Our SVS Virtual Studio 2019!

[Heather Boyd]

So just completed my black and white practise portrait to work on blending (really does help in grey scale -question? Is there an SVS class that explains how to turn grey scale to colour? I have been trying YouTube videos but find them not as helpful as I'd like). I also used Liquefy better and only if I had to. Thanks (roughly 3 hours).

@Heather-Boyd The 10 step digital painting course does somewhat. Will Terry does a traditional "Grisaille" method, but digital. It's a good baseline. If you look a bit into that approach you'll see that greyscale first, as the grisaille technique, subjugatess your color to your value very strongly and tends to be used most in tight academic styles. If you want the focus on the color and not to lose the subtle color shifts of the face, you may need to focus on value matching but repaint with opaque color.

Right now I've decided I need to do more "master study" copies, so I'm starting with my first-ever favorite illustrator, Brett Helquist.

@Braden-Hallett Wow. I love the shading on your pictures. They are so 3-dimensional and the lines are clean and easy to follow.

@Braden-Hallett Great idea! I will do that. Thanks!

@Buddy-Skelton Thank you so much for your suggestion. I will definitely look into that

Do you guys ever draw the face construction and then add mouth and eyes? It always looks creepy to me.

My wife says she never wants another cat after the two we have. But when she goes to the pet store she wants to take home every fleabag there.

@Braden-Hallett I am sure that you hear this all the time but, WOW. That is amazing. Great job on the color. It looks so alive!

Finishing up Beginners Photoshop class - I am so happy I can blend without needing to depend on the mixer brush! Thanks @Will-Terry for unlocking the Pen Pressure buttons on Photoshop. That as well as experimenting with opacity and brush size for a more even blend. Started with the black and white for his frog and will have to finish up with the colour sometime this coming week. Always room for improving, but here is the black and white one. Thanks again.

Just finished up the colour one today .

Mouse practice. This one is all my own creation. No Instagram references.
I did use my own photo for the flower though. The mouse is from my brains.
