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
