Shez's Thousand Sketches - Scheherazade - 01-05-2013
Hi! I'm a UK artist with a degree in Game Art and Design hoping to get a career as an artist (2d art and 3d art). I figured I’d post here and get some feedback on my stuff. :)
At the moment I’m mainly doing digital studies – I’m a member of a group on DA called DailyDoodlers and try to post a study a day when I can - though I can't always since I'm doing some 3d work for a project on the side. I used to do all my digital stuff in Photoshop Elements 6, but then I found MyPaint which has a great brush system, so I'm mostly using that nowadays.
I’d say the thing I find most difficult to do is original concepts because I’m very self-critical of my original ideas and technical ability. I see there’s a ‘Challenges’ forum so maybe trying some of those will help me.
So here are some of my images. I'm doing a lot of environments at the moment because I've been doing nothing but figures for some years now.
Can't remember how long this took, but it was over 3 hours (reference here: UK Stock 1229)
30min study (reference here: Sea Cliffs)
Think this was 2-3 hours (reference here: Close Portrait 10)
40-min study (reference is here: Winter)
Finally, an original work I spent maybe 10 hours on back in March '12 (before I learned how great custom brushes are)
Thankyou for taking the time to look at my work!

Your 1st portrait you put up is nice, i'd suggest looking at skin more though, as at the moment it looks a little bit like stone, especially on the face. :)
