3 New coworkers and a spouse

3 New coworkers and a spouse

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Three more (4 if we're counting spouses) coworkers drawn. Kate wins for the fastest one yet (1h 45m). It was also the first one that I didn't try to exaggerate a feature, I just made an odd shape and put the face into it. I think as long as you ...

3 Co-workers

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Did a caracature of three co workers averaged about 4-5 hours per portrait. That was great for me. The Brian painting probably took the longest, when I did his initial sketch I could settle on a distorted face shape that I liked. I sketched about ...

Barry Manilow

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Going to see Barry Manilow in concert, thought I'd try and get another entry into my "Celebrity Book". Didn't really plan on it but my boss has season passes or something for the concert hall and word got to her that I'm a Barry Manilow fanatic ...

Aunt Barb Finished

Aunt Barb Finished

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Finished, colored to the best of my ability with the resources available. Tried to add subtle color shifts in the skin tone, like slight blue reflections on the cheek and neck area that would come from the jacket; a touch of gold from the necklace. ...

Aunt Barb WIP

Mac To The Drawingboard ― A friend (one that I can physically see and talk to… ooh Facebook-jab!) ask me if I could put together photographic collage of her deceased mother and deceased aunt. I agreed to but when she gave me the photos her aunts photo was a photoCOPY of a...

The Infamous Mr. Hahn

The Infamous Mr. Hahn

Mac To The Drawingboard ― This one was a trace. Instead of starting the drawing freehand, I used the photo as a template and traced over it then painted. Don't like doing it that way kinda feels like a cheat, but was looking at PapaNinja's stuff and wanted to try some ...

LouisDog

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Think I'm learning with caricatures to try a variety of different sketches. Instead of trying to nail it on the first try, I'll just make my own distortion and try to make the face fit. I've been kind of following this other artists blog. Seems ...

Akuma Gray

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Here is the finished B&W of Akuma, and another slightly revised (removed pupils and added lightning fx). I'm pretty happy with it. The big fear is whether the color version will look as strong. ∙ Cintiq and Photoshop

Akuma Finished

Mac To The Drawingboard ― Here's the colored version, not too shabby! After colorizing the face I took a copy of the (B&W) face layer and duplicated it, laid it over top of the colored face and played with the multiplied opacity, to try and get some darker shadows in ...
