Field of Lilies Redo WIP 11

I managed to do a teeny tiny bit more work yesterday (Saturday morning).. :-)

Field of Lilies Redo WIP 10

Its been two whole months since I last worked on this piece, but I saw it sat in my art file on my PC the other day and wondered how I could have ever forgotten it or lost the will to work on it. so I have picked it up as something to work on hopefully to fruition this time. This concept has now been over two years in the making, and this is the second incarnation. Its a joy to work on. Theres still work to do but I'm really gettting there with this piece. :-)

Photoshop however has randomly erased all of my custom brushes. I am very unimpressed with this! I was really proud of my new grass brush and my painting brushes were all JUST how I liked them, now I cant seem to find that perfection again. What a pain computers can be!!

Portrait Commission Final

Can't believe I forgot to post this here.. sorry! Enjoy :-) This is a commission I finished a few weeks ago now.

Portrait Commission WIPs

Some WIPs of a commission I just finished. This is the son of a guy I shoot with (competition archery, not archery/guns for hunting. Guns/hunting are bad, kids!).

First two were taken on my phone (hence poor quality), the second two were taken on my camera (hence better quality). Final piece will be posted in my nest blog update.

Had quite a bit of fun on this, this little chappie has a nice cheeky grin which was quite a challenge to capture, but I think I have done well! :-) Fingers crossed my client likes it. :-)

Took roughly the usual amount of time for a portrait this size, though to be honest I wasn't too on the ball about keeping track of my time on it this time so I may have gone over a bit, I'm not sure. Used the usual mechanical pencil for it all, and deepened the shading with some nice soft B pencils, up to 4B this time. :-)

Enjoy! :D
