Mountains


I finally figured out how to flip an image and use it for a reflection. Now I'll probably never use that skill. Experimenting w/ some different brushes and stuff. Still trying to learn this big program.

Sprinter


Proportion is hard for me. The back hand is slightly larger than the one in the front. Also, I'm not sure about the muscles around the hip area. I'm going to have to read up on that a bit. Feet and hands are just difficult in general. No reference as always. Charcoal / pencil /wacom tablet

Prague

My lack of skill in Painter X sort of ruined this one. It was going nicely, then I messed up a mask. I was trying to select a chunk from the middle, invert it, mess with it a bit, and use it as a reflection in the water. I've still not figured out how to do it. Anyway, I accidentally saved before getting rid of all the traces from the mask. It still looks okay though. Learning as I go.

Anatomy #3


Harder than it looks. ;)

Island


Eh, not so great. Saw this suggestion for people to paint an island with a giant sculpture on it. This is what I came up with...

Nun at Vatican


Not a good one, but I'll post it anyway. I never really finished it. Sort of lost interest before the end. The file size was causing some funny behavior in Painter too. Anyway...here it is.

House

This is my first attempt at getting convincing looking oils out of Corel Painter X. I'm excited to see what I can do in the future. Pretty happy w/ this farm house.
