Yeah,
I'm definitely not saying there's anything wrong with working for free or low pay. I've done it myself. As long as you are clear that it's not likely to lead to well paid work.

Sorry, double post.. Embarassed

All good advice so far, especially Gort's advice about thinking of youself as a business. I would add that you should really work to make as many contacts as possible, in the industry you would like t ...

No this was actually for a Washington vs California Thunderdome a few months ago. It was really rough when I posted it for the competition because I was pressed for time. I think it looks a lot better ...

Here's a piece I did for a Thunderdome competition. I just recently cleaned it up"

Here's my first attempt with Painter. It's nearly all Painter except a little airbrushing done in PS (I prefer the Photoshop airbrush tool):

I just recently started playing with Painter. Here's my second attempt (a lot of the skin texture was done in good old PS):

Man, you did so much with that ref. The perspective is just beautiful, and the background rocks (no pun). The cool shady colors and peaceful "zen" feeling is so perfect for the subject matter. 12 on a ...

Please tell me you did this from a piece of photo ref or I'm walking out of my studio and blowing my brains out right now! Even with some killer reference, this is amazing but if you did it from your ...

Thanks for the comments.

Antx: This is a pencil drawing. Next I color the pencil work in Photoshop (brush set to color), then I paint on layers above and below the pencil.

I'm back with another piece:

I've gone and fixed the feet and the background. Thanks everyone for all the great input and encouragement. Very Happy

Yeah,
good call on the background. I've gotten a few similar comments at other forums where I posted this. I knocked back the contrast in the background with a "levels mask" layer in Photoshop ...

Haven't posted here in eons.

I'd try Bob's suggestion of streamline. Only other thing I can think of is make sure you're using a good smooth paper and a good pen. Cheap paper tends to bleed the ink, which can make the lines appea ...

I just imported your artwork into Photoshop and did an adjustment on it. I had no trouble getting the lines to go to a nice solid black and the gray fuzz around the lines to drop out. Are you adjustin ...

Easiest way is to duplicate the layer (Right click on the background layer in the layer palette and select duplicate). Then select "multiply" for that new layer (pull down menu in upper left of layer ...

Are you talking about for coloring over (or under), or are you talking about just plain clean black line art?

Bob,
if you haven't got them yet, send me your email address and I'll send them to you.

Niiiice! The feeling of light is very "Spoogie".

Nice. If you look at the shadows on the floor (beneath her), she should be lit in alternating bands of shadow and light. No? Otherwise I like the feeling.

One I've always found extremely helpful is "Perspective Drawing Handbook" by Joseph D'Amelio. It covers all the basics clearly and concisely, and makes them pretty easy to understand. Can't seem to li ...

Boy snakebyte, you nailed it! especially steps 7 thru 10. You've been around these forums a while I guess. Hilarious. Laughing

Ditto on Faber Birren and Quiller, Two more you may find helpful:
"The Elements of Color" by Johannes Itten (edited by Faber Birren) and
"Interaction of Color" by Josef Albers

Do they even still make that stuff? I thought that went out with the Apple II

I like it. Very bizarre and disturbing image. I like most of the drawing except the arm holding the cleaver is kinda wonky.

There's no magnetic sources near my monitor, and yeah Bob I tried popping the card out and blowing it off- no change. I'm pretty sure it's the card though. I ran a diagnostic tool that Norton makes an ...

Anyone here ever encounter this?: Last week I turn on my system and I have these wierd horizontal ghost lines extending from every image on my screen (the higher the contrast the darker the ghost). ...

yeah,
most spray fixatives are acrylic based now, and acrylics and oils usually don't play well together.

Any spray on acrylic fixative should work. (Crystal Clear, Krylon even a workable fixatif should work fine) I've never had any problems using sprayed on fixatives like this to fix a drawing and paint ...
