Electronic Sketch Book...

...hmm cool!!


:chug:

[remedial]

niiice. something about being able to go out and create digital paintings from real life, like you are, sounds so snazzy. :beer:

[sepulveda]

outside on your porch?????.....exactly where do you live???, in the red light district???
or is that someone you know....

[BluePencilArtist]

Very nice and I like it second one alot.
What kind laptop you use?
:chug:

[MindCandyMan]

these are awesome...I was considering getting a laptop sometime as well.

[Duracel]

Yep, damn cool. thought about a laptop for lifepainting too, but i ve not enough money.

But those examples tell me "do it, its great" ;)

Like the second and last.

[MGH]

Great stuff, as usual.
Definitely give us the technical lowdown on your hardware Android.
I had a G3 power book but found it lagged a bit in Painter. I'm looking to upgrade. Any suggestions anybody? There was a thread a while ago about the tablet PC. If it works, I would imagine it to be much more practical than hauling around a laptop AND a tablet.

[endregan]

haha thats awesome dood. must get a bit hard to bring outside and out and about but im sure youve got it all worked out. i like them all really, not sure about the last, looks like a hooker of some sort (no offense), :)

[Mort]

i like ur style..im going to copy it and forgete where i saw it :)
have a beer :chug:

[God-Of-Zilla]

Hey

Very impressive lighting in the first one and the others are great too and only 15 minutes :):thumb:

Later
Matthew

[Android]

thanks,

as far as my hardware, i am running on a 17 inch mac g4 powerbook
1 gig processor 1 gig ram,
and i use a new platinum 9x12 intous 2 wacom .
and i am using painter 7.
the platinum tablets are pretty identical to the standard intuos 2 tablets but the surface of the tablet has a new texture that adds some more tangiable feedback to the pen, very nice touch.


the 3rd one is my favorite, and for clarification, she is not a hooker, she is a muse of mine, and a very good one i might add.
i was one of those split second impulse paintings, i started to paint is as soon as she said she had to leave to try and capture an anxious moment.

[killing.people]

whoa, how interesting.

[MGH]

Thanks for the info Android.
That Platinum tablet sounds interesting. Assuming that it's the plastic overlay that has the 'texture', I'm wondering if one could slap that on any tablet.
Is the performance of Painter on the powerbook just as good as on the desktop (assuming you're not dealing with huge files)?

[behemot5]

:eek:

[dodowa]

highlight!!!!!
great highlight!!:D

:chug:

[cos]

Great work Android really love that second piece, has very nice fluidity and realism!

[NewAgeSamurai]

can i call you jesus now?

[DragonGX]

Ive always wondered, what brushes do you use in your portraits? For example in that first one. I know you use some kind of chalky textured for little details, but for the main rendering what brushes do you use?

[nardfrog]

How on erath could you work with a laptop and a wacom on your lap?!! Do you place the wacom ontop of the keyborad? IM perplexed. Damn cool idea by the way; going out and do life drawins on a fucking laptop, pure genius!
I was had a simalar idea, i could make director movies and talk to hot chicks at the beach at the same time.

[Tomasis]

the third is damn cool.. unbelievable that it was painted in 15 min .. nice hardwares

[metaphysiks]

great stuff, what brush did you use on the first and second one?
again great stuff.
meta

[Solidarnosi]

Wow, awesome work. Do you have a website, Android?

And I'm also wondering how many laps you have, for computer + tablet?

Great idea --- Soli

I set the laptop on a chair, i have the wacom on my lap.
i over use loaded pallet knife alot. sometimes i stand.

[Ant4d]

Wow Android. Very good one.
:chug:

cheers
anton

[Glenn K]

NICE!!

I like the tension created by having the head placed so close to the left edge of the painting.

[AmadorL]

20 min huh.....I could of done that in 5 with my eyes closed, wity watta wooddy, j/k.....

