Capt. Fred, spyroteknik, gecko, Chruser, thanks for the complements. Wish some of my clients felt the same way.
Self portraits turn out better when you put some emotion into them.
Hey Spooge, what sizes/res do you work at? What are the "magic" brushes?

Sheff: Wow so dynamic. Great brush strokes.
SO I was watching the presidential debate and did these sketches. I'm pretty sure now the reasons the contrast is to high in my images is because of my sony trinitron monitor. I researched it and found out that monitor has some bright feature that makes all the whites not so white and the blacks are meduim grays. I guess I shouldnt of picked that monitor out of the trash, 21 inch... it looked so nice. haha well I gotta save up for a nice one so my art looks the way I intend it to look.
ok on to helpful tips. I've been studying value a lot today. I have found that its amazingly easy to paint light if you break it down into ten values at first. I'm sure you know this anyways. ( in gray scale mode ) Photoshop makes this very easy because the value slider goes from 0 - 100 . All you got to do is pick 0 for the lightest, 10 for the second lightest, 80 percent for a dark gray, ect. I started off by painting the convas a midtone value and working from there. A white or black convas can trick you into thinking a value is right when it's not. OK later everyone.
No refs.

retro: that's nice, I think I remember you posting on the SP thread at concept art bout 2 year ago?
spooge: wow!  looks deceptively simple..
Chris-Mayernik: I gotta do a ton of those as well, thanks for the tips. Problem for me is when I fill in a middle gray in Photoshop I cant see the cursor at all unless I set it to 'standard' mode, where it looks like a little brush icon instead of the actual brush shape/size. Photoshop seems to 'invert' the color of the background to display the cursor so if its middle gray its invisible :/

@Mitsui: Don't use custom made brushe's. The leaves look like they dont belong in your picture, everything around it is in minimul detail then BAM the leaves are like perfect.  |

Thanks Chris. I try not to think too much about my brushstrokes, and just make them. Kind of like shooting a foul shot from the free throw line.
This was a quick study to show my students what a master copy assignment (their homework) should look like. After Sargent. I'm off in sky values and saturation in the distance, but the point of the assignment was to not worry about detail and go simply for shapes and value. This was one of my first artrage pieces.

sparth, really nice work
Capt.Fred, many thanks there, it's good to be back and chat with you guys here. 
retro, yea hehe I love the skagen painters and I know that painting u did there, good work there and thanks for dedicate that one for me.
I saw a program about Skagen and why they choosed to be there, apparently the light from a desert nearby makes it kind of magical to paint there and the colors and light gets interesting. I really wanna visit that place too.
ok I hope I didn't forget anyone, thanks again for the warm welcom guys and it's really nice to push the post reply button again. 
quick warm-up sketch, think I will post one more later.
later and keep up everyone, lots of good work lately. |

old skool...PAINT TO POST.
Thread question:
The darkest dark and the lightest light. What exactly does this mean in terms of how the rest of your colors are placed? Example: If a painting is so called in the high-key, where would the darkest dark fall in that. Is there a such thing as a high key dark? Or...if a painting is low key...where is the brightest bright in that?
I'm just trynna understand.  |

reakshun: I guess the darkest dark and the brightest bright will never change. Kind of like in levels with that histogram. When you paint in a different key the darkest dark on the dark end and brightest bright on the bright end are stationary and your effectively moving the middle slider to shift the mid-tones. I have no idea, in truth, but I'm guessing painting in different keys is equivalent to shifting the mid-tones slider to bright end or to dark end.
I was watching changing lanes and noticed how samuel l jackson's profile, all the extremeties are pretty much in a vertical line. no reference on this though. his head reminds me of yoda.
