Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

This took a long time but I felt like I needed to sink the time into a full-on airbrushing piece again. I was originally going for a generic pin-up and I had some decent poses but I didn’t feel they were interesting enough, certainly nothing worth sinking the time into. So I went back and [...]

Here’s another piece using a picture of the always lovely Adriana Lima as reference. Whenever I do an airbrush piece from reference, I always try to own it on some way so that it’s not just a straight up copy (which is boring to me). Sometimes I’ll change the hair a bit or maybe I’ll [...]

Just playing around in the morning. I saw this tutorial and I wanted to try out the technique shown at the very bottom of it. That guy is really good and he has a bunch of other tutorials which should be quite helpful in future pieces. I like how this turned out all things considered [...]

This is definitely the best (and probably the most time consuming) piece I’ve done yet. Originally, I wanted to make a girl with a mecha arm (it had a completely different pose) but I was trying to do it from my head and, after spending a while doing that, I realized that it wasn’t coming [...]

Sorry for the horrible title but it’s the best I could come up with. Just a quick painting exercise before I get back to work on some commissions. I tried using a softer brush this time because I noticed that some of my previous efforts look kinda rough around the edges (literally). Still going back [...]

So I underwent minor surgery a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been itching to get this piece off my chest because, and no offense to the kind ladies that helped me, nurses most definitely do not look like this. I’ve been misled by porn yet again.

Getting some more airbrushing done. I used a bunch of different references for this one. Since I’m getting much better results when I work in grayscale, I figured I might as well go with straight-up black and white for this one. I purposely went darker with the whole piece and I added a bit of [...]

Trying my hand at some straight up airbrushing in Photoshop again. This is maybe my 5th attempt at it in the last couple of weeks. The previous tries weren’t going anywhere so they sit unfinished and will probably remain that way forever. I used a picture of the beautiful Adriana Lima for reference this time [...]

Trying to bring my airbrushing up to snuff. I went out of my way to not use any outlines and it all worked out pretty well overall. I’m learning that results with this method aren’t instantaneous and that you really have to work and build the figure. Was completed entirely in Photoshop with nothing but [...]

I wanted to do something to celebrate my 10,000+ pageviews on deviantART so here it is. Aside from the general pose and stuff, I really had no idea what I was going for when I started to work on this but I do kinda like how it turned out technique-wise. It’s a method I want [...]
