Airbrushing

Axel Williams of Axel Will Airbrushing produced this  bike tank decoration


based on my artwork. Nice rendering I think! I could never get to grips with an air brush, so I have much respect for anyone who can do it.

My original digital piece:


KBO

Winston Churchill, during our 'finest hour', from a photo by Cecil Beaton...

Bonus Nude

Ta da!


Female Knight

This is based on this photo, by kuskostock or at least the figure/pose is. I thought it was suitable to form the basis of a piece requested by mdkBlackWolf of their female knight character Terra d'Arcy.

Couple sketch

This was drawn from this stock.

Sort of lends itself to a maiden riding a centaur, I'm thinking (a theme I've visited before)...

Watts what?

This was done from a photo of Naomi Watts. I'm going to try to improve at drawing recognizable likenesses of individuals. I suspect there's no particular trick to it- it's a matter of observation, and paying attention to the  angles of the various lines that define a form, and the relative lengths of these lines, and distances and  angles between key points. Also a matter of overcoming preconceptions about how things look, or should look.
