Vampire Alpaca

Here's another quick one for today, about 1h15m . Vampire Alpaca. Don't ask. I think it might not have turned this goofy if I was listening to something else and not CanCan music >.>

I think this doodle-a-day thing might not have been such a great idea after all, it's bringing up strange stuff from the recesses of my mind.

Still life

Here's a still life for today, from life. About 1 and a half hours, I'm actually surprised at how fast it went. I guess that means I should have paid closer attention to what I was doing, probably a lot of errors there.

Faces, faces!

My first caricature!! OMGWTFBBQ!!

Well first -intentional- caricature anyway, nevermind that most of my portraits end up looking like caricatures :P

The superawesome Jason Seiler, for the contest on at https://www.schoolism.com/chiutv.php



And some doll portraits of the fun, talented folks over at ConceptArt that I made a while ago but forgot to post.

It's finally finished!

More mastercopies!

Just trying some more master copies , trying to improve brushhandling and texturing. I need to find a way to upload psds, any ideas?

Crop of head and some stages. I'm falling in love with Rembrandt all over again. I usually don't like his women, I prefer how he paints men,armor,drapery and lighting. I loved this image though, I think it's his mother? I saw the image first in a book, that had more yellow tones which I liked much more so I am sticking to that. You can see the orig at http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eg...t=405000&row=0 . I can't wait to start on the shiny embroidery!

It's FAR from finished but I just wanted to upload something. Please look at the fullsize images.

Girls!

I recently bought ZhangLu and Jason's awesome female portrait tutorial and have been practicing a few heads from my imagination but I realized I need to supplement it with (lots) of studies from ref too.
