Painter IX and PS CS 1.
My hatred for the watercolor brushes in Painter grows every day. :'(

Did a little Alphonse Mucha on the hair. Should have done it in Illustrator, but ok.

Warm-up sketches

Not art-related:
My fondness of the latest Coldplay CD 'Viva la vida or death and all his friends' is starting to grow.

I recently watched the director's cut of 'Kingdom of Heaven', which is a far superior film to the theatrical release. One of the most underestimated movies of the last decade, if you ask me. Go see it. Preferably now.

Tasty Salmon

In other news: I read 'Wanted', a graphic novel by Mark Millar and the rather fantastic JG Jones. The title might sound familiar because a major motion picture based on the book is slated for release this summer. Unfortunately, the movie won't have much in common with the comic series because the story is one of complete amorality and extreme violence, which is something Hollywood just couldn't cut. A recommended read, in any case.

Lines on paper.

Skinny Love

Was listening to Bon Iver's 'skinny love'* and came up with this. What better way to honor a fantastic track than with a bland illustration?

Painter is a great program, but the watercolor brushes are harder to use than the real thing.


Some dude with swords.

'Genius' is spelled B-A-V-O

Landscape speedies

Trying to get more comfortable with various landscapes.

Joker/Batman

For this Joker/Batman picture I got inspired by some artist (don't know his name) that had an awesome sketchy digital style.

Brush pen

Doodles with a brushpen. No underdrawing.

Painter IX

Saccharin

Just clowning around with a sketch. Trying to get better with colors and techniques.

There's a little bit of panic in my heart

The wedding

Pang!

Womanfish.

If you squint your eyes REALLY hard, this looks alright.



Painting rocks is the hardest thing ever.

Girl walking by

The other day I walked by a girl with a red jersey. She was alluring, but was radiating sadness.

Just another day at the office

As an extra, here's a basic step-by-step.

Untitled

Painter IX handed my ass to me several times by crashing - a frustrating ordeal.
This was practise more than anything.

Shake it like a polaroid picture

The previous ones were Kofi Annan, Jude Law, Daniel Craig, Brian De Palma, Scarlett Johansson and Charlie Sheen.

Guess who

If you can guess who these persons are you win a no-prize!

La femme la plus belle du monde?
