Morning - digital painting

Here is the new digital painting, (there is just fake canvas texture underneath). Not very happy with the result, - especially with the anatomy, but I learned several interesting things, I would like to use the new knowledge in same next work. Attached also some steps of my working process..

I would appreciate some comments...

Island town sketch

Here is my last "traditional" work...quick sketch of nice small town on a small island...reference in some travel magazine slightly used...
A5, ink pen, water brush, red watercolor...

Island town sketch

Night tree, tempera

Just to be clear - acrylics = cool, tempera = not cool ... :)

So I did this picture, just to use the rest of tempera color I have, for training purposes. 

Anyway, I have to say, that I quite like the result especially the color gradient in the background. It´s a shame that my cheap tempera colors fade so quickly (almost immediately after usage)...

No reference used.

Acrylic painting #2 - Abstraction

Hehe, I´m still smiling...:). I´ve bought a new spatula/slice  and decided to test it on my next acrylic painting - some abstraction, this time... There were a lot of inspirative pictures on internet so I had a nice vision how the result should look like. And here it is... :)

The result is definetly NOT according what I had in my mind before start. The spatule usage is not so intuitive as I thought...so I have to figure out what to do with the result,... keep it or give it to someone or repaint it... will see.

Anyway, enjoy :)

Acrylics #2

My first acrylic painting !

Hoohoo, finaly! I´ve found some courage and painted my first real canvas with acrylic...

Quite small - 13x17 cm, but a tons of a new experience gained...:)

Next time I have to buy new and better small brush, it´s visible that black strokes with my current brush looks horrible...

Originaly I was afraid mainly about the gradient in background, but it wasn´t so hard...

I´m looking forward for something more bigger, next time... :)

Sword lady, digital sketch

So, finaly, I have a new tablet... Huion!!! I would like to write a review of it later. This is a first sketch I´ve done with this cool stuff. I still have to use to it, but no big deal...:)

Knight with axe sketch + video

Here's a video with speed process of my quick sketching of Knight with axe. It took me around 35 minutes. Low detailed and not very good, but I would like to share it anyway... why not..? :)

Finished picture:

Sargent studdy

Trying to studdy some work from old masters. This time it is Sargent (left side:) ).

It was just quick experiment, 20 minutes. Perfection was not my goal, I was focusing mainly on brush strokes and colours. The result is more like sketch... 

  

Uriel - digital painting

This was originally just next digital training sketch, but I started to like it, so I spent a bit more time with it than usually. Anyway, I was trying to add some fantasy details, but it was a fail, maybe next time...

Used some reference picture from internet, mainly for inspiration.

I would really appritiate some comments... :)

"Uriel"

Tough - tempera

I bought a basic set of tempera colours and started with experiments...I would like to try acrylics in the future, so this is just a preparation phase.
Standard office paper, format A4, several cheap brushes and 3 tempera colours. No reference used, I was just playing, doodling and messing arround... :)
