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...

"Dreaming"

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... 

Patroclus study

Digital portrait #12345

Here is some digital portrait after a long time. I was experimenting with brushes and light. Also trying some different techniques than before. Colors are not very finished, but never mind.

I was trying to blend color better and make more soft transition with the soft brush. I would say, that it looks quite good. Need to practice more and try more new/different things.  

Took me less than 1 hour. Used CS4 and Huion tablet

#12345 is not a proper name, but it´s just a sketch... right? :)

Acrylics painting - "Small chappel"

My first try to paint landscape with "real" colors. Those trees are not perfect but I did my best. Need to study the nature more.
Painted with some photo reference (it´s a real place) from and for my friend.
Acrylics on hard board 30x40cm. Took me around one week (just evenings).

It was hard to find some nice angle for taking picture of this.

Digital enviros studies

I have a request for few landscape paintings (real paintings on canvas) so I´m just looking for some inspiration and also practicing digitally (at least). I feel I need to focus more on how to simplify trees and grass and also check perspective.

Digital photo studies, quite quick

 "Camel"

"Lost Little chapel"

Next still life with toy

Here is another still life with plush toy. It was quite quick (30 minutes) session and I was experimenting with brushes and techniques. Trying to implement several lost edges (not sure if successfully) and also create a sense of depth...

"Tuck"

Still life digital sketch - "Bobik"

It´s not so common for me to paint/draw with "real" reference and moreover still life... :)

I´m wondering about portrait of our "Bobik" toy with acrylics, so this was just quick digital sketching session to check possibilities...

It was basically just drawing and then I´ve added few colors.

The result is no real art, just a sketch, but I like it... maybe because I like Bobik... :)

Acrylic painting - Toucan

I did this picture for my lovely daughter, she likes toucans and all colorful parrots and birds. I was a bit afraid of the bright colors but that was not problem. Bigger challenge was the background...:)

The toucan´s body is not very hard edged, I wanted to keep it loose, but I´m not sure if the result is right.

Painted with acrylic colors on board 30x20 cm.

"Toucan"

Enviro quick digital painting

Some reference photo slightly used.
