Description I'm sure there is insanity to be found in painting so many scales - every time I paint a crocodile I promise myself to NEVER do it again... but I guess I'm called 'loopy' for a reason.

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

Tremendous!
What a fantastic expressive humorous painting!
How long did this one take you to paint w/ all those scales?

Great lighting!

Yah, rendering can take quite a while! Most inspiring: You dedication, craftsmanship, tenacity, and sense of humor all coming through in the painting.

Nice! How do you draw that? I only have a mouse and paintshop pro and don't know if I should start on the body or the head when I draw? Thanks for tips

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to shairaptor [2012-05-11 12:39:48 +0000 UTC]

I first draw my picture with pencil on paper, then I scan it into photoshop.
Next I roughly block all my colours in to make sure they all work together, work out my lighting, background etc.
Once I've done this preliminary work its not really important to me as to which bit I start detail work on first, but usually its the face and eyes.
Not sure thats any help, but its the way I usually work

Uhhhh... is it wrong of me to imagine the crocodile singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" . And... er... is the gold fish, by any chance, named "Brian".

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to Mendicant [2012-05-08 10:18:21 +0000 UTC]

ALL gold fish are called Brian - doesn't matter what you call them, they all secretly know this to be true
And the croc usually plays 'Always look on the bright side of life' just before eating one of the audience... it makes it more poetic and much more meaningful.
