[Carlitos]Waddup y’alls. Hope you all had a good weekend.
Anyway, on Friday, I was checking out some Painting books I wanted to get from Amazon, and that got me in the mood to do something a bit ‘painterly’ using Photoshop. I think Mike Lopez and I were checking out a book of Gustav Klimpt here at the studio, and that got me thinking a lot about silhouettes…. So, this piece here was basically an exercise in that… coming up with a simple silhouette first, and then flesh it out from the outside in without much regard to anatomy, limb placement, etc.
In this case, I wanted to use a cartoony shape, something that could have very easily been a Pokemon or something ‘softer’, but instead, used that outline and made it into some kind of bulky soldier. This took me about an hour or so, mainly I just wanted to play with color and outlines and have fun and not worry so much about it looking ‘finished’.
Peace y’alls!

....I just recently got into painting, and kick my self for not having gotten into it sooner! Sedat? If time allows you to do it, I highly recommend you do it, it will improve your drawings like a mo'fo.... nothing like a blank canvas and a brush to see all your weaknesses :)
