Digital Painting

There are different people out there from who I get my inspiration. One of the persons I adore is called Loish. I know Loish' art from Deviantart. http://loish.deviantart.com. I love her artwork because it is raw in some way, but still it blends with all the colors. The anatomy in her artwork is so nice and I also like her portraits very much.
When I see her work I just want to draw as much as I can, so hopefully I can be as good as she is one day.
That's why I looked at a new portrait of her and I thought, I want to try that aswell! I want to try digital painting like that. So I did.
It's not yet finished, but I'm so glad already with this outcome. Definitely because it's my first time trying. So that's why I'm showing work in progress, because I just want to show someone!
I do hope I will be entirely glad one day, because I keep adjusting. But untill now it's only getting better by adjusting, so, we'll see..
(the portrait is me when I was little, I had the photo next to me when I was drawing)

Drawing studies

This year in drawing studies we can decide for ourselves what we want to do. You can choose for yourself what you want to practice.
So that's kind of fun. We do need a goal. At this moment I have to say that I don't really have a very clear goal, but I want to get better and I want to develop my own style. In these studies I'd like to concentrate on which material I like to use best, and I want to do better at anatomy and the lightning.
I think that's pretty much it for now.
I wanted to show my results untill now. I'm especially happy with the drawings I made today.

First few lessons :














Best one of past week :



Today :





I'm so happy with this one!!! I'm kind of proud the colors turned out so well and the anatomy is very accurate :)



I did spend more time on this one, but I don't think this one is as good as the one above..

Just wanted to show you, hope you liked it.
