These Pretzels are Making Me Thirsty!

Hi there,

Woody Allen is one of my favorites directors and actors, I just love his comedy and his neurotic Jewish character. I think I saw all of his filmography (even the so called "lousy" parts) and just enjoyed every minute of it! As a little tribute to this wonderful artist (and thanks to a brief boredom), I drew a little sketch, nothing fancy, and I immediately remembered the unforgettable line from Seinfeld : "These pretzels are making me thirsty!"

Here's Woody!

Silhouette Fun - Stretching Dog

Hi there,

Looking back at all my graphics and designs, I've noticed that people really enjoy my silhouettes. I like to create them but it's been a while since I've made one. Lately I've been painting dog portraits, and I thought that a dog silhouette would fit perfectly. I've searched the web and found out that there are more cats' silhouettes than dogs... so I began to work on it :)

It's simple yet fun and sophisticated, take a look :

I think I'll do more of this style soon, I have many creative silhouette ideas, so stay tuned :)

Purchase a poster of this fine silhouette here :)

Johnny Winter's Show

Hi there,

Some of you may have noticed that I love Blues music. Fortunately I had the chance to attend the legendary Johnny Winter's show, in Tel Aviv. He looks old and tired, but I tell you, he still has the energy of a 20 years old. If you have a chance and you like Blues, don't miss his show. It's energetic and rough, like it should be.
I took some pics and I'd like to share them with you! Enjoy :)

Speed Painting Video of a Pug

Hi there!

I usually post this kind of stuff on my DigitalDogPortraits.com blog, but I thought you would like it too :)
This is a speed painting of a Pug, using graphic tablet and an old version of Photoshop (CS2). When I create a commissioned Dog Art I usually prefer using Vector Art on the outlines, and digital painting it afterwards, this time I just sketched a simple and loose figure, and then digitally painted it. The result - a beautiful Pug portrait, which is based on the original portrait (taken by Mike Wacht photography).

Check out the video

Here is the final version of the portrait

My Latest Sketch

Hi there,

I was very busy the past two weeks, transferring my site (DigitalDogPortraits.com) from GoDaddy to BlueHost, it was a nightmare but it's all over now :)

Let me share with you a little sketch I made during one of the breaks.

The title is "Woman who seek to be equal with men lack ambition"-Timothy Leary.

I just love to sketch women and the woman's body, it is so beautiful :) Soon I think I'll sketch some more women, and be prepared for some surprises ;)

I'll see you soon! Have a great day!

A Saturday at the Local Dog Shelter

Hi there,

Last Saturday I've visited the local dog shelter, just wanted to help a little. I love to take pictures there, the atmosphere is great, and it is really easy to capture some lovely moments. I've posted most of my photos last week on DigitalDogPortraits.com, but today I discovered 2 more great photos, and I want to share them with you!

I think that the photos are very emotional and a little bit sad (take a look at the brown puppy's eyes).

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 :)

If you like it too, you might want to check out the printed version of  "Fluorescent Girl" on my online store.

Have a beautiful day :) See you next time!
