It does look better but a couple things that still stick out to me are the eyes and the mouth. Because the bottom lip isn't symmetrical it looks like she's shifting her lower jaw to her left. The eyes also don't look like they have volume or the little red section on the inside (Lacrimal caruncle). The eyes look a bit 2 dimensional because the upper and lower lids are too symmetric. Quick sketch I made to show you have the curve of the lids at the corners give it volume.  Eyes will have different shapes but you can generally separate each lid into two or three stokes to give it its shape.

Here's some mixed media sketches I did this morning. I'm hoping to do some larger, more finished pieces like this with models. 140726-1 by philip painter, on Flickr 140726-2 by philip painter, on Flickr 140726-2detail by philip painter, on Flickr

How do you price your artwork? This isn't a full-time job for me, and I'm not established at all. I was thinking of something like "cost of materials + 50%," but I didn't know if there was a more specific way people do it. Thanks.

the posted:How do you price your artwork? Unfortunately, I think the answer is "how ever much you can get for it." If it's a contract piece for something like a magazine, poster, band, whatever, there are market rates and there are books that list them. If it's something you did on your own and want to sell, well... you might want to look around to see what other local artists are charging. Around me a lot of restaurants and bars host local artists selling works; you might be able to get some prices from something like that.

I took some of my stuff to Art Walk in downtown LA last month, and it was both my first time at an Art Walk and my first time attempting to sell my art. I only brought my originals, and even though people loved them, the average person can't really afford paying for an original. If I had brought prints, which can be sold for 5-10 bux, I probably could've made a decent little pile of cash. The point is: don't undervalue your work, but do provide some affordable alternatives.

What kind of ink and pen do you use? Whenever I draw with india ink through a crowquill pen, it ends up running when I apply watercolor.

Beautiful stuff, I digs. Here's a little baby dragon I drew. I made him kind of bird-like because of the supposed evolutionary link between birds and dinosaurs, and dragons are kind of like dinosaurs. Usually use a crowquill but this one was ballpoint. Edit: Image ain't workin, phooey.

I've kinda been switching between a few brands. My favorite so far has been the Liquitex acrylic ink, in either black or burnt umber. For this one I was lazy and just used a black .005 copic pen. All are waterproof so they really shouldn't run or anything. Also I pretty much just use a crow quill for most everything. Here's another one that I used the burnt umber ink/watercolor on - Bluebeard!

Decided to randomly do a study on a piece of cardboard. Sharpee and acrylic paint. I don't paint a lot because I can never get the line quality similar to my digital art style, but this one came pretty close so I'm happy with the improvement.

I'm just spinning my wheels at the moment but heres a late one. Lots of masking tape and slow construction. Is this a completely dead image or is there something interesting? Ive been losing out on a lot of competitions and opportunities recently but i've spent so long staring at stuff I'm completely lost as to how to judge it, does anyone else have this problem? http://imgur.com/zSg4a4P Edit: still loving up img tags every time i give up

I'm finding it really hard to parse - is it an oil rig? The palette is good, but otherwise I'm not too keen on it.

Although I think the staircase structure really dominates it. The only thing I could suggest is maybe putting some red lights in among the city lights to get the eye to move away from the structure some. The couple chem trails you have moving out help some, but they're too much like the rest of the palette to do the work by themselves. Also the edges have a bit of a seam where the brushstrokes break down. I assume that's where it's been stretched over a frame?

It's an old style ore bridge, its supposed to appear kindof alien thats why the scale is so distorted. I was going for a kindof poison arrow frog colour effect, high contrast warning sign type thing. Thanks for the feedback, i should do this more often

Yeah I get kindof locked into a colour palette then get scared of going 'out' of it for fear of it becoming more gross and overly vivid - as if they aren't already. Yeah thats a home made stretcher and i still need to learn how to mitre (?) the edges of the inside down so thats where that line comes from, I'm also extraordinarily impatient with drying primer which makes it even worse. Thanks for the help though I'll try to repay the favour.

My UPS package to Wizard of Smart loving broke and he didn't get this, because it has been trashed: This isn't even necessarily the "front," I was excited to see which side he'd photograph and post here. There was one other item inside, the rogue dead guy ale bottle I posted earlier. That is gone as well.

ajrosales, if you like the idea of playing with the paint textures (the red and blue bits especially) you can get some really interesting effects with latex paint too! Found a square piece of cardboard under my desk and no work so (calligraphy ink, alcohol-based markers, white color pencil, whiteout on cardboard)

Those are actually just decals printed from a regular old laser printer. Just apply the decal and refire it back to cone 05 and everything but the iron oxide in the toner burns off and fires into the glaze. Edit: I did however catch, print, and eat that particular fish. His sacrifice lives on. Hollis Brownsound fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Last semester's soda firing was a huge success!  That's about 12" tall and 17" across, B-Mix fired to just under cone 11 with a D'Arvor kaolin based flashing slip.
