Brando WIP 2by ~Stu-mo

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

This is the second installment. I'm having a problem with getting a decent photo without shine but with clarity.... my scanner doesn't work either.

Really nice, love the detail.
You've captured his essence in a great way.
Love to see this finished!

yeah, good ref photos are everything!

Thanks Cynthia, It's taking the photo of the WIP that's causing problems. The ref pic is fine because I have it on my monitor...but i couldn't agree more. Your work is pure class by the way. I will be posting the finished article asap, but i think there will be at least one more Wip.....I'm a bit slow.

*Cynthia-Blair Nov 8, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

I don't think you're slow, there's a huge amount of small detail you're doing. As a tattoo artist, you're very precise in your detailing. It's part of the training, as you can't erase mistakes!
I look forward to seeing it finished! Brando had an amazing force of character, which I see it in your WIP.

I scan my work whenever I can, though my scanner has issues too. When a piece is too large, I photo it outside in ambient light, with a tripod. The final always goes into Photoshop to correct for contrast, to bring it as close to the drawing as I can (visually).

And thanks for the compliment

I tend to be loose and sloppy in places, even if I do much of that on purpose. I choose charcoal because it prevents me from getting too tight...if you gave me a mechanical pencil I might sit there and render every tiny thing like a photo, forgetting to edit out and simplify. I don't want anyone to forget it's a drawing, or painting, when I'm finished.

Thanks for that Cynthia. I took the photo of WIP3 just inside the patio doors in mid afternoon and it has come out much clearer....the paper even looks white.

I commented...looks great!
