Thats actually really good, I've tried real-life faces before and they always seem "off" somehow. Great job on her proportions.

Matt Brosch Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 They are certainly becoming more menacing. I think I like the last one the best. The one a couple prior to that is pretty cool too, has a messianic, Jesus-at-the-circus-on-LSD kinda vibe to it. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one a couple prior to that is pretty cool too, has a messianic, Jesus-at-the-circus-on-LSD kinda vibe to it. I am using water colors, but on some I am laying it on thick with tube paint rather than from dry palette, so it looks more like acrylics or oils. On the last few (not the Goon inspired ones) I had been sketching the oval face divided into thirds to make sure my eyes were less off kilter and to get the mouth and nose in the right place, but that last one was done all free hand with the brush. An eye is off kilter, but I'm not sure it detracts on that one. I've stopped using a photo reference. Another 10 or 15 and I might actually do a good one. I'm making progress. Anyway, I watch a couple of hours of TV a night with my wife (it is a couple of hours where she isn't yelling at me!), so it keeps me busy painting rather than just vegging out watching TV. Face "portraits" is not something I have done much of. I did a couple of self portraits, painted a few models in studio classes, so this is a change of pace. I have an idea of what I want to do with them, but I need a bunch more. I did one more last night while falling asleep 20 minutes into "Helstrom" (not blaming the show, I drank a fair amount of wine while handing candy out last night...)... side by side with some art by a "real" artist up on my wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Less Blob Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I don't have markers. I'm using what i have. I have water colors, oils (water based and regular ones), and oil pastels. I'm not using the oil based stuff because of the odor and mess as I am doing this in my living room on a dinner tray table that is not even 16 x 20. I know these thick ones are not the way water color "should" be done, I am painting more like acrylics or oil, but what is "should?" The line ones that are not laid on thick are more like ink drawings, true, but here's a water color by George Pratt (yes, most of his look more like "real" water colors, like the civil war soldier pictured).. kav and Poekaymon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
