when i first created her for class a year ago.

steampunk lady WIP

I decided to try something different for once and NOT focus mainly on the face.  I had fun actually drawing an outfit.  This is a character I created a year ago in one of my classes for an assignment.  I figured I'd try and do more with her.

The Progress Thus Far....

the sketch.

blocking in the colors.

i was feeling "eh" about this, but then i decided i liked her facing this way better. haha.

scribbling in highlights and such.

testing the rim lighting.

Adding even more shadows and highlights and tightening it up.

I was pretty surprised to see how much I actually did.

Playing around with textures and tones:

Where I left off for the night...a lot more to be done!

To be Continued.....

SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE

i've decided to start using this again while i make speed painting videos.
updates: i've now graduated art school and currently looking for a job!


anyhoo....here's the hi-res photo from the video i made of it!   https://vimeo.com/70072805
(soon to be posted on youtube in the future)

Maisie Williams as Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. (one of my absolute favorite characters)
Song- House Stark Theme from the Game of Thrones Soundtrack

This is the first portrait I've done on my new cintiq. I started off not painting how I use to, but then I fixed it haha. I know there's a lot more I could've done, but I was losing interest and I wanted to upload the video!

I need a new recording program because the one I use darkens the computer screen area that you aren't recording (hence why the reference is the video because I couldn't see it) Since I didn't want this to take too long, I just used the eye dropper on the painting itself instead of making a palette or guessing the colors.
