Painted on the iPad with Sketchbook Pro app. Sun, 10 Feb 2013 15:49:20 -0500 Badass http://shadowness.com/Leova/badass <a href="http://shadowness.com/Leova/badass"><img src="http://shadowness.com/file/item9/309183/image_t6.jpg" /></a><br />Done for my Digital Painting Illustration class. The goal was to create a self-portrait using Corel Painter 12. I decided to turn myself into a motorcycle gang/mafia/badass version of myself, which is so unlike me. Had a lot of fun with this one! Corel Painter 12 & some minor adjustments in Photoshop CS6.

I love drawing detailed hair -- especially braiding -- so this was a fun piece for me. Birds, too, are also a muse of mine. Done in mechanical pencil.

But then I felt less annoyed so I put more effort into this. ;D It's not a concept painting or anything, didn't paint it with the intention of creating an environment so I guess it'll just stick as a digital painting. I love red skies and I guess what made this so fun is that it's elements I'm already familiar with: simple sitting positions, trees, skies... Having everything kind of easy made this fun and I guess this would be the equivalent of a sketch. Photoshop Cs3, Wacom Tablet, 3 hrs. Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:38:01 -0400
