practice- mohawk

so someone told me this is actually jared leto. uh, i wouldn't really know but, okay.

acrylic portrait. Back from break, so back to traditional work.

My photo ref was black/white, so I made up the flesh tones n all.

About 1 1/2 hours, total, not including random wandering breaks?

I'm happy that my traditional time and digital time are almost identical now.

Django monochrome

There's some things i'll probably change/tweak when I color it later tonight.

The last two portraits I did (clint eastwood and jeff bridges) were really loose, so I tried to tighten this one up a bit.

This is Django, of the Spaghetti Western of the same name. He is the MAN. Carries a submachine gun around in a coffin.

photoshop CS5, 2 1/2 hours I think? Dunno, wasn't paying attention to time.

The Good. Clint.

monochrome- 1 1/2 hours.

Colour- one more hour so 2 1/2 hours in all.

I think i like the one i did of jeff bridges better.

Oh well, had fun :)

Background
Idea.

more photoshop.

'nother cowboy ill. I have another one dreamed up already that I'll sketch up tonight. It'll be another cowboy, but he won't be doing cowboy things. For once.

... I think i just like drawing outrageous cartoony expressions lately.

On cowboys and armadillers

On another cowboy kick.

Photoshop cs5

havin' fun. Not really that tight on the colouring but hey, I had fun. AND there's an armerdiller!

may do more to it sometime, but it was really just more for fun. May do another tonight.

1 hour
1 hour 45 minutes.

Saw True Grit for the second time tonight. God I love that movie. Decided to warm up by painting the amazing Jeff Bridges. Now, onto some more cowboys/great depression paintings. I'm on a digital kick today.

Depression

this... just... .happened. and i really like it. old depression lady caricature almost.
guy in it...
and without.

Just mucking about with great depression/dustbowl ideas. Why? dunno. Why not.

Haven't done any digital in quite awhile, thought I'd give 'er another whirl.
