Witch, Old Hag Update!!



This is an update to the original painting wanted to give her a better background.
It's a Digi painting done in my Photoshop Elements program. Just used a Mouse and no layering.....basically cause I have never gotten to reading how to do layers as yet.....LOL
My first digi painting with a figure. If you scroll down a couple of posts, You'll find more info on my endeavors... This painting was done from a photo of some dolls in a store window.
 I like this background much better, She looks more like a painting done with acrylic or oils now.......:) 

Witchy Witch.....A Sweet for You, My Dear.....

Was doing a WDE....Weekend Drawing/Painting Event at WetCanvas http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1312766  last night and this is what I came up with.  I did a 9x12 sketch of the reference(of some hand made dolls, one was an old craggy witch)  first, and then scanned it onto my computer and ended up doing a digi painting with my sketch, using my mouse with my Photoshop Elements programe.
My first, not very savvy with image programs, so was pleased with the outcome of this....thought I'd post it and show everyone.  Goes to show that anything is possible, even with primative tools....LOL The Link above is to my thread on this image at WetCanvas. Hope you enjoy

Here's my Witchy Witch..........

NUDE BODY SHAPES LINES CONTRASTS Pt5

Well, I'm pleased, did some more work last night, so I'm adding these to my Body Shapes Lines Series. More work with vine charcoal and conte, playing with light. Will give them a couple days to digest then do some touch ups where needed. They show well in real life, not as dark as here. Would look good framed in Black. about ll x9 and 9 x 9.

Thanks for looking. Comments and Crits welcome.............you learn something new everyday.

Sketchbook Drawing #4-Young Woman

Another hot off the press. Quick study, I seem to be on a roll here, just want to do faces it seems.
All these are just impulsive. No pre thought to draw them. I just get an impulse when I see a image, or something, and grab a pen or pencil and some paper. I tend to like to use a pen, as then it hinders me from being able to erase. Still playing that game with myself. I've done quite a few more since the last posting, but I'm going to post this one from last night as I quite like her look and she was done very quickly and no real hitches. Still very rough drawings, I'm a messy artist. But this one is a lot cleaner than most of them LOL.
This is done with pen on 8.5 X 11 paper........

Have some paintings on the way.......you must be getting bored with these sketches by now!!!
Stay tuned......

NUDE BODY SHAPES LINES CONTRASTS

My first experiment with the female form. I quite liked the liberty I felt when painting her.....So her title. She's 20 X 16 acrylic on canvas. Now working on some more, larger format, and some drawings in charcoal and conte pencil . Too large for my scanner, will post when I get my new camera.
