Painting my own Portraits - #1 Done!

[Radar6590]

Hey all,

I'm here because I'm in the middle of creating a portrait pack, and instead of just posting them all up at once, I figured I could get some feedback from the community as they were completed! The plan is to get a very detailed portrait for both sexes of all of the races in the end. I plan to have one completed at least once a week, if not more often. I'll be sure to edit this post regularly with updates.

This is a project that I'm doing in my spare time. Otherwise I'm an upcoming Senior Illustrator at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, so bear with me on my own deadlines.



also, here is a link to a more detailed version, for those who want to see that. The face is based on Sifra-Stock's Male Stock 005.

As a preemptive disclaimer, you my use and distribute the portraits I'm making freely. I just ask that if you do reblog them (i.e. blogspot, twitter, FB, etc.)where others can see, that you credit me as the artist (Jaymes Thompson), and provide my email (Jaymes.S.Thompson@gmail.com)in case anyone takes an interest in these. Thank you.

Looks pretty cool. I am doing the same thing over in my thread if you want to check that out.

Your painting style is... a bit impressionistic? I mean that you are using some vague shapes and colors to define the hair and things. Well it looks cool. Keep making them! I have been trying to make at least 1 every day. Is this first portrait based on you or someone you know?

Like I said, its not done. The hair and neck are in very early stages, and I need to touch up the face a little more. It'll be finished by tomorrow at the latest, though.

I'd say that it was too impressionist as is, too.

As for who it is, it's actually based on stock image. Thank you for reminding me. I'll edit the link into my post.

Portrait 1 completed!

I know I said it'd be done by this morning, but the hair took a little longer than I had anticipated. I'm only ten minutes late (for Est)! >_> Hope you guys like it.

Next up: Human female

Great work, but seems too "modern". Awesome technique. Go on!
