I spent today working through a painting process I found on <a href="http://www.raymondswanland.com/Pages/QandA01.html">Raymond Swanland's web site</a>. I really like his lighting and coloring and learned quite a bit from working his process. I started from his original sketch and referenced the steps along the way. Click the link to check the steps in his process.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R32nFU4IlQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/mGUDL-hBAgg/s1600-h/paintLikeSwanlandFinal.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R32nFU4IlQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/mGUDL-hBAgg/s320/paintLikeSwanlandFinal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151457258727052546" border="0" /></a>My copy<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R32n404IlSI/AAAAAAAAABA/O6SwtGS6GpA/s1600-h/SwanlandOriginal.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R32n404IlSI/AAAAAAAAABA/O6SwtGS6GpA/s320/SwanlandOriginal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151458143490315554" border="0" /></a>Original<br /></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3286753059434742583-5370793530617318798?l=sketchball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark Tearehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642824466710707392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286753059434742583.post-68432864841968403002008-01-03T11:03:00.000-08:002008-12-08T23:08:06.273-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R300TE4IlPI/AAAAAAAAAAo/FoMirdoSMlQ/s1600-h/faceQuickSketch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R300TE4IlPI/AAAAAAAAAAo/FoMirdoSMlQ/s320/faceQuickSketch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151331051113059570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R300NU4IlOI/AAAAAAAAAAg/IqYL2Xu-d7g/s1600-h/headPlanningSteps.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R300NU4IlOI/AAAAAAAAAAg/IqYL2Xu-d7g/s320/headPlanningSteps.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151330952328811746" border="0" /></a><br />Profile and front views of the head are relatively straight forward for me but my 3/4 heads can sometime present more of a problem. I wanted to do some 3/4 proportion plan drawings to have a specific plan to use as a basis for the turning head to keep all of my features in correct placement and proportion to each other.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3286753059434742583-6843286484196840300?l=sketchball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark Tearehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642824466710707392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286753059434742583.post-81742693525143106102008-01-02T14:40:00.001-08:002008-12-08T23:08:06.720-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R3wTS04IlNI/AAAAAAAAAAY/QwFECNn9Z8o/s1600-h/baldman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R3wTS04IlNI/AAAAAAAAAAY/QwFECNn9Z8o/s320/baldman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151013287957664978" border="0" /></a><br />Looking at some of my old oil painting books and trying to recreate some of the exercises digitally. Thanks to Athony Ermio for the brush posted on his blog. I used that as a starting point for my rough brush.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3286753059434742583-8174269352514310610?l=sketchball.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark Tearehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01642824466710707392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286753059434742583.post-67811347243152435862007-12-26T17:02:00.000-08:002008-12-08T23:08:06.827-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R3L7xE7bkCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/WipU9km4zPw/s1600-h/machinist.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9mIxyF0aPM0/R3L7xE7bkCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/WipU9km4zPw/s320/machinist.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148454144593072162" border="0" /></a><br />I watched The Machinist yesterday (not the best Christmas movie) and was really amazed at how emaciated Christian Bale looked in it.
