On Hiatus

Sorry everybody, im currently on hiatus due to other things ive been working on. Once i have the time ( and motivation ) i will pick up where i left off. Hopefully with more original art and a lot less "copy-cat" stuff.

Table Top



I kept shading and lighting in this one to a minimum because i didnt want to spend several hours making this piece. I've always liked simplicity anyway, not every artists needs to have a super realistic drawing style. Everybody's a little different, and so is their art. At first i used to laugh at Picasso's work because it looked like a 5 year old kid could produce it, but after a while it didnt seem so bad. I mean, could you imagine if everybody's artwork looked the same? What a nightmare that would be.

Painting - Green FLower


 A digital painting of a green flower next to a sunset. Not very impressive although i do like how the sunset turned out. No reference images were used in making this, it was all done from imagination... although you could probably already tell. Ive noticed how most beginning artist's have a tendency to make things look very flat whenever they draw anything without using a reference. Although this painting here is somewhere in between flat and three dimensional.....2.5D?...lol

Vector Art - Beautiful Angel



This is another portrait i created for a friend of mine. I havent done many vector pieces because i wanted to go back and work on the fundamentals of art which is drawing, but vector graphics has a huge appeal factor to me because they are so crisp, clean, and scalable. Ive also thought about getting into real paint or oil maybe even charcoal mediums, but that is for a later date. By experimenting with different styles and mediums Im hoping to find my own unique way of doing art, one that i will never grow tired of. As it stands right now, vector graphics are on the top of my list of art styles, but that may change in the future.

Vector Art - Self Portrait


This is a self portrait i did while learning how to do vector style art. For those who dont know what vector graphics is, it's a form of scalable graphics based on geometrical primitives such as lines, curves, polygons, and points. Art created using vector based modeling can be scaled up indefinitely and never lose quality, where as rasterized formats such as jpeg, gif, png ect... they all get pixelated when scaled up or magnified.

Now for simplicity's sake ive posted a rasterized version of my self portrait because uploading the .svg file seem to be a little tricky and i like to keep things simple ^_^.

Deep Paint 2.0



I've had this program sitting in my computer for a while now so i decided to give it a spin, and surprisingly i like it more than the previous program i was using. Deep Paint has way more features and way more mediums than Art Rage. This program feels so much better to paint in,  i think i might stick with it for a while. I tried drawing brown eggs but the whole paint / lighting / shadow / color thing takes some getting used to. Anyway, enjoy the brown eggs ive painted lol.

Oh and btw, This program is completely free, which is kind of a big deal considering this same program used to sell for around $299 when it was first released. So everyone with a digital pen tablet should have this program in their computer.
