225 -Miles -(Revolution Series1)

Another digital painting using Painter 2015 demo and probably my last as I've only got a couple of days left on it and I'm back to work tomorrow after a lovely week off :(
So am I tempted to upgrade? Absolutely. To be fair, I only brushed the surface (pardon the pun) and rarely ventured out of the Charcoal brushes doing these two paintings but it just feels like you're drawing traditionally. Still the upgrade price at £159 is nothing to be sniffed at and I'm planning on doing some more paintings using software that I already own to see if I really do NEED it as opposed to just wanting it cos it's the latest version.

224- Norah Clayton (Revolution series 1)

Currently trying out a demo version of Corel Painter 2015 as I'm just not prepared to pay Adobe prices for an upgrade to CS6 or pay a ridiculously priced monthly subscription  - bally pirates!

The good news about this update is that you can now get the upgrade price if you have any version from 7 upwards, well done Corel! 

217-223 Rules of Engagement

I love the characters in this show, very funny. Initially drawn separately as an exercise to capture a likeness, I then arranged them into this group picture.

213-216 Random sketches

It's good to be drawing again.

210-212 Doc Martin W.I.P

I must admit after starting to watch the new Doc Martin series I've become a bit of a fan, in fact I've been so inspired by the great characters in the show that I've decided to do my own bit of fan art. The idea is to do some studies of the characters and produce a finished piece using the best of the sketches.

209 - Daniel Lieske Tutorial

Well the family photo project has turned into a full blown ancestor search now and as a result I've not spent a great deal of time on drawing or painting over the last month. This sketch in Photoshop was done following a tutorial by Daniel Lieske on Lynda.com.
