Saturday Morning Sketch #6
I did this one a few weeks back, but never got around to posting it. I was trying out a new Photoshop brush my friend Dominique Louis came up with. Thanks Dominique!
I haven't seen such painterly quality from a digital artist. It's great to see it can be done and in such a superior way. This piece is stunning in it's simplicity and the light is mesmerizing. Great blog!
Paul, Do you sell any of your paintings< In particular I was looking to buy one of the Prince of Egypt paintings as a 16th birthday gift for my youngest sister. Any way you can contact me and let me know?
We we're introduced today by Zhaoping, very nice meeting you. Your work is always inspirational, and I hope you'll consider teaching at Art Center again, I know all the students would love it!
Your blog has been recommended to us as a interviewee's favorite blog!
We would like to do an interview with you about your blog for Blog Interviewer. We'd like to give you the opportunity to give us some insight on the "person behind the blog."
It would just take a few minutes of your time. The interview form can be submitted online here Submit your interview.
Hey Paul, Love your works especially the ones on Pod Architecture. I'm currently a student in the field of Architecture and I recently acquired an Intuous 4 drawing tablet. I'd love to be able to draw like you, do you have any tips or suggestions on how I should proceed in learning the to use the drawing tablet? Hope to hear from you. Cheers!
Just wanted to say thanks so much for what you share on your blog - its really served as an inspiration for me.
I was an out of work illustrator masquerading as a graphic designer, then I happened to watch the extras on the lord of the rings trilogy that showcased your paintings, among others. This really clicked with me and I was inspired that there was life for my illustration career yet. From there I read the Lord of the Rings artwork books and then found your blog.
Though I am miles and miles away from your level of technique I just find that whenever I see your work a voice inside me says 'Go for it!'
At the moment I actually have regular illustration commissions - compared to where I was a few years ago this is a complete miracle. Hopefully Im improving as I go - like Marcelo Vignali says 'Its about the journey'.
Thanks a million! Look forward to seeing more of your work :)
