ArtRage Fun 21

Back with another update. This time is the lovely harley quinn.  I don't know why but I have been chomping at the bit to draw here for some reason. It maybe because i saw the lovely Arie Monroe of DrawLikeCrazy.net knock out like 5 in week and wanted to try my hand at it.  This was just my first attempt at this character I plan on doing a real version of her shortly.

This peice is also special because it marks the my first completed sketch peice with ArtRage 3.  Actually, its ArtRage Studio Pro that  I got a chance to demo and must say I am so going in on this program.  It is by far leaps and bounds above it predecessor, it is not even funny. As soon as i open it up and saw all of the new brushes and settings I almost lost it.  I found myself wrapped up in the water color brush and  some of the other tools as well.  There is so much to explore and do with this program that I still have not had the chance to go through and try everything.   I have been having endless amount of fun exploring what I can do with this program.

I am a bit amazed at the cost.  At 80 bucks this program is on par or at the same level with some of the other natural media programs out there today.   

Now I just have to get my hands on a Cintiq and I will be in artist heaven. But that is on far off, dream. 

With the said let me say that there is so much more to come,  especially with the new artrage.  I may start having to post more the just raw sketches. maybe,

ArtRage Fun 17 The Batman

I know I haven't posted much. I have been working one some web design stuff as well my own web/ graphic design projects. On top of that I been doing some on-site freelancing. It really does feel great to work inside of an office/ part of team again. Even if it was just for a short time. I love the feeling of being around artist/ designers. There is an un-explainable energy that comes off that fuels me for some strange reason to push myself. My focus becomes unmatched and I start to work extra-hard. I love it.

But, None less I have something I have to get off of my chest. I can not draw Batman. Not draw him in the general sense. But, I can not draw him to my liking. The greats say you have to draw a character until you own him. Meaning you can draw that character like no one else. The version you have drawn is not like anyone's. That character is yours and you are so comfortable, that you can draw him/her/it in pose any shot, any action.

I simply have not got there yet. I have drawn him several times and he still feels so hard to draw and grasp it bothers me. But None the less I will press on until I own this get this character down.

This batman is about as close to that feeling that I have got so far.




More on the way,

Batman is property of DC Comics
Art is mine.

ArtRage Fun

So I broke down and finally bought ArtRage. This program is so amazing for something so inexpensive. I am so impressed and can not wait to try out rest of the feature.

I just went ahead knocked this out for fun. just to see what I can do with the program.






could you imagine if I have a cintiq. It would be so on if that happens.

I could probably go paperless. at least for a days.

PS I think I am going to be doing a whole lot more of this.
