Friday Painting

I wish I could post more, but I'm so busy at work right now. But here's something I did in our figure drawing session. It was meant to be a caricature, but I think I ended up normalizing him too much as I painted over the drawing.

Wow great piece! Heh, it's more exaggerated than my characatures ever end up being!

WOW, excellent job . . . still a caricature . . . the body's more realistically porportioned . . . . nice job! IF you don't mind me asking, I'm just starting to learn how to use painter, I was wondering what brushes you like to use?

David Malan said...

I think its great. I really like when pictures blur the line between characature and realistic styles.

Thanks everyone!

Jason: I mostly use a couple custom brushes---one of them is the 2B pencil with the method changed to cover, and the other is one that Ryan Wood made. I think my favorite brush straight out of the box is the Captured Acrylic, although it runs slow if you get it too big.
