I'll have another thread for finished concept art and illustration, but since I also love portraiture and figure drawing, I'm creating this area as well.
I hope this folio section will help others better judge where I'm coming from artistically, and how to weigh my critiques and comments.
I work in a variety of media and styles, from painterly realism to graphic illustration or comic style.
I thought I'd start with some portraits, the reddish one is in a medium called Sanguine, which is actually more about the color technique than the medium. You work with a specific colored pastel pencil on a specific colored paper, with white for the highlights. The second piece (Capri) is in charcoal.
If you like the portraits, I have a few of my other personal and academic works at http://www.beware-of-artist.deviantart.com
I want to use the CA portal for Concept Art and new works, generally, so I won't be posting many older pieces in here. I have works posted at other sites already for personal work and fine art, but as I said, I wanted artists here to know where I'm coming from while I build my network of contacts and friends in here.
