RedBeard Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Okay, I'm not entirely sure why it took me so long to get around to your gallery, but I'm feeling like I've really missed out! You have some INCREDIBLE pieces on display here! All of your pieces are so strong, it's impossible for me to choose just one as my favorite. You have a wonderful style and flawless execution. I, for one, will definitely be keeping a close eye on your gallery from here on out. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullbonz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I say the Violin would be my favorite. Quote http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/21233-skullbonz-art-gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 @Dug - thanks so much - I really battled with the robot stuff. @Red Beard - You are too kind to say all of that - much appreciated for sure. @Skullboz - Hey, thank you - a lot! And here is a quizz! Who do you think this is?

HELEN Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Oh my gosh! It's barbie! Awww...she looks really good. LOVE the details. I'm taken aback. Beautiful, beautiful portrait! Pixey, you draw really well.

jim100361 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Amazing work (as usual). I'm curious, how long does it take you to put together a portrait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Pixey, what a wonderful portrait! I am stunned by the level of detail. The lipstick & the teeth are just spot on. Even more kudos to you since the original is a tiny wee pic from my deviant art id. A wonderful image, despite the subject Well done again Pixey & thank you for the lovely surprise & compliment.

yellowman Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Amazing Pixey, really This is from that tiny picture that I just saw? wow, you can see even pixels of the pixels. Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 @Helen - thanks for the compliments on my drawing .... but, there's always room for some improvement .... I think it may be easier with a tablet, but I'm stuck on the mouse. @Jim - it took me a couple of days to do BBQ. I begin from scratch (some people just paint over an image) and these are the steps I use: @BBQ - I am so glad you liked the portrait of yourself, and thank you for allowing me to use it in my Gallery. I thought it would be fun and glad you agreed @Yellowman - thank you so much Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

HELEN Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Pixey, couldn't you just use color right away?

Pixey Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 @Helen - Interesting that you ask about the colouring. I learned to do portraits in the grey scale, but am now learning to do it in colour right away. I believe it's a matter of preference and artists use both ways. I'm doing one right now (a famous fellow ) which I'll post when completed. I'm not sure which way I prefer .... yet!

Pixey Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 @Drydareelin - Thank you so much for your comments. @Welshy - Glad you liked my take on @BBQ Now for a change - A Cool Fellow - I suddenly realised I'd not done a chap before now This time I made it right away into colour and I think I actually prefer this method.

jim100361 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Great job once again. You've certainly got the eye necessary to do all these wonderful pieces. For whatever reason, in some portraits that I have done by hand (and where you would think that I would have better control), the finished pieces are somehow out of proportion, though they're still recognizeable. Maybe a face is a bit longer/shorter/wider than they should be. I never see any of these issues in your work. Again, great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 He looks amazing! His shirt folds are stunning. This digital image has a realistic paint texture to it. Very nice! As always, top-notch work from you!

Pixey Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 @Jim - Thanks once again for your kind words. I know I would not be able to get a face correct if I didn't use a "grid". Doing a face by hand would be a great challenge for me too. @Helen - Thank you so much. Hubby too commented on the shirt as well @RedBeard - You brought a big smile to my face with your comments. Thanks so much for your support, which is greatly appreciated. @Ella - Thank you for commenting and stopping by to look - you are very kind. @Welshy - Thanks a lot - so glad you liked it, as well as the T-shirt and eyes. Really appreciate your comments. @dug - I'm really happy to read your lovely comments. You are a cool guy too. And - not one of you said a jolly thing about his hair .
