ANDREW GIBBONS SKETCHBOOK

[xelfereht]

Nice portraits dude.

It's always interesting to see someone else's workflow, I see that you start with a decent line drawing and then paint over that. I've seen other people just go straight to painting but I always feel really uncomfortable when I do that.

Keep posting dude :).

Thanks dude, actually the most fun for me is blocking in straight color real quick picking colors quickly by feel even if they are way off. then pull it all together, the lines is nice for playing with proportions and trying to nail likeness early.
will try to keep posting somewhat regularly.

heres a piece I'm working one that i put on the back burner for some time and am not determined to finish it

its based on a Bouguereau painting but with a character of mine in place.
its like half master study in that way but more a homage to Bougs because he's my fav old school painter
I've got a few more of these simultaneously in the works.
all based of Bouguerau's paintings with my comic book characters in place
Heres mine compared with the original
