digital painting practice 9

Last night I went to a concert with a friend, we went to see TTNG (This Town Needs Guns) and two other bands.

What inspired me to do this digital painting was the lighting, I really liked the set up of the lighting at the venue, so i took some reference pictures so i can re-create it with the painterly look.

Hope the lighting is working here, was originally going to try and paint animals instead of the band members, but I wanted to keep it close to original as possible so I can practice the lights.

Time: ~1 hour
Photoshop CS6

Gah i really like the color of green, but i feel like this is the hardest color to control...i can almost never get the shading or the color right, to me it looks really washed out.. not really sure.. more practice is in neeeeed!!!!!

But this image was pretty much the last request from my previous 365 drawing. This can be the finish. Geko doing a drum solo, but the image i had in mind was a geko playing the bongo jamaican style lol....

those eyes behind the shades came out nicely and it was made by accident too.. XD i was trying to make light shades on them but then it looked like eyes behind them so i kept it that way..

I kinda wish i could of of done the bongo's a little better like...more vibrant shade of brown.

Hmm this time i tried adding some background to it, but it still looks pretty flat... getting these paintings to look like their in a spacious environment is pretty hard...

thought of this on the bus after school, i always thought the idea of having a long scarf would be pretty cute if you can share it with someone you care.

Panda's are cute.

I do like how this one turned out, although the shadow might be off...but it was only a 30 min practice. I think little by little I am getting a hang of this painterly style.

Hoping that this will continue and that I can create some things to add for my portfolio.

Gonna try and do one painting a day, almost continuing my daily drawing.
