Painting, Craig finished maybe



This was a pretty interesting little learning exercise. I think it's a fairly accurate copy. It's not perfect, and I still see a few niggles but I think it's possible that I always will. You can overwork something like this easily.

I'm not sure exactly what I learned, not neccessarilly anything big, but lots of little tricks to speed up the process maybe.

Digital Painting, Craig: Paintball Hero

Work in progress (aren't they always). Still need to finish the body, but I'd like to get around to fixing up the mask and the neck if I can.

I've got some saves of this in various stages so maybe I'll do a mini-guide sort of deal. Might be fun.

Some more digital painting

I'm not sure if these are really finished, just looking at them now I can see a bunch of stuff wrong with them. But they were fun to do at least.

State of the IllustratUNION

I like the pun in the title too.

So I moved some stuff to the portfolio pages. It's pretty much identical to how it has been for god knows how long, but it's a tiny bit more current now. Just a tiny bit. When I get around to it I will probably update the full thing, but I am so very busy.

So me and art, where am I?

Well first of all Jim and Lucien isn't dead. I have been working on it in my spare time, but very slowly. I have drawn a couple of pages but they're out of sequence with each other so I need to fill in some blanks first. It is coming back. Whether you like it or not. (but I hope you do because it starts getting pretty good pretty soon, at least in my head).

Secondly, I want to upload some of the mini books that I have made and Oli W has featuring some of my work. The last one he did about books as a whole was pretty phenomenal actually. Although it might be entirely down to his leet design skills, but they made my illustrations look good.

As an addendum to that I've bought a new(ish) sketch book and it's filling up quite a bit. Once I get round to it I'll post some pretty pictures up.

Thirdly, will someone please give me a job? 

 

Ps, watch game of thrones.

Experiment #2 WiP

This is a work in progress, but it came out ok. I'm deliberatly practicing digital painting in Black and White for now as I need to learn how to use tone more effectively. I intend to do a colour version too.
