@ Brent and Morgan, thanks guys! i love both of you!

I was painting with gouache and then i uploaded it and added digital touches to it. Ahh this is a MAJOR FAIL! the eyes are off and ahh not good anatomically. But hey failure is human! I did learn from this painting. I think i might be onto a new style. I gotta do more of this!

Day 117/365

r10min study eh supposed to be me lol. Iv been painting traditionally in my oil painting class and I am trying to emulate a similar look with my digital painting. Currently I am working on a Rembrandt study in the class so I can say that he is a great influence to my work! I really enjoy this style!



And album cover I am working on for a friend.

howdy Yog,
i like what i'm seeing here man, especially the studies. i think doing more of those will really help out. love the way the landscapes are starting to look, push a bit more texture into them too ;)

your color usage is definitely getting better man.
