Thanks HighFive.

It took about 15 hours to work on (over about a month i think), but a lot of that was going over areas i'd kind of already done, plus it took awhile to get back into the swing of thi ...

kind of reminds me of a quote that went a little like this
" if it LOOKS like someone's acting then they're not doing it right"

I like your stuff Fleabrain, i always have i think that they tend to sh ...

LOL!!! the guy spammed me as well. I had a good laugh about it and looked at his site and then had a bigger laugh. Then forgot completely about it. Funny thing is i've uploaded didley squat that would ...

Its been a while since i put progress on this so i thought i'd begin a new thread... old thread is here.[url=http://www.sijun.com/cgi-bin/ulti ...

I think the train pic shows the best technique overall. The others are hard to distinguish and seem to lack the realism that that one has. I assume thats because you used a reference for that one. The ...

I think the eyes and cheeks might be set too far back into the head making the brindge of the nose too deep. Also the lips look a littel odd. i think its has to do with your join on the bottom lip in ...

Similar to the self portrait post I thought it would be fun to post a quickie pic of whats on your desk.... Mines a latex hand puppet type thing of Yoda that i've had since i was about 5 years old or ...

Well after work last night i stayed back and gave a proper quick portrait a go. Man i need the practice. The main prob i had was getting a rough sketch of me down. It's damn hard to sketch from one im ...

i'm not exactly sure how a lot of other people do it. I've heard talk of people using some white space on their digital canvas to mix the colours whereas i kind of mix them actually in the painting.

Thanks All for your nice words of encouragement. I'm rebuilding my home machine this weekend to try and eradicate some serious performance issues. So hopefully after that i'll post some more progress. ...

I so love the colours and lighting in this piece, excellent stuff.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not but but i was thinking that adding some impression off movement from the left flipper mig ...

I think some colour variation across the table and paper coming from where your light source is would really lift this picture. Also a shadow for the pencil on both the table and the page. The cigaret ...

I like the stance....it shows a lot of weight on his right leg...I dont necessarily think he looks like he's getting pushed back, I think it looks like the guy has a relaxed confident attitude... some ...

I can stop anytime I want....honest....just as soon as i finish my 3 WIP's....and look at the finished works gallery.....and...and.. oh bugger it.

Hello my Name is Dave and i'm a Sijun-aholic.

I like it... Pretty good for a 30 minute exercise. Hard to tell how close it is without seeing what you saw in the mirror but hey...you get that.

It looks a tiny bit flat around the cheeks and chin a ...
