[admiral mick]

Hello there !

I made this video of my Obi Wan Kenobi drawing.
I tried to mimic the style of Drew Struzan paintings that I like sooo much !
Like it, share it, tell me what you think about it

Gorgeous work, Mick!! You really got the wry smile of Sir Alec down there. I always wanted to know how Drew, Lawrence Noble and modern guys like Mark Ratts go about developing their works. You go with all pencil to start, then paint on the high lighted areas, then air brush then colored pencil? I know Ratts uses Copic pens in there too... Great stuff!!

thanks Flosi ! you are right : Mark Raats use markers and colored pencils, he use paint for the big projects but he doesn't use an airbrush. Drew struzan didn't use markers. I think Lawrence Noble used an airbrush but no colored pencil.
In facts : The "grisaille+glazing" method was used by oil painter during the last 400 years

Ok Darth Snoopy, i am highly motivated !

Mick, do you know of any tutorials for these type of techniques? I draw a little myself and have anyways been curious as to how these folks go about their craft.

 

[admiral mick]

Man, I just realized that only the moderators here are interested in my artwork

here is Drew Struzan explaining his technic :


here is the old but powerfull technic : Vermeer's Artistic Technique: Painting an Oil Copy of "Girl with a Pearl Earring"

airbrush made the glazing much faster to do...

does it worse a reputation bar ?

Thank you, Mick!! I think the mods here just have better taste than the masses.

Wow that is amazing work! It's such a unique style, i love it. What medium did you use? Like kind of paint, airbrush, type of paper etc?

 

[admiral mick]

thank you Cadoga
I use acrylic paint on gessoed board (light grey, not white) , I used an Aztek airbrush with a .4 mm nozzle . Then I use color pencils (primacolor)
