Hey guys, been looking at the thread for a while now and I never posted anything. . . . well I just wanted to show you some work that Ive learned from many of you.

Spooge -- you always seem to pick the perfect colours and know exactly what to do with them. I try to study your paintings as best I can but im still having a hard time grasping how they ALWAYS turn out so well. Jaw dropping masterpieces!!

Zhuzhu -- now theres a style of painting I rarely see. Makes it more facinating to see something like that brought to the table. btw, thanks for introducing artrage, its something else.

Ceenda -- your paintings always work out to a perfection, i doubt there is ever a pixel side by side thats ever the same Smile

great detail !

Hardcore -- damn I love all the textures you have in your work:) Still trying to duplicate them in mine.......but its not working out too well Sad

Tiger -- im liking your new aproach to the comic style, especially the dick tracy one.

Mathew -- Im even getting things off your quick quick sketches.

Everyone else in this thread -- I regret not taking art class but i have to thank all of you for helping me catch up:)

So anyway, here's one I did today. . . i'd love to hear some of your comments because I cant get any advice from anyone else like you guys Crying or Very sad

Great stuff everyone! This thing moves too fast, can't keep up with the pace! Nice to see such a large variety of subjects and areas being covered by the multitude of talented artists.

Everyone is doing great!

Zhuzhu, I am really impressed by your paintings.

Matthew, you're our Sijun mascot and hero Smile

Henrik > Fast or not, I like it.

Last week I got cement dust into my eyes. Haven't been able to draw properly after that (and propably before that, too). I tried to paint something but, at lenght, it proved to be too agonizing.

Colqhoun, from the movie Ravenous

Spooge: hey, you mustn't take names to yourself. I'd never dream of calling you an I*********r. Smile

Thanks for the kind words. You hit the nail on the head, when you imagined me thrashing away at the canvas. What I lack in method, I compensate with serendipity and blind luck! You might deride the 'effortless art thing', but sometimes I'd like to just sit down and paint, with a proven, solid methodology, and without intelectual convulsions and hesitance disrupting every brushstroke.

Does any of this make sense?

Anyway, here's a WIP from my morbid fascination with the Eastern Front. I'll add the Russian and German combatants later.

Henrik and Popeye: great stuff

Pud -- oh im sorry, I forgot to mention you to. I showed some of your work to people in my area and they were really impressed. I love they way you use that technique in your paintings, it really works!!

ok well, I see we're still artraging so I might as well jump in. . .I know this is a speedpainting thread but maybe just a little more time invested wouldn't hurt Confused

Change in style, same program (ArtRage)

Burn me at the stakes if you must.

Mikko K > Damn, that's almost as obscure as my previous paintings.. you're starting to master the Art of Porridging...

Hi everyone!

I've been lurking on the forum on and off for a couple of weeks and I have to say I'm damn impressed. This has to be one of the most entertaining and stimulating websites on the planet. Kudos to everyone.

So I thought I'd join in and try my hand at speedpainting - see below for my first effort and my first ever portrait (seriously). I used a cool pic I took with my T610 phone and, with a copy of Gary Faigin's Facial Expression book beside me, started off.

I did have a draft finished within about 40 minutes - but since it is my girlfriend I thought I'd better put some more time into it. So the final tweaks took another 2 hours... it's not really finished yet - some proportions are wrong - hair not right.

My trouble is that I am forever fiddling & tweaking with images in an effort to get it right - whereas I really admire the minimalist style I see in this thread. I'll attempt to be a regular poster... when I get back from holiday - promise. I really want to improve.

Actually what's wrong with my sketch is that the other side of her face needs to be shown more, it's only a little bit of shadow missing... but it's not quite right otherwise... ah well - I'll fix it another time.
