Description Found an older artwork that I'm posting. (More of a study than a full blown portrait. And, better uploaded than sitting doing nothing.) Done in Painter, GIMP and Photoshop.

The reference was from the lovely and can be found here: [link] .

Thanks man! I keep telling myself: with every artwork, I learn something. On this one I learned about three things.

Hayato-S In reply to bolsterstone [2010-10-09 06:42:58 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome. Care to share what are those three things?

bolsterstone In reply to Hayato-S [2010-10-09 07:14:13 +0000 UTC]

Sure but I must confess that it is really more than three. There were five things I learned in doing this one. I started to figure out: 1) a little bit on how the channel setting on Photoshop works (never tried using Channels before); 2) a slightly better technique on preparing a grayscale underpainting before laying on colours and lighting effects (using a green tinged greyscale); 3) a new tool in Artrage that allows me to actually manipulate and rotate the images easier; 4) a new lighting combination using this colour scheme; and 5) a different approach to tackling anatomical shapes like lips (by emulating an impasto effect).
