Description Its been a while! Something quick-ish I did for a short piece in ImagineFX on casting shadows on flesh. 10th anniversary issue out - don't buy it for my article, buy it coz it features such art gods as Boris and Syd Mead!

Pencil sketch, paint in photoshop.

You know someone is great at drawing people in a semi-stylised way, when the human characters still have sex-appeal, as this clearly does.

You do have a gift for that natural look of dimension making even your cartoonish looks come off as a person!

Great work as usual ! Nice to see it is something quick-ish, to get a result remotely close to that I would have to work about a week.

Thanks man! Quick-ish in this case was just over a day... it really depends on what someone defines as quick-ish I guess

Why is ImagineFX so hard to find where I live. -_-

Absolutely beautiful rendering. Your lighting has always felt so real, but I'd be eager to see it done bit by bit.

Thank you for your kind words... I'm either blushing, or the fact that its still around 30 degrees at 10:45pm is causing the red face It IS a hard magazine to find here in Australia... though a friend says his local library gets it in.
Its a short article, so not much 'step by step' stuff... mostly discussion about colours etc.
Anyway, lovely of you to come by and comment!

Haha that's right, you're here too. Yeah, Brisbane seems relatively unscathed by this heat wave, but it's still more hot than I'd like.

Still, any thoughts on your way of painting skin is something I'd be into.

Yeah, sorry about that My only excuse is, short deadline and the client asked for a male torso to demonstrate shadows on... and I think I gave them a bit extra

I'm not sure where to begin with all the awesome fun in this. A portrait of Michelangelo sculpting David(isn't the sculpture a little small? Lol). A mini shading tutorial on the reference board. The slightly bored model. The can that explains the pose. I'm curious how much Michelangelo looks like you...
Wonderful!

Thanks Jodie! No long black beard or cream coloured headband for me... in fact the only similarities I have with either character is I could really do with a cold 'Bere' right now as its been over 100f degrees today.Β

Oy! I forget sometimes that Australia is coming up on mid summer. Try to keep cool. I'd offer to send you some of our cold, but it's been I bit warm here for the time of year.
