This last one is really interesting. I see some real potential here. The style of this is very graphic, I think you might push that aspect some. The painting technique at first comes off a little muddy, but on the other hand, you've got some interesting texture going there. I'd like to see just a tad bit more separation between the foreground and the background, but that could just be my taste talking. The "flatness" of this peice is a lot of the charm, and a lot of what I mean when I say "graphic". It also would easily translate into digital techniques, which I also suggest you explore………could be fun.
I did an experiment with this peice in Photoshop, and I'll post it if you want.
Hey Yomark, I'm happy for you to post. I'm quite interested to see and learn what you have done. I'm glad you found it interesting. I'll honestly admit my 'style' is accidental rather than skill. However, if people like it and see potential in it, I'm all ears to take it to the next level.Its actually Colour Drawing Inks rather than paint/watercolours. I've only tried it a couple of times now. I don't know how to paint and wouldn't have the confidence to try anything. Ink seeps into the paper rather than sits on it like matte. So I can still see my pencil lines as I colour the piece and do my India Inks. Ink also blends with a adjacent ink really simply, as long as its still wetish. Its a small drawing: 148mm x 100mm. Its drawn on a light Water Colour Postcode - 140lbs or 300gsm. The inks let the paper texture show through a bit more.
I actually did very little. I masked out the foreground, then applied "dust and scratches", then "watercolor" effects to the backgound, just to give it some separation and definition from the foreground. Is it "better"?, I would not presume to say so. Just a demonstration of what I was talking about. How you would do this on the actual peice, withOUT PhotoShop effects is another matter.
Anyway, as a stand-alone peice (yours, not my tweak) I think this could pass as a highly-paid illustrator's.
Here's what I did:
Oh! And about "style": I felt the same way as you, but the longer I work, the more I see a definate style, although I never set out to create one (even though I've definately immitated different artists I admire). I think it just comes naturally as you go.
It MIGHT be possible by using dilluted bleach and then going over the same areas with color, but the technique this immitates would be more plausible with opaque paints. I've seen it done with oils (I forget what that particular technique is called).Originally Posted by ThiWhitaker

Very cool sketches Smygba and I wouldn't worry too much about accidental painting, Alot of my paintings is based on happy accidents
