Master at Arms
OK well I still have a little more to tell on this one , so excuse me just one more time.
I began with an oil painting and finished with a Digital Wacom Cintique.
I have been a manual art guy my whole life outside of my CAD Engineering exposure at work, so when I decided to go down this road about a month ago I jumped in the 'deep end' and started learning the digital art through the tablet.
I must say that I am blown away.
However it will not replace the brush and oils, it is certainly a marvel for ink sketching, concepts, technical illustration and finishing your detail work after the brushes have been put back in the holster.
I have a long way to go to master this twin art form finish but I admire the works of chuck who is obviously a master and is fully conversed with this digital field.
Here are some more shots that will show the jump from manual to finishing digitally and a couple more of the Cintique dwg tablet and a sci-fi concept sketch that is the kind of work I like to do to get my hand in.
I have also done a little more fiddly finishing work on the piece and changed the name.
I think it is done now.
OILS
MANUAL PAINTING ON A CANVAS
DIGITAL PEN
The Wacom...
Sci-Fi sketches
This will give you a bit more of a background as to where my art has originated(all those years ago) - not WW2 but that's where I'm headed now.
One man drop ship on a moon base
Any way back to the models for a while.
Thanks for your patience with my excitement on my new venture.
Regards
Ian.
