Thats fantastic mate, the face in particular. Always found faces the hardest to get right.

This thread makes me want to draw again, has been a while.

Thanks for the link. So you'd recommend that one then?

Quick question, does the size of the pad limit the size of your drawing? Sorry for the dumb question.

Nope doesn't limit your drawing size - I wouldn't fancy using any smaller than an A5 tablet though.

Brilliant, thanks for that. Going to keep an eye on that tablet and get it if it remains cheap. What would you say is a reasonable price to pay?

Thanks

An absolute bargain if it stays within your budget range.

If you think that's nice, check out the Wacom Cintiq.

Haha, I saw that but that's so far removed from my impoverished student life that I didn't even depress myself by reading how great it was.

Loving the second one Shifty, there's a real sense of depth to it.

I haven't touch my tablet since the last time I posted here, I just haven't had the time, I really should set aside a couple of hours a week for drawing!

shifty_uk · 15 Jul 2011 at 22:10

Thanks man. Similar style but not as decent:

gord · 15 Jul 2011 at 22:19

Shifty was it your work with the guy in the armour?

Great style anyway. Loving the second one on #191.

On the last one, there's something a little out of place with her face. I don't know whether its the strength of the jaw line or the hair too far back on the right side. I'd try making the jaw line a bit more feminine and bringing a strand of hair down in front of her ear. Might not work at all, just offering some ideas for you to take or leave.

Thanks dude. Yeah, kinda dropped that image, was good for sketching/working out that style of rendering but nothing more!

Some updates:

Random model

My other half

Come on chaps

Thread revival

I'm contemplating doing digital/mixed media portraits to subsidise earnings, not really sure what the market is like, though.

Niiice!

I know this thread has kinda fell on its rear end but here's a couple more and I have a question: I get random messages sent through tumblr or email asking mostly about photoshop, tutorials and brushes so I stuck a FAQ section on my site: http://ryanarts.co.uk/blog/?page_id=57 If there's any other questions you feel I could write about then please ask

Paintings have improved a lot Shifty. Think your lighting needs a lot of work, there isn't much contrast or indication of light sources at the moment.

keep it up.
