Here's another quick digital painting I just did, it's an illustration for an editorial piece about a man who supposedly had a lump that was cancer in his lung, but it actually turned out to be a pea that had germinated in his lungs!

Alexa, I would love to know how you get that great charcoal-y line digitally! Will you share? Thanks, Gin

ReplyDeleteI'm also curious about the charcoal effects.Brilliant...how did you do it? Is that highly confidential?
ReplyDeletei would seriously pay you to do an online course teaching your techniques.I love doing digital art but I can't do what you do, that's for sure. Seriously.That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks
ps I live in the tri-state area....do you teach anywhere in manhattan? One on one teaching possible? Sorry to harrass but I'm really fascinated...
Dear Jamaica,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your kind remarks and admiration of my work. Unfortunately, I would like to keep the "secrets" of my style to myself, otherwise it would not quite be my style anymore. However I encourage you to keep looking at art that you're fascinated by, and you will become inspired and eventually pick up those techniques without even realizing it. I can say that I've learned much about my style and how I technically complete my illustration during my education at Pratt Institute.
PS. The images you post on your blog are beautiful.
Sincerely,
Alexa
