Still working on likenesses, but I think progress is being made.

Master Studies

Elvgren and Zorn.
The bottom right by Zorn messed me up. Very subtle plane changes!

Master Studies

After Repin and Sargent

Meth

An 'after' portrait of a lady on meth, from here.
My challenge from Polykarbon.
Photoshop, about 3 hours, I think. I lost count.

Laele sketch

Another sketch of my wife's Ragnarok Online character, Laele, the Alchemist.
An hour and some change in Painter.

15 minute sketch, again

Another 15 minute portrait warmup sketch/study, another unknown model. As before, if anyone knows who this is, do let me know.
Also, imagine that! I ended up making her face too wide...

Daryl Hannah 15 minute sketch

15 minute warm up sketch of Daryl Hannah.
It's tough doing a timed sketch, because as soon as 15 minutes were up, I set the stylus down, then had to fight the urge to go back in and fix/polish things. Maybe next time!

A Bedouin Arab - Master Study

A study of John Singer Sargent's "A Bedouin Arab".
Done in Painter 9, about 45 minutes. One layer, with no ctrl+z or eraser, one brush (Oil Brushes - Bristle Brush) on default setting.
I feel kinda bad for trying to study this, actually. I feel like I don't do it enough justice. But at least I'm trying, eh?
