# aye I'm doing her in painter
following some new techniques from a DVD I have bought. I'm having issues working from underpainting to detail and keep losing stuff but I expect that's my lack of knowledge more than anything.

Hehe, you know my thoughts on wips in a new thread. I'm just not in the mood for being a cunt. My dad has upset me ( more than I thought he could )

# That doesnt sound good..
Whats Wip by the way?

I really like this..

I think the progression of a single piece of art has as much value as the comic strips people post etc..

And I think this particular one has 1million times the worth than a 5 minute sketch from my self that i post occasionaly..

Stop being a silly begger...

# wip
is work in progress and they have great value both for giving tips and receiving help. However we have an old niggle about some people posting them in a new thread every 30 minutes. I find that more 'look at me' than 'look what I'm doing'

# Where are you taking this?
If its possible to describe? Because this looks like the acness allready!

# My plan is for
total photo realism in the manner of this lady www.faysartstudio.com/ and I am following her video tutorials on painter. The tutorials are excellent but it's not like a photoshop tutorial were you do this, do that to make the same as something else. It's just detailed descriptions of technique and I'm far from mastering some of them.

# man you just know that once you've mastered that someone just like one of us is going to accuse you of filtering or something :)
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Fri 23 May 2008, 2:51, archived)
# I don't care or mind.
because I know filters inside out and I know there is nothing will do that for you.
Besides considering that she charges a minimum of $8000 for a small portrait you think I'll care what b3ta thinks if I feel I get skilled enough to take commissions?

# pffft... $8000? wow...
i should start me some learning :)

# 30"X40" full length pose
is $30k. She is considered one of the most accomplished digital artists in the world and is one of Corel's 'masters'. She can of course do it just the same with paint and canvas.

# i think once you reach that stage of ability medium can't be that important
i'm sure someone like that could do a portrait with sand and pritt-stick :) there's something not quite right with her eyes though, there's something missing

# ah well.
other painter artists are available.
www.artofconway.com/index.php?page=gallery
www.androidjones.com/
blackeri.deviantart.com/

and it's images like this that make me persevere.

On that note it is bedtime.
nn.

those are pretty

# ah i see
hopefully yours will be less creepy than hers!

I dunno bout that whole thing, Photorealistic is imprssive, but i still like a bit of human interpritation, you know, either the personality of the subjkect coming though..or that of the artist, or that of the situation between the two?

Im shite at art, but its what i like to see..

what are your thoughts on that?

# I'm ok with it up to a point
I just feel it's one of many styles and they all have a place.
I personally love abstract and wild colours ( even for portraits ) but it's just another skill I'm trying to learn. I figure that if you are at a point where you can paint something that people have to look at a few times to realise it's not a photo then everything else should come so much easier.
