Playing with Color

Howdy folks!
In this study, I tried to capture the mood of the pose as well as the likeness of the model.
...and I forced myself to do it entirely with Painter.
It turned out good, I think, even after a long hiatus from painting digitally.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Self-Portrait

Hello folks!
This digital sketch started out as a simple montage - I wanted to make a unique self-portrait/profile picture - and it evolved towards a quick illustration. The montage itself didn't turn out very good, then I thought "Hey, I haven't painted anything for a while..." so I decided to use the crude montage as a reference for this quick digital sketch.
Hope you guys enjoy it. It was fun painting it.
Later folks!
