Quick Portrait

Of my brother, using online oekaki.
Took two hours spread over a couple of days.



(Note the beginnings of a crap physics-teacher goatee :P)

Really good! Is that from a photo or from him posing?

Not too shabby for an Oekaki piece, I cant stand the fact the majority of them dont have layers, or are limited to just two..., so I usually am forced working with low opacity settings on the brush to "fake" a paint-brush sort of painting thing...

Love the skin tones though, must have taken ages to get it as smooth as possible within said oeCrapi without throwing monitor out the window...

Check out 2draw: http://2draw.cellosoft.com
Their applet, Lascaux Sketch, is really advanced with multiple layers, anti-aliasing, blending, layer modes and everything. Really nice to use.

Here's another pic. No reference this time (I used a photo for the above one). A character from a game I will probably be making sometime in the future...

Great work JimBob. As an artist myself I would love to get into this online painting lark. Can you offer some advice on where I should begin as I haven`t a clue where to start. I love the pic above BTW.

Jason.

That's pretty good "Jimbob".

However, how do we know it looks anything like your brother?
