Waiting in Vain - Digital Painting

Hi there!

Recently I purchased the new Sketchbook pro 7, it's a painting/sketching software, very intuitive and powerful. I doodled some stuff during the week, and then decided to do a digital painting with it.

I planned to paint a scene from a theater play, that I saw in an old photo. I wanted to create a bitter sweet romantic atmosphere, and yet minimalistic.

I called the painting - Waiting in Vain

If you like this painting, you can find the print on my Redbubble Store



I have a lot of beautiful exciting stuff waiting for you! Stay tuned, and have a great day :)

Blonde Ambition - Illustration

Hi there!

I never was a big fun of Adobe Illustrator. I tried it once but it was too illogical :P. Lately, after a long time of digital painting with Photoshop, I decided to give it another try. I was more careful, and studied only the essentials, that were needed for digital painting, and vector art. Luckily, I'm getting the hang of it, and now, it is easier for me to explore this software.

Here is a pop art illustration of a beautiful Nordic blonde, that I've created with Illustrator. I like it a lot, and it is already available at my Redbubble online store!

Take a look :

I already created more exciting illustration and I will post them later on, stay tuned!

Gloomy Marilyn Monroe - A Sketch

Hi there,

Recently I've stumbled upon some photos of Marilyn Monroe that were taken by Life magazine in 1953. The photos were taken in her home, she was 26 years old, and looked more comfortable and cozy. To me she looked a bit different from the glamorous Marilyn that we all know. I could sense the vulnerability and the sadness in some of the photos, and I really liked them. Those photos were interesting because you could see the human being behind the icon. She was still beautiful in those pictures, but not in a glamorous way, just a beautiful woman in her own home.

Her eyes reflected some sort of pain, even when she smiled, and that immediately caught my attention. I decided to do a sketch of her, and to present her to the world as I saw her - Beautiful and sad woman.

Here is the sketch, notice how her eyes talk

The sketch was created using Wacom graphic tablet.

Hope you liked it! See you next time :)

Fluorescent Girl - Digital Paint

Hi there!

Yet another Digital Paint :) This time, a woman's portrait. I wanted to create a sensual and mysterious atmosphere, and to use some fluorescent colors.

This painting started as a simple rough sketch, but those outlines helped me painting the whole portrait.

Take a look at the sketch

Pretty simple huh? I'm not trying to capture all the details, just the general image. Later on, the painting will come to life and I would be able to change or tweak some misplaced lines.

During the painting process, I'm checking some color schemes and backgrounds (it's easy with digital painting :)).

The expression and atmosphere change while I'm painting until I am fully satisfied with the portrait.

Check it out :

I really like the end result :)

Have a beautiful day :) See you next time!
