Digital painting "Sheldon" from Big Bang Theory

And the show goes on... :) next portrait related to favourite series - Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory,
I have to focus more on edges, soft and hard and sometimes lost... really not easy. Also playing with colors to gain more harmony... not sure if successfully. 
Again, I´ve forgot some work in progress pictures, so maybe next time...

CS4, Huion tablet and some screencap from the series.

First digital study in the New year :)

After some time... here comes the new year. My wish is to paint more and better... :)
Here is my digital study of traditional painting reference. I´ve lost the link to the original picture... shame on me...
I was trying to catch the color and the traditional looseness. Added also texture of canvas, just for effect...

Done in CS4, Huion tablet, 1 hour of study work...

Acrylic portrait "David"

Here comes the acrylic portrait of my colleague David. He was surprised that I´m a secret painter :), so he gave me simple task (quest :) to paint his portrait. And he was happy with the result...he gave me quite expensive bottle of Rum...mmmmm

I was playing with colors and experimenting with technique and it was really fun...

Acrylic on hardboard 30x25cm, done through one weekend., you can see also picture from "work in progress" bellow...

Acrylics painting "Pasacci"

Here is my acrylics painting I was working for last 3 months (including 1 month of total inactivity:). It is my first experience with stretched canvas and I was quite surprised how high was the usage of color (my previous paintings was on hardboard).
The painting was done as commission, two paintings in the same style and colors were requested and reference pictures were proposed. Pictures will be hanging next to each other most probably.
The theme is mostly about traditional sheep herding, kind of tradition in some parts of our country...not easy to explain... :)

No work in progress pictures this time...

2x stretched canvas 40x30 cm , acrylics colors


"Pasacci"

Digital sketch "Old hat"

Usually I have a rule - don´t draw/paint kids. It´s not because I have something against them, but mostly because it´s really hard work to catch the likeness and parents are always not satisfied :)
Anyway this is just another quick digital sketch with reference picture from our family album. 
I was experimenting with some brush settings and soft/hard edges, also a smudge tool, etc...
And, I have to say I like the result. Maybe it´s quite rough but that´s probably why I like it... :)

Took me less than 1 hour, used CS4 and Huion tablet...

Few traditional sketches from my sketchbook

I would like to share these three traditional sketches from my sketchbook, just to have some update.
Nothing fancy, just studies. Format usually smaller than A5.

Pencil study of some painting, checking for values and edges.

Quick portrait study from some photo reference, tempera colors used (just black/white)

Pencil study of some painting again.
