An anatomy study. Hopefully I'll have more to post later today.

I made this playing around with the new Painter. It's highly inspired by master Andrew Jones, of course. If imitation is the highest form of flattery then perhaps I flattered Andrew a bit too much...

It's also (pretty much) the first thing I've painted on my new Mac. The screen resolution is unreal!

thats pretty cool dude. keep it up.

you are heading in a great direction. work on economy. its great to see you turning the curve into becoming a great artist.

[OldJake666]

What do you mean by economy exactly? Do you mean saving the highest detail/clarity/contrast for the focal points?

[JakehC]

in a lot of your paintings i can see that at points you are probably fiddling around looking for the mark instead of thinking about the mark you are going to put down. seems like a lot of your work is very brushy, which is great, but if you work this way you just want to make sure to minimize arbitrary decisions.

also in your application of textures, i think you are relying to much on specialty brushes. typically this is of no detriment. But you should try to understand your marks better or else they can detract from what you are trying to do with those marks.

For instance, the man with the beard. I think its cool that you used the scratchy brush, but you totally ignored rules of textural contrast and thus the image fails to read in its true potential.

on a similar note contrast is important like economy. things that are sharp appear so because of their juxtaposition, and vice-versa. the last picture you posted looks great because it strikes a beautiful balance between this fact. and you're right details typically go with the most important components. but i dont think its set in stone. this recent picture also works well because you avoid flat tones by implementing noise. this also you did in your self portrait. this is a great way to be economic with space.

economy with color is important to. but can be more difficult i suppose. the last picture is a success because you payed attention to color temperature more than you have in previous work.

take a look at Jaime Jones' work.

Very nice portraits! That last one is pretty interesting

Another Painter sketch.

[Sarmati]

Awesome paintings, I'll have to try out some different techniques in my stuff.

[OldJake666]

Here's a portrait of my father for Father's Day. It was done with a woodless graphite pencil. I'm sorry about the poor photo quality.

[OldJake666]

And here's some kind of weird photoshop doodle I did testing out my new standing computer/art set up.

[Metal Fingers]

[JakehC]

Dude, im so excited that you are finding your creative voice! its really neat to see that we are all advancing so well! we are the next generation of great artist!

lets keep working xtra hard!

[OldJake666]

Hi,

I was a bit inspired by someone's post with the digital process following someone's oil process, so I decided to try it myself. I did a study of someone's tutorial on flemish oil painting which is the classical technique. I don't normally spend two days on my studies but I definitely felt like I learned quite a bit doing this one. In Painter 12.

[OldJake666]

And here are the 7 (or rather 8) steps for the flemish study. And here are the 7 (or rather 8) steps for the flemish study. The paint layers were all at 80% opacity so that there would be some transparency like oil paint.

A portrait of my Grandpa. The man is 88! Woodless graphite pencil on (smooth) bristol paper.

p.s. one day I'll take a non-sucky picture of a piece of artwork. :/

[OldJake666]

A portrait of a friend.

And a bass cover!



Probably still being processed but should be up soon...

[OldJake666]

Alright, well here's what I've been working on over the past week. It's a poster for an upcoming gig. It could probably use some color but this will be my first time screenprinting so I want to keep things simple.

I saw the Facebook event for this and want to go SOFUCKINGBAD. anyway, your flyer is super sick and you had better be going.

[Choob]

This one here is awesome good sir. I am impressed, and demand more updates.

[OldJake666]

Of course I'm going FTM, I'm selling prints.

Brush and ink portrait of the beautiful Chis Lu.

[skMOP]

Painter stuff is sick!! Especially the Andrew Jones one a few posts up.
Your stuff has improved loads since I last popped in here. Keep it up man

[OldJake666]

And here's the actual screen printed poster of the Yob design.

[OldJake666]

I finished printing all of my YOB • DARK CASTLE • DISPIRIT • WORM OUROBOROS posters. If you would like one but CANNOT attend the show, please send me a message with your address and I'll put one aside for you. They are $15 + shipping. Each is an original screen printed piece of artwork that is signed and numbered by yours truly. They're 23 by 13 inches.

[xinranliu]

man I really really dig the esthetic of the poster above! it's got that old woodcut/etching thing going on, no need of colours imo

[OldJake666]

Here's a business card I designed. It's also to be screen printed.

[ryan mcshane]

MAN you rock
god dammit.

[Beeston]

I've seen you around the forums often enough that I should be watching your sketchbook right about now so I can learn from you

[OldJake666]

This piece is titled 'Omnipresent' and was created as part of the Memento Mori group show at the Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. It's in graphite on bristol and the drawing itself is 8x8 inches. You can see or buy the piece at the gallery starting August 20th through September .
