Party dude...

So Serious...

CHRISTIAN BALE from The Dark Knight.

Artrage Final

Used the 'squeeze paint' tool in Artrage and then spread it around with the pallate knife to increase color, fix facial details and give real paint look. Then taken back into Photoshop to blend with 30% opacity 30%flow brush at 70% hardness.

Yay ArtRage... An under-rated tool

Artrage Sketch

Must remember to practice sketching as well as painting... (Artrage sketch) - Chalk sketch - then paints in Photoshop... Then back into ArtRage for pencils

vector style

Colored with simple vectors on hardlight layer over top.

shadow/highlight filter...

Copied final image onto new layer as multipy to make very dark and then applied shadow/highlight filter to bring out brushstrokes.... Also applied heavy unsharp mark to bring out strokes further. No Color as I plan on practicing with value more before worrying about adding color.

overlay / multiply colors

This image was painted mainly in Photoshop using a new method I've found of painting base colors on a overlay layer and then adding simple colors on a multiply layer over the top. Then I paint at 70% opacity on a normal layer to establish my blocks of color.
