Mexiruba: Part 2

December 17, 2010

In part one I wrote about my trip to Mexico. In the second week I went to visit a friend in Aruba. It’s a little island close to Cuba – with great beaches, nice people, and a cactee-rich landscape. The landscape is actually eerily similar to some areas in Red Dead Redemption. When you get … Continue reading Mexiruba: Part 2 →

Ji-Hae 2: Work in Progress Step two

December 12, 2010

Before I’m off again for the third session, here’s a quick update on the painting I showed off last week. Probably won’t finish it today – fixes on the face are left, the eyes of course, hands, dress, flower-bucket… too much, so I’m planning to make one session without model next week.

Herma and Some Princess Feedback

December 2, 2010

I’ve got great reactions to the princess from the last post. You can see it in the comments section, and even more of them in the conceptart.org forums. They prove that the early planning for a picture plays such a big role. At first it was thought as a mere concept piece for the dress, … Continue reading Herma and Some Princess Feedback →

Ship Your Art!

November 29, 2010

How many artworks did you not "ship" because it was just not perfect? I hear this often. Many artists never finish bigger works, because there is always mistakes and room for tweaking. Of course there are differences.....