One of my teachers used to tell me to squint my eyes and see what I am paintingto see value, so when I see something I like I seem to squint without noticing. I squinted today and saw TIGHT lighting! ...but you know what caught me off guard ? ....the ear.... yes yes I know that it only took you 20 min. but I just thought I would mention it. anywho.....Nice job big pimp'n....

[Francis]

Very nice! Elisabet Ney... are you an Austinite by any chance? I lived there for twelve years, great town. You certainly are the portraiture machine!

[facezero]

good sense!
your touch made good form~
i'll try~ like yours
thanks android^^

[MindCandyMan]

awesome andrew...the palette knife is the best

[jwo]

i absolutely love these and the idea of a digital sketchbook now if we could only do something about the jack daniel's vision . ;)

[strych9ine]

20 min for that last piece?

I think I just shat myself. The second piece you originally posted is beautiful, excellent color palette and realism.

[softdrawer]

a little sketchy but u probly were looking for the lighting soo i guess it's pretty good !

nice work

alx

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Android,

It looks like your having fun using the flat brush. I like using that, gives you some interesting effects that resemble the flat edge brush used for oil painting. Cool stuff.

C.J.A.

[ilkka]

wow..absolutely brilliant!!:drool:

[davi]

i love the girl with the ciggerate, itl ooks like you did some cartoon styliazation on her breasts which makes it great

[Erik]

Andrew you are so great.

[afklamer]

Dam cewl

hm ill have to try it on my next class 2 =)

[Jeff Gran]

Andrew

That is really awesome. A brave new world is right. It's like instant paint with no hassles or drying times, and unlimited colors. The evolution of the easel. I wonder if the old masters ever wished they could paint on a whim, to capture a moment? All the pieces you show look great. You have a very appealing style. Keep it up and thank you for showing us, it is inspirational.

[thomasaurus]

your are the next Craig Mullins. Seriously.

I made this on the show floor at the sandiego comic con.

I.was.ink was a pretty patient model, i only had about 25 minutes of battery life on my laptop when i started so i rushed it a bit,

[killing.people]

that looks just like him! im sure. very kind of you andriod. i very-much-so love the use of line in this portrait.

[MindCandyMan]

That's awesome! You were creating quite a stir from what I heard...people were stopping to admire your skills. Great job on this one man. Man...under 25 minutes is such a short time...wow.

[Kortez]

Amazing! Can't believe nobody rated this masterpiece thread... here we go :)

Doing something like THAT in less than 25 minutes. You're incredible!

[Glenn K]

AWESOME!

[DragonGX]

Hey Andrew, are you guys going to be coming down to Ringling again anytime soon? Id love to see some demonstrations, since i missed them last year

[I.was.ink]

Thanks Mr. Jones!

*changes avatar*

[Jimmy Scifi]

You got skills brother, I love the fact that you guys hook up and do these sort of things, I gues it intrgues me cause i'm so far away. Nice one:D

[strych9ine]

That's really sweet, man. You've got some amazing portrait skills. I'm gonna have to fly out to the next comic con in San Diego... any you guys ever stop by the Chicago shindig?

I.was.ink, that is just about the coolest comic con loot you could ever get... :chug:

[Ant4d]

yeee!
:chug:

[Pencil Soldier]

[Loga4]

Very good stuff,Andrew!
Awesome!

[fukifino]

Do any of you incredible SoCal artists ever get together for anything? I'd love to just go and meet you all and (if yer doin' an art thing) observe or participate. I'm in Irvine.

Keep me in mind if you have a less intimate gathering that you wouldn't mind a stranger showing up to. :)

[MindCandyMan]

Awesome Andrew...excellent stuff! Great to see the infamous Mr. Manley as well.

[Ant4d]

beautiful.. very original techniques

[benzo]

dittos to all of the above Android! Manley's lookin kind of haggard since last I saw him. Love the figure stuff; I want to see what you can do with a longer pose......
