Fire daemon

I was just messing with a brush and it became a face. Then a bit playing with CS filters and here comes the "Fire daemon" ... :)
Not very detailed, just for fun...

Quick digital sketch - "Wanna"

Quick digital sketch done in grey and a bit colored at the end. Just for fun...

The result looks a bit "dirty", but never mind.

Digital painting - Angel Batista

Here comes some more known face...:) Digital portrait of Angel Batista from the Dexter series. 

I don´t know why, but it was quite easy to paint this. I´ve started with colors blocking and then continued with smoothing and details. I was also trying to add more texture with the fake grain. You can see the progress in attached picture. It was really just those three steps...

This picture took me around 2 hours (during two evenings sitting), slightly used screen capture from one Dexter´s episode. Completely done in CS4 with Huion tablet.

Please comment...

Digital auto-portrait #3

Next digital auto portrait, took me 1 hour... quite funny story related to this picture...:)

I was wondering that it would be nice to try paint a landscape or still life this time. Don´t know how, bot it turned into this portrait...

Not very fancy, but I like the light setup. Reference photo used.

"Auto-portrait #3"

Quick portrait sketch before dinner

Quick sketch when I was waiting for a dinner. I know it is not very precise according the reference, but I don´t care...it was caused by the hunger... :)
I would like to update and paint over it with temperas or acrylics later...

"Hunger sketch" :)

The Weekly Challenge: Secret Project

took me less than 1 hour ---> speedpaint  :)

"Secret Project"

Quick portrait sketch with tempera

I would like to focus more on traditional painting. So I did this quick (less than 1 hour) portrait sketch with cheap school tempera colors (black and white) and standard office paper. The result is not perfect but I would say that it is not so bad for first try... :)

Picture from some magazine was used as a reference.
