Faces and Figures

[Dael Wolf]

My goal is to make stylized pictures of clothed people, like fashion illustrations or costume illustrations for the theater, but my eventual goal is for fine art.

Hive minD: Thanks for the look. I will try to post all my pictures here.

These are all Photoshop images of imaginary people. I am not trying for realism right now, but for stylized people like in the first batch, only better. Also, I need to do a lot more basic studies like spheres and blocks, Bridgman figures, etc.

The class assignment was to paint greyscale from a photo (left) and then in color (middle). There wasn't enough contrast, so I boosted it in Photoshop (right)

Another assignment was to paint eyes from a photo (left). Again, I played around with it in Photoshop (right).

Finally, some hands in pencil, colored in Photoshop.

BTW, any comments or crits would be welcome and greatly appreciated.

did you use reference?

[Dael Wolf]

Clodioz: They were from reference, meaning that I looked at several photos but didn't try for likeness.
