Only the greatest contrasts are at first perceivable. The value range will be light, halftone, shadow. The subtler values will be lost. This is the effect to aim at when expressing strong light. To see simply is to see pictorially. In strong light there will be no color in the shadow. By using absolute shadow or black, to draw in the shadow forms, all the values can be painted in local color.

Monroe again
Just to prove that I can still actually draw, here’s Monroe from Grimm. (Silas Weir Mitchell). He’s the reason that show is still on the air. Seriously. Monroe is the best part.
Art showcase: Sherlock
Sherlock, by KanaHyde A nice character portrait. After watching only two episodes, I have to admit that I’m a bit of a fan. Although Watson is the true badass of the show.

Galena, mostly done
Well, got it mostly done tonight. I decided to downplay her lips in favor of her eyes, because her eyes are just fantastic. I read somewhere that when you’re putting on makeup, you want to emphasize either your eyes or … Continue reading
Galena, skintones construction
Working the skintones on this pic tonight. I know she looks funny with no eyebrows or lips, but she’ll improve, I promise. I feel a little bad about this pic, actually. For the initial sketch, I traced over the photo … Continue reading
More portrait practice
More portrait practice, again following the same checklist as in my last portrait post. I used the same palette of red/black/ochre, too. This time I spent more time in the sketch stage, trying to get it as accurate as possible. … Continue reading
