Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart from Twilight. I don't really understand the mass hysteria these actors and films cause, but what do I know? I still think Over the Top is one of the greatest films of all time.
I slashed through my right hand the other day which rendered me unable to draw due to the confines of the gauze. Just thought i'd explain the lack of posts.
And yes, typing this did take a stupid amount of time.
I haven't seen this Precious movie, nor do I know anything about it, really. But I saw this poster for it and it intrigued me. I painted this the opposite way I normally do - from black to white rather than white to black. Unsuccessful! But it was fun in that annoying, challenging way. And that's my story.
So artistswanted.com started this contest for artists from anywhere to submit a self-portrait of themselves in any type of medium they wanted. Even tattoo art, which is pretty stellar of them. The selling feature for me to enter was the fact that the exquisitely awesome Steve Buscemi is one of the judges.
So these are my submissions. If you win, you get to choose between a prize of $7007 or 6months free living in New York (i totally chose the NY option). Also the portfolio with the highest rating can win $1000. So if anyone out there who happens to be reading this right now feels like voting for me, you can click here and scroll down to the bottom and click on those stars there to rate me. Thanks friends!
This is my sketch for this week's Illustration Friday theme of 'Renewal'. I started out with the idea of an older couple renewing their vows, but now it just looks like a proposal.
Anyhow... I'm planning on colouring it up all purdy-like with a background and everything.
This is a super-fast one of Leonard Nimoy. I did it for the theme of 'Star Trek' on the secret sketch blog which I am in no way a part of / affiliated with. But (as the bot.bots can confirm), I am a fan of proclaiming myself a part of elite, by-invite-only groups. And so that is the story behind this quick painting. The end.
This be the final version. I changed the collar to make it more of a pop-up version like he used to sport. And I even added a shwanky signature to the bottom right. Neato, eh? Thanks for the encouraging words on previous posts, friends! Merry Christmas, and all that good stuff.
I usually sketch my stuff in Sketchbook Pro, but thought I'd switch it up and try starting from scratch in Photoshop instead. This is just a really quick one. I did the whole thing at 25% rather than zooming in and getting all caught up in details. I kind of like the beginning stages of this. Might take it all the way to the finish line.
