"The Dark Knight" - Another quick and dirty study. This one was about 50
minutes, trying to push it so I could get it done even quicker. Hard as
always to get the likeness in such a short time but workin on it.
Practice, practice, practice!
"The Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder" - Another
"Dark Knight" study lol :) Well not really the Dark Knight were used to
seeing, but the classic Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder of the 1960's!
I had fun with this one because of the campy nature of it, as well as all of the different colors in the palette. Also, this was a chance for me to really play around with texture brushes. I'm a big fan of very painterly, impressionistic work so this was a time for me to try and capture the mood without getting too caught up in details.
It's also a good exercise because I want to see how "painterly" I can be and still sell the idea without having to focus so much on the detail. Since it's personal work I can experiment and not be bogged down by what an art director thinks my style is supposed to look like. There's a lot of freedom in doing exercises like this :)
Finally, if you're curious, this was done in Photoshop CS4 and took 1hr and 30 mins. Thanks and enjoy your Sunday!
