + some work in progress pictures...

I would try to make it more abstract and more colorful next time.

Painted on 20x30 cm (A4) sololit (hardboard) witch acrylics gesso as a baseline. I was using regular pencil for sketch drawing, it is still visible in few places, need to avoid it next time...

The model :)

Digital portrait "White"

I´m a big fan of artist Rene Aigner and I really love his amazing digital portraits, so smooth but solid and detailed. He´s updating his sketchbook almost every day. So I´ve decided to improve my stuff in his way. So I´ve started to use initial sketch, then restricted pallet of colors (grey for now) and focus on the transitions and blending. 

Below you can see the result, I would say, that it looks not so much sketchy than my previous usual pictures. I need to practice more, for sure, but I hope this could be a way...

Unfortunately I didn´t save any work in progress pictures, no steps and no video, maybe next time...

Also the resolution is not too high, but never mind.

Took me around 2 hours, photo reference used, tablet Huion and CS4.

Feel free to comment...

"White"

Digital portrait "Isma"

This piece was unfinished for a loong time. So finally here it is... :)

There was just rough drawing sketch, then I was adding more layers with colors and light. Also playing with hair and color combinations.

Still not sure about the background.

Made with my Huion tablet and CS4, photo reference from internet used...

"Isma"

Imagination sktech dump

Two pictures from this evening digitally painted without any reference, just with my fantasy. I was trying to use process with lasso tool from some tutorial I´ve seen recently. It´s a bit abstract, still a lot of space for improvements...

The "Thief" picture just came up from general messing with brushes... :)

Nothing fancy just sketches for fun...

"The Tree"

"Thief"

Digital portrait - "Dreaming"

Two sessions leading to this result. I was trying to get something more than my usual rough sketch, so the face is better blended and colored, I hope.

Nice dreaming girl, painted with some reference picture from DA.

Enjoy...

Old master digital study - Patroclus

Here is my second (maybe) study of "old master". Inspired by "Level Up!" activity managed by conceptart.org portal. 

The original piece is an oil painting called "Male Nude known as Patroclus" from Jacques Louis David. My digital study took me more than 2 hours and it was really fun. No tracing and no color picking from the original picture. I´m quite satisfy with colors but the anatomy and proportions were quite a challenge...

Hand and foots doesn´t look right, mostly because I didn´t want to invest more time into them...

Any comments, tips and critique will be very appreciated...
