Self Portrait: Ink (Brush)

Haven't done much personal work recently, but I had been started this self portrait last week with the intention of going old school and ink it with a brush. unfortunately I needed new inks and didn't get round to buying some more till today.

The image is one of those common sights of how I look in the later hours of most nights.

I've made the the odd mistake here and there but I forgot how much I love inking with a brush (its been over 6 months).

Everything has been done by brush, even the signing and date, and it just feels really nice to work with.

Hope you enjoyed it, more to come later.

Another Self Portrait and New Background

So I've done another self portrait, but this time I also tried something different and digitally added colour.

It was a technique inspired by and artical by Adam Hughes in Imagine FX issue 67, I know other artists also use a simular technique of adding colour over a greyscale image but AH rocks so I followed his guiding example.

You may also notice that I've used the coloured version for my background, my monitor is one of those old square-ish one from before we went all wide screen and HD back in 2004-ish, so it doesn't quite fit my screen but if someone has something more up to date, please give me a shout if it looks ok (or not).

Till next time.

Self Portrait

Recently got some blenders for drawing (there is a technical name which currently escapes me) and this is the outcome from after playing about with them in a couple of sketches.
