A drawing a day. I have been flirting with the idea for quite some time, and I think now is the right time for such a project. Or as right as it can ever be. So basically the idea is to complete a drawing a day. Each one of them
Catching Fire. Heavily referenced by Katniss, however she is not supposed to look like her. Anyways, this post is all about using and manipulating fire in a digital painting. Painting was done on an iPad Pro, using Apple Pencil and procreate app, but the process can be applied in photoshop
Painting Javier Bardem as Captain Salazar today, and demonstrating how to use my custom crack (and other) brushes in an artwork. Pirates of the Caribbean 5, aka “Dead Men tell no tales” was an amazing movie and the least I can do is pay a small tribute. 🙂 Like most

And that’s quite understandable since skin consists not only of multiple hues of browns, reds, and yellows, but also unlikely colors such as greens, blues and purples. (Yes, really!) Fortunately,
