Painting from Photos

Was compelled to paint something more realistic since I didn’t do so at the 3 hour long pose workshop at the Drawing Club today.  So I visited Hong Ly’s characterdesigns.com to get a photo that I wanted to do a digital painting of.  For those unfamiliar with Characterdesigns.com, it’s a great photo reference library of character poses that character & creature designer Hong Ly has put together free of charge.  Super awesome, so check definitely check it out!

Spent about 90 minutes on this and I’m kinda satisfied with the results.  Definite structure issues, but it’s all part of the learning process.  Anyways, it’s a nice way to end the night.

So 17/1000 paintings in the bag.   I’m gonna get to 1000, eventually.  And hopefully I’ll know what I’m doing by the end of it.

Hard work?

Goodnite!

  Cool!!! Nice to see you trying all kinds of things! The angle is hard, so structure must have been very difficult, but I think you did a great job!
