The first eye was a try to keep old rules I learned. Stay on one stroking style.
I always chose this kind of boring thing. Took ages and is not too convincing.
But could be easy replicate in real world.
Next two pieces I threw away all these conventions and thought full digital, but with a traditional result in mind.
That is where verve comes in very strong.
Brush #9, size off, opacity on 30- 50% percent and you are shading in seconds, what would have needed hours with a pencil. But new canvas and verve itself gives this refreshing natural style. So I work more in adding and erasing shades untill it fits.
You can even smudge, but you have to erase after untill you get the canvas structure back.
To be honest, I never did something that realistic and vivid like the nose in my entire live.
I still can't belive that I did that.
Something I always wanted to be able to.
Thanks to verve & taron.
The third style is more artistic which allows much more room for my personality.
As I won't find much verve time next weeks, I'll go for that more often, but keep photorealistic stuff in mind.
Face parts, these will be my focus next time, untill I feel strong enough to fight my old enemys:
Hands & feet.
