Steven's drawing/paintings

[Steven]

Hey there ^^. I've been fairly recently really getting into digital art, as well as colour and composition in general. For years I just did black and white pencil sketches, but now that I've got a graphics tablet and a few good digital art programs, I've been painting away and using a lot more colour.
I know that in the rules for this section it is preferred that I upload my pictures on this site, but I've got the viewing versions of my pictures in png format and they're larger in proportion than this site allows...so I'm guessing it's ok if I just link to my DeviantArt page instead? =)

I update this whenever I paint a new picture. Hope you like ^^
All of these paintings except one are done in Painter Classic. I have now got photoshop, but I haven't finished any paintings with it yet.

xD Thanks! That's my latest one. I try to paint my digital paintings so that they have some elements of brush strokes in (noticably this happens in the cravatte in this particular painting) so that it doesn't have the photographically smooth look that most digital paintings have.

stunning artwork you have there, specially the "Sheriff of Nottingham".

Do you paint with oils or watercolors in rl? if so and you follow with your portraiture, you can be pretty dam good and have an even very bright future from my opinion.

I have done some amount of real painting in the past, mostly with watercolour, but I've also tried acrylic at some point and at school we've used poster paint. In the case of this digital art, I'm using Corel Painter Classic and I believe it's probably acrylic paint that it's synthesizing. And thank you! I'm not exactly sure how I might put my painting to use in a career, but I would quite like to. At the moment I'm really wanting to get into the games industry for writing soundtracks, as I've been doing with Ansiria.
