And then suddenly, an influx of graphic designers.

Sorry Mike  Tongue

Very nice work though, your style of illustration is seamless. I'm envious of concept designers and illustrators; the line of work I originally wanted to go into when I first went to art school!

I'm glad you like Grin  You shouldn't envy me however, this kind of art is incredibly challenging and time-consuming compared to the pay and frequency of work, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone Tongue  But if you have a resistance to both pain and depression, it's never too late to start; check out these books by Andrew Loomis, they'll teach you everything you would ever want to know about drawing.

I love drawing I think the problem is i don't know the best way to clean up the line-work of a scanned drawing. Tracing the work as paths in Illustrator never seems to retain the organic-ness of the original.

Yeah lineart is a really tough gig; fortunately I'm a painter so I never have to worry about having clean lineart Grin  The best way I know how to do it is to take an opacity brush at 75% hardness in photoshop and clean it up by hand; vector paths always makes it look way too perfect, and you can't do much about line thickness (at least as far as I know) so I try to avoid it, unless I really gotta use it.  I think I'd go crazy having to clean up lineart, it's such a time-consuming process, but for those who can go through with it, the results look really nice; some artists are incredible at lineart.

How much do you charge for your service? Can you deliver a paint on a paper or you just draw on the PC?

Really nice and original art, i enjoyed watching every painting. Who inspires you to make paintings like "dog soup"? Is it your original idea? If your are not doing any order what kind of themes you draw the most? Thanks.

I also support this idea, you could make maybe not a tutorial but how you makes these painting in fast motion because i bet they take alot of time.  Wink

Sorry guys!  I neglected to check this thread for a little while Grin

Very nice work. I bookmarked it as well.

Thanks so much!

How much do you charge for your service? Can you deliver a paint on a paper or you just draw on the PC?

It depends on the subject matter; I charge roughly $10 per working hour, so really simple stuff is relatively inexpensive and really intricate works such as book covers can run up to $100.  The average painting will typically be around $45, but I give my clients a concrete estimate of what the painting will cost from the start so there are no surprises.  I do all my work digitally but you're free to have the original .psd file for printing purposes.

Really nice and original art, i enjoyed watching every painting. Who inspires you to make paintings like "dog soup"? Is it your original idea? If your are not doing any order what kind of themes you draw the most? Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words.  Dog Soup was actually commissioned by Matthew N. Wright, who was unfortunately banned some time ago.  He'd given me a whole BTC out of charity so I insisted I paint something for him in return Grin  The idea of there being a dog in a soup bowl was possibly a funny on his part considering he lived in SK at the time of this.  For personal art, I usually do sketches of my own character designs; I have aspirations to become a video game artist and so spend much of my free time doing mock concept art.  I have a very ambivalent view on art for art's sake, so it's rare to catch me doing any sort of art that doesn't serve some ulterior purpose, if not for my own improvement.  But I believe I tend for "darker" themes when left to my own devices, i.e. Nightmare Before Christmas sort of designs or demons and such Tongue

I've always wanted to do something like this, I certainly do love to teach.  I'll see about recording my paintings for you guys.  The tools I use are: a Wacom Intuos4L with old drivers because the new ones are messed up (Tongue), and Photoshop CS6 with a small set of custom brushes I've made tailored for drawing and painting.  I use an image size of A4 when painting and shrink down to post on the nets.  I'll update the thread with a video whenever I get the chance Grin

Nice to see you're still around Eddie Grin  I saw your thread hadn't been bumped since November, thought you stopped working.
