Glee fan art: Emma

mking — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 07:25:21 +0000

Emma from Glee, my current favorite show on TV.
Done freehand, but with reference and measuring lines added in Photoshop to help achieve the right proportions.

This was an exercise in how to capture a likeness. I think I must have scrapped about 6 prior attempts. Once I got the likeness close, the painting went pretty quickly.

The colors are still a little wacky. But I think it’s time to move on to the next piece.

Photoshop CS4. 12 hours.

Firefly fan art: Kaylee

Some fan art of Kaylee from Serenity. Photoshop CS4.
I lost count of the hours trying to get the likeness right. Maybe 8? Finally had to give up. It’s just not quite there. I wish I were a better artist so I could see how to fix it more easily.

Finished it off with a quick hack coloring job of only an hour or so.

I was a bit rusty after not painting for at least a month it feels like. It was hard to get back into the groove.

kim possible fan art

Another photoshop painting of Kim Possible. There are some issues with the proportions of her arms, but overall I think it came out ok. This one took about 6 hours over the course of a week. This exercise was inspired by recently reading Joe Chiodo’s book: “How to Draw and Paint Pin-ups”.
