Very cool! Can't get enough of your sketches Jason.
I like the stylized look to her arms and hands. Kind of a Jack Davis look if you don't mind me saying. Again the black/white contrast grabs the attention and keeps it rivoted where it needs to be.
Wow - It's Looking good - I love the hair! Almost looks like a lost member of the Addams family! Is this how you always progress a digital painting (blocking in main values first)?!
Thank you Bobby, Bill, and Tim! And Bill, I don't mind the reference to Jack Davis . . . a childhood hero of mine!
Tim, I don't always start out this way, I'm thinking of leaving this piece black and white but adding a bit of color faintly here and there. I'll go over some of my painting techniques during my course.
Looking awesome so far Jason. Good to see you back too. Haven't been here in a couple weeks!
Beautiful shape over-all! The negative space is really nice too. I don't know who Amy is. (I have only heard of her)
Congrats on SILA!
very very, very nice!
great likeness!
This is a work fantastic. I like the "non finito" of the hand with the cigar.
I see the recent issue of "BLENDER" was a major source of inspiration for you. I normally wouldn't pick it up but when I saw it on the newstand I knew that was at least one of your reference pics...and once inside I found the Amy reference. I always like to see the images a person uses to see how they approach their work.
Both the Jay Z and Amy Winehouse pieces are stellar...brilliant work as always!
Thank you Wouter, Marco, Fred, Restrepo, and Vincenzo!
Vin, you're right about the issue of Blender, I couldn't resist when I saw the picture of Jay-Z . . . I'm working on a cool idea for the finish of both pieces . . . will be cool I think.
She is fantastic character!
Amazing work!:o)
Heh...you made her look healthier than in real life :D
Great work on the rough parts-plastic parts-combo.
