Software: Corel Painter X + Photoscape + Adobe PS CS4
Brushes: Wet oils, Chalk, Flat oil, Camel impasto, Gouche Cloner for the shirt, Oil brush, A little Fine Gouache brush
Model: Jack Macleod

Comments (Photo 1): A portrait I made for my friend Jack and his Dad, took me longer than usual because of the two models. Notice the green hue.

Comments (Photo 2): A solo picture of my friend's grandma. He gave very little to work with because of the low resolution picture he gave me. That's why I always ask my customers that they always give me a hi-resolution pic so that the details are well shown.

Comments (Photo 3): Another portrait of Jack and his Grandma. This time I put in a blue hue.

Comments: My work was all cut out for me because of her features being so defined on the picture. Also, I opted that the background be white to further define her. I had trouble with the hair though, but I think it came up pretty nice. Wadd'ya think?

Comments: Valentine's day, and I was waltzing around the mall. Just donated some blood because a person was in dire straits. There I was about to collapse from exhaustion (I donated blood after my night shift so I hadn't had any sleep) when my college friend popped up. Long story short, she treated me to lunch - ON VALENTINE'S DAY! I never thought I'd have a date! Anyway, as a sort of thank you gift, I made this for her. Here you go Rox! Thanks for treat!

Comments: Yeah, I know I know, she's a porn star but she's one heck of a keeper this one! This one was fairly easy since I've already saved a lot of my brush setting from my previous works. I used artist canvas as my main paper.

Comments: This was my first digital painting. It was tough, but I managed to pull through. I gotta admit this portrait is kinda rough on the edges especially the blue and white background but I think I did pretty well for my first digital painting. :)
