ok, I was going to post this in the speed painting thread but then thought starting a thread of my own.
the first one was about 1,5 hours in two sessions, the first one with reference.
I'd post the reference pic but it was lost since I peered at it on an internet explorer window. (would someone be kind and post it, I think it was somewhere in the speed painting thread)
anyway, an hour and a half on the first one and about 20 mins on the second.
...thinking of finishing it sometime...




harsh, good crits and comments needed!!!

The first one is well done however the ear looks unfinish, and I would like to see the referance pic to say whether its an accurate rendering or not.
The second one though, she has thunder thighs, and her calfs are too big . The picture also looks incomplete when compared to your other painting.

Hee hee, but I *love* the legs on the second one. They're totally fun, especially with the slim little feet. Very cool.

Good to see some one painting girls with a more nature figure, although #2's legs could stand to have a little more shape, might be a result of the boots thoug.

Keep up the good work.

Your work has nice volume. You don't seem abject to letting your brush stroke appear to be a stroke, either. Ever used Painter?

thanks for the comments so far
lomi: it shouldn't even look finished 100% of the area since we're talking about quickies here. and I have to add that the first one differs quite an amount from the reference pic 'cause I lost the reference amidst the work. as for the second one, it's just a 20 minute sketch....so I guess you stated the obvious
Kaete: thx I like the legs the way they are (though perhaps a little too exaggerated girth ) heehee.
Pat: no, never really used painter, why did you ask? I think seeing brush strokes is good...but umm..that's only my personal preference. although these pics differ from my usual style a bit, usually I don't use reference pics etc.
