Quick painting - "Carl" from Walking dead

I saw the last episode of the Walking dead yesterday and I had a feeling that I really have to paint something related to this series. So here is¨a quick painting of "Carl" with his rifle... no zombies in sight ... :)

I´m not completely sure about the likeness.

Took me less than 2 hours.

Enjoy :)

And comment...

"Carl"

And some WIP here:

"Red dream" digital painting

Something new here...next digital portrait. Simply I can´t live without it... :)

Painted in gray scale and then added colors - it´s quite easy process but I feel I should work more with the color and try to use it directly...

It took me around 3 hours, done with my Huion tablet and CS4.

Reference picture slightly used.

"Red dream"

"Refuser" - digital painting

My new digital painting. Again started as a regular study, but later added also colors. I hope, that the blood is adding also some kind of dynamic into the picture.

Done with Huion tablet, CS4, few hours.  and reference picture.

Attached also work in progress screenshot.

 "Refuser"

Initial sketch, WIP

Digital training sketches

Two quick digital sketches done for training purposes. I was also trying to use limited pallet, just 4 gray colors.

aaand... updated with colors...just for fun... :)

Digital painting - "Waiting"

Digital painting according reference. Originally done in gray-scale but I added there also some colors. I don´t like the "dirty" look of shadows, but I have to find out how to blend it better or how to work with colors more efficiently.

There will be slight update of this picture in the future maybe, I would like to add some more interesting background... will see.

Done in CS4 with my Huion tablet, 2 evenings (around 4 hours)

 "Waiting"

Digitally colored traditional pencil sketch

I made a small sketch with friend of mine "Saki", just to investigate the form. Later I found out that I like it, so made a photo and put into a Photoshop. Then I played with tablet and colors upside of the original sketch and it turned out into quite nice result. It´s quite messy but I like it and hope that my friend will like it too.

Final colored sketch

Digital painting - Hannah

I was trying to add more "deep" with the stress on the focal point - blurred background and foreground. Not completely sure about the colors.

Also trying to let visible some of my brush strokes and still not satisfied with the result.

Done in photoshop and Huion tablet, used photo reference from internet.

Digital sketch - Jade

Digital sketch of this evening. Done with my tablet Huion and CS4, took me around 1 hour, some picture from internet used for reference. It is mostly training sketch, I was experimenting with some new brushes, but the basic default simple brush is still most useful. 

As I said, it is just a sketch, not very detailed and could be more accurate...

Digital auto-portrait #2

After some time of silence...here we come... :) 

This time I created digital portrait of myself. It's not super precise but the likeness is there. Anyway, I was focusing mainly on the technique and color richness. I would like to get more abstraction there and also impression-like result. But I have some issue with this, maybe I'm to much focused on the reality. I have to work on it a bit harder.

Done with my Huion tablet + CS4 and It took me two evenings. 

Hope somebody will like it...:]

Digital portrait - Minjam

After a long time some new portrait again. I was trying to get a bit "clasic" oil like look, :). I have to experiment more with colors.

Anyway, I really like portraits of old masters where the face is coming into the light from deep dark.

This picture took me around 1,5 hour, used cs4 with my Huion tablet. Some reference picture slightly used for inspiration.
