WoweeWowWOW!

My hat's (literally) off to the my fellow artists on this board. Especially to Gene and Cat. Cat, do you use a particular filter to get that fantastic pastel effect? Also, do you take commissions?

My contribution to this awesome thread is a large version of my avatar picture. I'm not entirely happy with the way the hat turned out. I guess I'll just have to keep at it until I get it right!

 

To cool!!! :eusa_clap

 

Just discovered this thread--fantastic work, HPG! I particularly love the Stevie Ray work...very nice!

I cheated I used Photoshop! LOL but thanks!

Ronin, I don't use filters.. it's the behaviour of the particular painting tools in Corel-Painter.. I try to paint as transparantly as long as I have to (I think in analog painting it's called 'glacing', just like the old masters used to do and like I used to do before going digital) working from dark to light.. The pastel effect is a result of the 'dry-brush' I use lol lol It's fun messing around without getting messy

 

:arated: Yeah, I really envy Gene's masterful skills :eusa_clap

 

Had been skipping over this thread, been too busy!

However I have to re-iterate some people's comments, there are some very skilled people here - particularly Gene, cat & roninjedi.

So, inspired I thought I'd give it a go, only had some paper, a biro, a mirror and 5 minutes to hand as I haven't really drawn since I finished art classes 12 years ago to go with computer science instead. Anyway this is what I managed.

 

5 minutes.. :eusa_clap
