Learning Corel Painter

So lately, I've tried to use Corel Painter, because a lot of company requires people who can handle this software. And when I get my hands on it, it's incredible! The brushes are amazing and realistic. The interface is completely different from Photoshop though, so it takes time to get used to it. But so far, I'm enjoying drawing with this software. Here are some of the first drawings I've done using Painter (and Photoshop for finishing touch).

February Update

Well, hello there!

It's been a while since my last post, sorry for that. Lots of things to do on January. But now I got a little bit of free time, so I'll be updating this blog before it gets swarmed by moss xD

So... since I've been busy on January, this will be my first drawing on 2012. A little warm-up in Photoshop, nothing special. But after making this I realized, I should make more full-body drawing for anatomy practice. Oh well, next time I'll do just that LOL.

Megurine Luka Speedpainting

Another try in speed-painting. This time Luka makes appearance! 8D
This is a drawing for an Art Jam event in one of my Groups in DeviantArt. Every week we should draw a different Vocaloid characters. Week 1 : Megurine Luka.

Next Week is Utatane Piko. I'm planning to do another speedpainting like this so i can get used to Photoshop, because i think i use SAI too often ^^;

Draw This Again! Meme

Wow, I'm quite surprised when i see these drawing side-by-side. It's been 5 years since i made that drawing on the left.

Doodles & Experiments

So while i wait for the MPV album to be released, i made some doodles to experiment with halftone effect from Photoshop. Quite nice, giving 'Pop' feeling to the drawing.

Artblock is... blocking.

Yeah, this artblock disease is annoying. I really want to draw something, but somehow every time i tried, it feels wrong. What is the best way to handle this disease? I guess it's my mood swing that cause this. I should get rid of this, classes has started, and i don't want it to get in the way between me & my assignments.

But i guess, it's starts to slowly fade away. I tried to search more speed-painting tutorials on YouTube, and found some. I even found one from my favorite illustrator, Redjuice. God, he's so awesome. And he is using Wacom Cyntiq, damn that makes me drooling.

But well, thanks to that, i'm able to draw something. I guess when i have earn my own money from my own works, i'll save it to buy a Cyntiq.

Barong Speed-Paint

Can't sleep, so i draw some more :D
I've just bought a Barong Trading Figure from MegaTen series. Barong is actually a mystical creature from Indonesia. It's concept is so cool, but looks like lots of illustrator and Comic makers in my country doesn't realize this.

So, this is a tribute for Barong. May it's coolness never dissapear.

Speed-painting Technique

This is a speed-panting of one of my old original Character. A cyborg jackal. Well, to be honest, this is one of my first speed-paint artworks. Turns out great, i presume. I did this in Photoshop CS3, with my Wacom Bamboo Fun in approx. 30 minutes.

I should do this more often, so i can paint more detail in less time.
