Damn Computer.....

Technology has a lot to answer for!!!! It seems to have corrupted my art work and I can't retrieve it. Gutted. I've lost the will to restart it again. It had so much potential too.

Been looking into the artwork of Tony DiTerlizzi. Amazing imaginitive stuff. So creative, a style i'd love to have, but wonder if my imagination stretches that far. I'm tempted to freshen my working style and he maybe the inspiration I need. Check his work out. Well worth a look!!

Progress

Face and hair now taking shape and getting close to being finished. There are things that look wrong and the hair is still bugging me!! Oh well, it'll have to do for now. I need a rest!!!!

Hair!

Hair. Oh my god hair. Who'd have guessed making hair look realistic was going to be so difficult!!!! The face is nearly finished now and is looking pretty mean n funky but right now he looks like someone has place a very bad wig on his head. arggghhh

Well, I'm getting more and more viewings to this blog but still no comments. If you'd like to add something then please feel welcome to do so.

Get on with it!

Back to art progress................working on the face now which is I guess the most important part. From here things only get better to look at. I hope!

Weather Cock Up

Found the weather forecast amusing this morning. They showed us the morning temperatures then as the clock moved on the graphics only showed the changing cloud coverage......and that's all the weather lass could talk about. There were no wind icons or temperature icons. I know more about the next days weather than today's!!! Oh well it would have probably been wrong anyway.

Progress

Well this is progress so far. Things are still a bit messy. I've gained some form to the shoulders and backpack and have begun on the chest. I've had a a change of heart though!!!! Although the pose worked in the larger imagine, in this cropped pose, it's too stagnant. I've decided I'm going to raise the hand up to the chest and have his face turn more to us.

New Project

This is a drawing I did a little while back and one I really like. Granted there are some anatomical faults but I enjoy the level of detail in it. I have decided to use this imagine and do it as a new digital piece by adding some colour and more character to it. I'll keep you posted on progress so you can see my work flow.

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait! OK, its done in my style but really it was more an experimental piece as I've finally got a touch sensitive pen to do my drawings with. And what a difference!!!! The picture isn't really finished yet, skin needs more work but it was a good practice piece.

My First Digital Work

This was my first attempt at doing digital Sci Fi. It is something that took a great deal of time and was part of a huge learning curve in learning in how to use brushes, layers and the myriad of tools available on photo shop. My method of working was probably not the best or the quickest and although I still am not 100% happy, I have called this finished now. Overall, I am quite pleased with myself considering it was my first attempt and all done with a mouse.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my blog.  OK bare with me as I've nothing to show yet but I will shortly uploading my artwork and sharing with you my process, inspiration and final work.  I shall look forward to your comments and hope you aren't too critical!! First I have to work out how to get this all set up :)
