Description
I want to say thank you to all of you for your kind comments on Venus !. It really means a lot to me.So I want to share these images with you. It's not like a step by step but I know these bad photos may help somebody out there.
For the people who think that Venus is a digital painting, I take your comments as a compliment and thanks for that. However is sad to think that a machine could do better than the hand which is the most wonderful piece of engineering that Mother Nature ever created. But more important than the hand is the mind and the spirit that guide it.
My advise to all those young artist with talent (and I know many personally) is to keep it real. It's hard and frustrating and that's why it worth it.
So don't give up!
And once again Thanks!

woow just woow! your work is amazing! The pencil work thats involved in this must have been gorgeous allready! but how in the world are you able to create such smooth gradients over tiny as well as huge areas without a single stroke showing?

Thank you.
I used an airbrush for the large areas and fine paint brush for the detail and small areas.
In some areas you can see strokes but I tried to minimize the effect.
I wish I had a camera or scanner when I did the pencils, to preserve a high res file as I do now. These are all the photos that I got from the entire process.

Stunning work. The figure is gorgeous - sumptuous tones. I also love how beautifully designed the water is. Keep up the excellent work!

very cool how you worked on all the worrisome stuff in-studio, then did the less stressful stuff at the convention(cause you'd really want to lug an air compressor to a convention lol)...
I'm totally nosy, and I'm sure you're too busy to answer my question but what brand of airbrush do you prefer to use? I was graciously loaned an Iwata HP-C plus from a friend...it was a wonderful experience, though learning to be patient when cutting and masking with frisket is probably one of the hardest parts of the process lol
I pray, bleed, sweat, and cry draw, and paint(or at least smear some marker ink on something) every waking day that I'll be able to do illustrations like this at some point in my life. Some people are blessed at birth with talent, but a lot of us have to work really hard for it...I mean ridiculously hard...I mean so hard, its hard to think I'd ever live off commission money, ever...
one can dream.
