well, I can do step 1 and 2, although it will take my entire day
If I try really hard and study for a few months, I can probably do step 3
If I study really hard for 10 years, I can probably even pull off step 4
that means, by my calculations,
I will be an awesommer artist than you in approximatly 34253658556768647575746549663756374666475666 eons

Thanks a lot! I'm happy you noticed that about my work
I like to make my portraits a bit more unique- especially if I have seen other artists use the same reference picture
(Don't worry, your english is great )

Great result!
Do you use dodge and burn tools or do you just paint?
(i ask because painter's dodge and burn tools suck)

Sheridan-J In reply to sharprm [2011-03-04 09:07:02 +0000 UTC]
Absolutely. I use it mostly for finishing touches though, to darken areas such as around the eyes, wrinkles, and to get those highlights (the white along the side of his face) to really stand out

Did you see that ad for Terra Nova during the superbowl last night? There was one character who was clearly ripped off this dude. When he said "Welcome to Terra Nova," you could tell there were several takes before that where he accidentally said "Pandora."

I never thought to do a grid reference. That's given me a great idea! thank you
Does it make it easier?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sheridan-J In reply to JenniferHunter [2011-01-28 10:11:22 +0000 UTC]
Absolutely. And quicker!
I used to spend about 1-2 hours slaving over my initial sketch/lineart to get it as perfect as possible.
With the grid, I get the exact same result in about 10-20 minutes

JenniferHunter In reply to Sheridan-J [2011-01-28 10:15:09 +0000 UTC]
does it also help you work in sections? i struggle with composition of my pieces and end up stuffing it because i did a crease in the wrong place.
Sorry to bombard you with questions but also how do you create your skin texture?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sheridan-J In reply to JenniferHunter [2011-01-28 11:10:53 +0000 UTC]
Personally, I prefer to work on it evenly and add in tones/layers on the whole thing as I go. It makes it a lot easier to sit back and take in the whole picture and just build up all the tones before getting into the detail.
(It's tricky to explain, but you can see how it works in this WIP video: [link] ).
I suppose I just held onto that technique when I used to paint on canvas Sometimes I see people work on one small area at a time (such as an eye) and do an incredible amount of detail, then realize the eye is in the wrong place as the painting develops
As for skin texture, I use downloaded Photoshop brushes. If you have Photoshop CS (or above) I'd recommend the David Nagal set: [link] The set created by :devadonhis: is pretty awesome too [link]
Hope that helps
