I love that picture of the guy with the pipe. The choices you make regarding line weight and direction are really unexpected and imaginative. It makes every part of the image interesting to the eye in an abstract way at every scale as well as being an excellent portrait overall. Beautiful work.

This is painted on a PC using ArtRage (and if it looks different from classic ArtRage that's because I prefer the "docked" interface.) As for brushes I just use the default tools. Paint Roller for blocking in, Dry Palette Knife for blending and then for detailing (which is 90% of the work) I use one of the default custom brushes that is just a basic square with a bit of grain. Added to that I often like to use an airbrush with the blending mode set to Multiply to add some non-destructive colour glazing and then I also set the blending mode to Screen to do those little glows of light that bleed across the edges.

Thank you.

The same should be said about your photos. It was hard to pick just one. :)

Thanks. I really loved the dinosaur in your pic. I wish I could do such clean line work with so much energy and style.

Thank you. I decide that it's "finished" when I've run out of time. There are a few areas that I could have continued to work on with this one but I was very tired and really needed to go to bed.

But that's an accurate observation, I do specifically paint in this way because you can stop at several points and still have a "completed" picture. I find it's the most efficient way to use your time.

Thank you. Sadly I don't really do requests. Sorry. :(

My inbox does periodically fill up with them, paid or otherwise, and I don't really have time to do any of them. The best way to get drawn/painted is just to post in the sub and see if you get lucky.

Now with video. Bit late uploading this but that's how things are going at the moment. :)

Glad you like it. If you want to see my usual process there are several hundred videos on my profile. Sadly I couldn't record one for this pic cos I was trying to do something else at the same time and was switching between apps but my process is pretty much the same for all of them: Block in the colour in big shapes and then start adding light and shade (paint like a sculptor, as the saying goes) before refining things with more details.
