Woodcut'n printing

Long image, in blog format, for your blog reading pleasure!
A photo of my first two woodcut prints which i did in the grafic printing introduction class :3 I am amazed there was such a class availible for us at the less practical end of academia, and very pleased. Next stop is etching! Never tried that one before. Dipping things in acid is strangely aluring.

I'll try to choose a less foresty(<3) theme for the next stuff.

Cheers!

Food study

Long time no post!

Quick study(hour or two) of baby eggplants on top of an a4 sketchbook. So tiny and cute, 

wish I had showed their scale! They went bad, so I had to use them for something.

I regret not eating them...

Moar to come sooooooooon :]

Rembrandtin'

Art history exam is coming up in two days :( My hands get ichy when reading about art, I can't help it. Painted mr Rembrandt instead of reading about him right away I guess.

Typical master study practice, I focused on recreating the use of light and colours, trying to figure out how this handsome, old devil worked. Thanks to wikipedias art-database project, I managed to get a real good look at the sexy brush-strokes: the original

I chose to copy his last known selfportrait(allthough he looks youger in this than some earlier ones). It is said that he didn't intend for his paintings to be as dark as we see them today, the warnish he used, is said to have darkened over time.

Anyway, I think I did capture something about the painting, hopefullly the use of light, maybe the skintones? I must have done something right this time :)

PS CS5, standard brushes,
step by step images are the 4 layers used.


Egh... Back to reading thick books umder presure.

Second try

This is an elf. With traditional pixie hair. Wanted her to look like she is part of some fictional culture and society. Nothing more to say about this motif.

Progress and final. Started this in august maybe? Forgot, and now, on saturday, reworked it for another 10 hours. Ha. Not especially proud of this. Maybe I'll pick it up once again if I get some good tips...

This was not a prosess of painting but of nothing but corecting. Might have something to do with the staring the picture as a stylistic sort of thing, and ending it in trying to be "correct"

Photoshop, basic brushes and one homemade.

30-40 hours LOL snail slow
