"I Draw Girls" Artist



Another Tutorial. This guy has worked on the newer Star Wars movies. He's a master of creating beautiful women. I think faces are his strong point. Considering I work on faces alot, I have alot to learn by studying these awesome speed paintings.

Stephan Cefalo, I think he might be a magician



I am in utter shock of this man, Stephen Cefalo. Simply amazing! Absolutely AMAZING! FANTASTIC!

I wonder what he uses to start on his canvas. Its a nice wash of some sort. If I could have the opportunity to model for this man it would be really cool in exchange for technique. But he lives far away. Best portrait artist I've ever watched paint. So fast. So much energy. As Tony Yin Tak Chu has said to me, "sometime...less is more... spending more time does not mean better result..."

Pretty great to learn detailing and advanced techniques!

f l a p t r a p s a r t . - Richard Anderson

Just stumbled upon a new (or new to me) artist today. Richard Anderson is a master of using every brushstroke to lead the eye dramatically. His work is softly lit with sharp loose strokes that enhances details. I love the strokes!
