faceeess

**Revidescent** · October 8th, 2011, 03:46 PM

I really love some of the stuff you're doing with colour, though you could probably try to vary your saturation more. That latest face is gorgeous... only thing I can point out is that his ear looks a bit small.

@Revidescent
Do you mean shadow/light contrast, by saying i should vary my saturation? Or just in general?

Here is an environment study.

Hands and feet aswell

be that mouse! I know you can

@samthemule
Nope, never really finished anything. I've also decided I have to draw at least 3 hours a day, every day, so I'm gonna be that churnin' mouse.

Hup hup, sargent study

but due to october magic it turned into a VAMPIRE

**Patonki** · October 13th, 2011, 01:32 PM

i really like the sargent studies too... something i've been thinking about lately: whilst copying or drawing from life, learn to emphasise things which may or may not be there, to make the picture more comprehensible and or work better

**Patonki** · October 19th, 2011, 08:20 AM

a thing

a different thing

and something else

**Patonki** · October 20th, 2011, 03:32 PM

Something a bit more refined

**Patonki** · October 22nd, 2011, 05:43 PM

working on this bear thing, here is an underpainting + linework

And 2 shitty environments

**wasabi89** · October 22nd, 2011, 10:08 PM

Liked a lot the colors you choose.
also nice value control
keep it up

**Sycra** · October 22nd, 2011, 10:09 PM

Sargent studies are looking good. Keep going!

**Patonki** · October 23rd, 2011, 09:14 AM

@wasabi
Thanks, but I don't really feel confident with my values :/
@Sycra
Thanks! I should do a new masterstudy soon.

Finished the bear.

**skMOP** · October 23rd, 2011, 01:16 PM

Duude. Your colors are really nice. Something I can suggest is really working on the drawing first and making sure that the structure is there before you start painting. Keep it up!

**Patonki** · October 25th, 2011, 02:43 PM

buggg

**Joseph_Silverman** · October 25th, 2011, 02:49 PM

Big improvement just on this last page!

Do you have any advice or thoughts you could share on picking and using colors?this piece especially is really impressive in that regard.

**Patonki** · October 25th, 2011, 03:02 PM

@Suprore
Well, it's a lot about experimentation with me. Just throwing colors around, loosely following color theory, and seeing what sticks. Doing a lot of oversaturating the shit out of the piece, and softly blending neat looking areas to the original painting.

Sorry, it's a bit difficult for me to make it into words, as I never really think about it!

**Joseph_Silverman** · October 25th, 2011, 03:16 PM

Cool man, still helpful!

**Patonki** · October 27th, 2011, 01:34 PM

Feeling tired and ill lately, but here is a very quick sargent study, which I kinda gave up on :C

**Pamz1e** · October 27th, 2011, 02:06 PM

I love the ram human thats grumpy over his cheese. And the bear. And everything else =) You Have a firm grasp on colours!! You seem to enjoy painting with digital mediums like you would with oil, right? I like how in the bear you use photoshop textures that are hard or impossible to get with oil. Good work

**Patonki** · October 29th, 2011, 07:50 AM

speaking of rams here is one

**Goldenstripe** · October 29th, 2011, 08:04 AM

want to see more of yarr color studies!!

**tronrobot** · October 29th, 2011, 08:34 AM

Your colors are exceptional. And i dig your imagination

**Patonki** · November 2nd, 2011, 03:18 PM

Thanks, you both!

Here is a lil' face study

This got a bit cartoony.

**Patonki** · November 3rd, 2011, 02:13 PM

**Patonki** · November 5th, 2011, 11:03 AM

**Patonki** · November 6th, 2011, 04:17 PM

**Patonki** · November 10th, 2011, 10:19 AM

**Patonki** · November 12th, 2011, 03:22 PM

Skyrim decided to take all my time. But here is something I started.

I'm not feeling it. Can you tell me what's wrong?
