Digital Portrait study.



















My first digital portrait painted in Artrage.
Kept it simple with two layers (drawing & paint) & some modified brushes to emulate dry brushing.

RGI Winter Exhibition.



















Hey folks,

If you're visiting Glasgow during the next few months, there's a very snazzy wee exhibition of Scottish paintings on show at the RGI Kelly gallery to check out. My little pommy moon pic's there alongside loads of very cool Scottish artists works. Seriously, just pop in (Tue - Sat) and have a wee look, guarantee you'll leave with a big smile on your face.

28th of November - 31st January 2016

comp test.



















Hey folks, so I've been trying to widen my "toolbox" recently and taking a few tentative steps towards digital sketching & painting. I'm not really a techy person & have always found programs like Photoshop pretty cumbersome to paint and draw with. I've been toying around with Artrage & it's surprisingly simple to sketch & build up paint fast without dipping into layer and shader  shenanigans too much.

Very, very quick test doodle with the base brush presets. Not quite the way my acrylic paintings look, but I kind of like the vibrancy from digital. I'm going to create some custom brush mods to add more water to the brush ( I tend to paint with acrylic similar to watercolour in real life) see how that goes...
