Putin

Finally finished this one of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Originally this was an assignment for Seiler's class but alas didn't finish in time being that other stuff came up. Anyway hope you like it. My monitor calibrating equipment should come in this week and I will recheck all my colored works to make sure they are what I want them to be.

The latest assignment.

Finally able to post the next assignment. Took longer than I would have liked but over all I am happy with it. I have a few other projects on my plate. A bunch of caricatures for my daughters Girl Scout troop as well as a colored pencil portrait and finishing up a dog caricature that I have been doing.

My drawing hands wrist has been bothering me a bit lately so I haven't drawn as much per day to try and rest it up. I have also been training myself to draw lefty. Very interesting experience that is.

Hopefully I will have something new to post soon. Maybe that Randy when I finish it.

The third assignment

The third assignment was a study in values (you can see now how I incorporated this lesson in with the Rowan Atkinson). The sketch this is done from was Seiler's I just did the painting from it. I am well on my way to completing my next assignment which is similar though it is monochromatic not just black and white.

Rowan along.......

As promised here are some sketches from the second lesson followed by a progression of Rowan Atkinsom depictions starting with the Sketchbook Pro sketch through to the completed photoshop painting.

class sketches

Here are some sketches I did for the first lesson in Seiler's Caricature class.
They are in reverse order.

I will post images from the second lesson soon though I actually watched the third lesson prior to doing the finished drawing so I incorporated the learning from that lesson as well. It is going to be a finished piece of Rowan Atkinson. I have been working on it all morning but went a wee bit too long between my last two saves and when I went to save it photoshop shutdown unexpectedly losing about an hour or so of work. Grrrrr!!!! gotta remember to save more frequently. Oh well it is good practice. Looking back at the Hanks below now, I can't believe I turned that crap in.
