RaynaCendre: thanks! I should do it more often

NickyBeats: thanks, it took me some time to get things right D:

Sargent Study made today:






Portrait study of Maura Davis, from Ambulette:

[dan liimatta]

damn - everything from the third image down are just solid (I kind of like the first female study as well - but its' a bit wonky and there is something with the colours and how you mixed them that makes her feel a bit desaturated/dirty - you use the same strokes later on other pieces and on say the Sargent studies you instead got vibrant colours so could be the ref you used just as well.

Either way really nice

[Pkmike]

dan liimatta: Thanks! yeah, I realize that dirty thing you were talking about, was more of a test, I'll try to keep an eye on this for upcoming work


Sketch of a girl, will try to get it right later


Used Cryptcrawler's technique for metal stuff, unfinished, maybe someday:


Some 10 to 15 minute photostudies:




See ya

[Alex Konstad]

This stuff is nice man! lovely rendering style, its got a lot of body too it. The CryptCrawler inspired piece is cool too, definitely looks like a Rigney. I wanna see moar!

[viki oh]

I really like your colors and the way your handling the digital paint! They've got a loose/gestural quality, but the studies also have clarity to them!

[SteFlack]

Great studies, looking forward to seeing more.

[Kiwee]

You've got a sharp eye for colors ! I particularly like the second study you posted! And, curiosity, what is the cryptcrawler technic? (cause i think the metal looks really great on your drawing hehe)

[Pkmike]

viki oh: thanks! very hard for me to get that on my works D:

[ste]: Thanks man, like a month from now I will have more time to study, now I don't have enough time D:

Kiwee: Thanks! the technic uses dodge tool with big texture brushes and then smudge and brush to make it look better, it's really not that hard. \o/

Here's some more stuff, soon I'll get my scanner to work and scan some pencil sketches

Yesterday during crimson daggers stream:


Zorn study:


From photo, quite quick:

[FlaviusChis]

Beautiful studies Mike! Who doesn't like girls hun?


I really felt like it had definitely some Cryptcrawler icecream in the piece! well done

[wooden mango]

great start so far! One thing I might suggest is using some larger brushes. Especially when you do faces, I find things get kinda streaky. Granted I'm no digital artist but i know it helped on the view acrylic pieces I've done.
