 I dunno...is a filter cheating?
pulpy: good lookin' out ... I'll be going for different looks as many times as I can. Can't get locked on any particular style...it's like a an ex you can't shake.
chiani: yes...more, more. Funny sketch.
Lionel: I'm glad to be here...nice to see you still on the grind. |

We have 143 artist been post here so far. Include great master artist like Spooge Demon ( 2 ),Beat (2),Jachim (2),Malachi Maloney (1), Sparth(1),
RobCamp(1),Mon(1).
Torstein Nordstrand's out standing self potrait been inspired so many of us. I love his strong strok and creative idea.
Hunter's selfself potrait are so wonderful make this thread very atractive. People like to come here to check his face. I can see all the commend how people love his potrait.
my personal esteem all above and the fallowing.
Mr. Brian, Jr, Osto,Toast,Stevethmas they are great. even
they not post much, just few potrait can make statement they are good and so good. so talent.
I like ZhuZhu painting He has wonderful and clean stroke. He show up this thread only few days ago and post eight aleady
The number one post self potrait is Lionel. He say at page 19 he done 65 self potrait wow. But I can find (54) here. Must he been painted a lot and didn't post all.
The number 2 is me ChiaNi. I post (53) junk.
Duracel(30)
ZippZopp( 2 8 )
Hunter (25)
Gecko(19)
Torstein(15)
Fab(15)
Scott Wetterschneicer (14)
ZhuZhu( 8 )
Daniel Lieske (7)
Jezebel( 5)
Mr. Brain( 5)
If I counted wrong. let me know please. I am not good at count. you know how artist are. another brain not funtion right.
that all folk.
I am going to leave here and gone for 2 weeks. All my friend. keep postting please. We can't have as much as speedy painting. At less we are 2nd bigest thread. Please don't let it died. When I come back I am going to keep post till hit 100. Then on and on.

hahahaha ChiaNi that's funny, interesting I dont remember seeing many of those such as Hunter etc.. * going back the thread * ..
reakshun * that is cool, as for the filter I' wouldnt use one if it doesnt add anything, but for a quick paper texture or something of that effect I dont think that's cheating, depend what you use, with Painter I think filters are pretty useless, but in Photoshop to get a quick paper texture or something maybe? otherwise it's nice to be able to see your strokes and such
hohoho have a good holiday everyone

Chiani: When doing all those portraits - do u use a digi-camera and make the picture as a layer in photoshop and paint-over? Or do use a mirror - or a paper-photography to draw from?

Chiani: bye! see you soon! Well, a painting of you at least.
Lionel: you're out? Damn...have fun! No more digital? Must be going for good ol' analog practice. (trust me, don't be surprised if you see a scan of an oil or acrylic from me sometime very soon)
zhuzhu: of course I'll be posting more! I have alot catching up to do with you all. Man, I wish I could load your webpage but, it doesn't want to perform for me. 
Fab: I hear you on the filter...it's funny you mentioned the paper texture, because I used that at first (sandstone/Photoshop 7)...but I never used this one(which I can't remember) so I gave it a try. By the way, I like those trees on your page...very painterly and fantasy like. |

say bye to all. have a happy Christmas receive lot gift.
JesperGB: I been painting and drawing on traditional media for long time. I requird myself don't use eriser don't tracing to train myself be a what I see and what I paint.
all the self potrait here you see were from photo at begin. then I saw every body paint from mirrow. Then I change to mirrow. Because from mirrow more challenge.
No I do not tracing. That not my way to paint. But I use refrence a lot.\
now I paint with computer and mouse. now I use eriser. Because mouse still not easy to control. I promiss not use eriser when I get back.

This has been a very inspiring thread - unbelievable work in here.
So, I figured I'd throw in mine as well. Pencil - about an hour's work. I'm a bit out of practice as yo ucan tell...
c&c welcome... |

Zipp: what size is your brush and at what opasity do you set it on?
Try using brushes with loaded oils/small fine washes. Low opasity layers for translucent shadows. Increase opasity as light intensifies. Try not to use the palette knife!
Gotta project I'm working on...I'll try to post an example soon. |
