Painting Warm Up - Blink

30 minute warm up, playing with skin, skin tones, flesh, etc. Usually don't post stuff like this, but think it turned out aight.

Thanks mate, yeah warm ups are quick usually the brush strokes are defined and fairly visible, don't have much time to really blend or detail too much. As I mentioned usually I don't post this kind of stuff, but I liked how fleshy this one turned out.

Your detail on the skin and eyes is always amazing, they look almost real. Fancy =D

Thanks mate, been trying to distance myself from realism for a bit, but I always end up right back there. :)
I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to in the future, I want to expand, lol.

Blah. Well realism takes special talent. If you want this new stuff that looks like a finger painting painted by toes, people can do that without any special talent. I can even do that =D

Lol, nah, I just enjoy seeing the brush strokes in paintings, would still have a sense of realism just would feel more painterly; I may have been mistaken in that regard in my last post, I don't want to abandon it altogether.

I've also been attempting to paint more in a Pixar style, but I haven't been able to really get anywhere with it yet. I'm about half way through one of my paintings in which I've been looking forward to posting for forever, but it has been taking me longer than forever to finish it seems. :]

Thanks again mate.

Ahh okies. I thought you meant you wanted to do more like modern art style stuff which is ick!

I think I saw your first character for the pixar thing, which was woody, and at first I thought you had just rendered him out of a picture from the movie. So I'd say you've gotten somewhere with it =)

That was my cousin, Kodey, honest mistake, we do have somewhat similar styles when it comes to painting, but I do agree that his Woody painting is amazing.
The painting I'm working on is sort of in the Pixar style, but is inspired by Studio Ghibli films, should have it done in a few weeks.

Also, I agree about modern, contemporary art, I think it is ick-ish as well. :]
