Digital Painting of the Day – Pin-up style

I am continuing my digital painting techniques and this time, working from a photo still, I let myself be a little more painterly in my technique. Sticking with the pin-up girl style I let myself be more fluid with my brush strokes and make them look a little more like brush strokes than filter effects and harder edged. A note to the photographer (Peter Coulson) and the original picture I worked off of to create this. This piece and my playing with techniques couldn’t happen... Read More

Sketch of the Day – Sleeping Beauty Background Sky

I am continuing my latest digital painting project and I went ahead and focused on the background (sky). I decided to create a few of my own brushes for this and play with some of the features of the brush preset to try my best in making clouds in the background. I wanted to make the sky in this piece just as important as the actual face, I want it to be colorful but also credible. Just remember all that the sky isn’t always blue and clouds are not white, they are yellow,... Read More
