Thanks for reminding me of my ex. Just jk? I knew instantly who she was just by checking out those nice pouty, sexy, gorgeous, beautiful, alluring, radiant, fascinating, refined, shapely, huge lips.

Your welcome. I love your work. Yeah, she looked like Angelina, but a Filipino version. Her lips were huge! This one time I told her to close her eyes & that I had a gift for her. As her eyes were closed, I brang my mini Dirt Devil vacuum hidden behind the couch. Just when I was about to suction her lips, her eyes opened wide. Like any other man, I ran. Anyways, I just checked out your open canvas videos on Youtube. The drawings look great, but I'm curious. Are they done in real time?

ah no! OpenCanvas event files are played faster than they are made, I don't think there's a way to control it.

Amazing likeness! Very tough to do.

If you are interested in the painterly vector style you really gotta check out

Oh, I definitely know of her and love her work.

I'd do these more often, the problem is that after a certain number of brush strokes, my system starts to lag and it really dampens my enthusiasm to continue the piece (or start one, knowing what'll happen eventually). I'm looking into how much memory I'll have to add in order to prevent this.

ShinyFriction In reply to TAHOpaints [2009-09-15 17:14:04 +0000 UTC]

Ah that's unfortunate about your system lag. I used to work in IT and I build my own PCs so if you decide you need any help with upgrades just let me know. It's much easier than people think.

TAHOpaints In reply to ShinyFriction [2009-09-15 17:39:27 +0000 UTC]

I have no qualms about upgrading but do I need an external HD or memory? Because I really like the portability of my laptop -_-

ShinyFriction In reply to TAHOpaints [2009-09-15 18:07:39 +0000 UTC]

It sounds like you need memory (RAM). Generally you want at least 2GB for digital art.

Now that you mention you are using a laptop it might not be as trivial an upgrade as I had assumed. Laptop memory costs a lot more and taking apart and reassembling a laptop can be tricky. Of course if you are technically inclined it can be done.

TAHOpaints In reply to ShinyFriction [2009-09-15 18:28:56 +0000 UTC]

Ah. Hm.. But I think I do have 2GB in here or even more. I think Illustrator just takes up so much memory.

ShinyFriction In reply to TAHOpaints [2009-09-15 18:52:27 +0000 UTC]

My laptop has 2GB of ram and runs Illustrator well so I am thinking it is most likely your cpu or your graphics chip. Unfortunately those cannot be upgraded on a laptop.

Of course there may be some Illustrator settings or techniques I can hunt down that would help. I recently followed an article on optimizing Photoshop CS3 and it made a big difference for my system.

Ive always thought that despite of being a very beautiful woman, Angelina Jolie's face was really difficult to draw! :S

TAHOpaints In reply to MariuSama [2009-09-11 18:35:28 +0000 UTC]

I actually do find her difficult to draw. My very first deviation of her just looked like a man with swollen lips LOL.

Something off about her left eye.. eyelashes perhaps? or a bit more shading?

nonetheless.. EPIC!!

The same brushes can be found in Photoshop, and can be customized as such in almost any digital painting program. Don't ask me to teach you Illustrator, ask yourself what you've learned in art school and apply it to any program/medium you use.

haha I was hoping my eyes weren't deceiving me because I know a lot of artists hate when people say "this character looks just like this character" haha and I was hoping this wasn't one of those!

Oh my goodness, vector! I'd have never guessed! I love the messy, brushy goodness of it. And the colours you've used are fantastic. Something about oranges/peaches and blues is just amazing. Guess it's 'cause they're complimentary, emirite? Anyways. I most adore her glossy, pink lips. Gorgeous.

Thanks, babe! It was fun to do. I loved running the brushes freely like I do with paint. It's been so long since I last vectored something, finally out of the rut!
