Digital Facial Study
I’ve been playing around with Corel Painter 11 to gain more familiarity. What a yummy program! The ability to combine digital mediums that would be incompatible in the real world is pretty cool, marker and chalk over oils for example. I plan to put it through its “real world” paces not just as a finished art platform but for doing quick impromptu sketches and studies. On this facial study I used marker, oils, pencil, chalk, blending stump and eraser. Painter works better as a digital sketching platform than I imagined. I know this is not new. There are tons of great illustrators working in Painter but I need to find for myself the most comfortable approach. More experiments to come.
Jimmy Doolittle
Had fun doing this sketch of famous WWII aviator Jimmy Doolittle while playing around with some loose pencil styles one night. I posted more details about him here on my old blog.
