Ilya Repin Master Studies

Some horrible scribbles to disgrace and crap all over the original beauty of Ilya Repin.

I think these took around 2 hours each or so, (must force myself to do a long study) Never get sick of Repin and am always shocked to find colours I never would of dreamed of in skin, hair and other areas. Black hair full of green, yellow, purple and blue….. 0.0 ahhh ok.

WIP

Edit: just uploaded these guys again with a few touch ups, still not totally happy with them as usual but every painting is just about better than the last.

Sad news: Frank Frezetta passed away today at the age of 82. RIP Frank.

Had to do a lil grayscale image for a card game, hopefully it’s good enough. Tons of crap I don't like about it, might go back and fix it and upload it again.

Not sure if this guy is totally done, looks really unfinished but I’m not smart enough to push it any further. Probably could if I tried a bit more..... Maybe ill go back and work on it some more.

might have just enough paintings put into a portfolio, not sure though some of my older stuff are a little painful to look at haha.

Just finished my first freelance gig this week! it was pretty cool. Forced me to really get something done, now I can put this sucker straight into the portfolio.

I’m still doing studies and all that as well as working on more portfolio pieces. Should be able to update again pretty soon with that stuff.

Finished an illustration, feel like this painting was a bit of a break through, starting to try and implement a lot of my studies into my original work and it seems to be working pretty well. Anyways tons of stuff to improve on so ill be back a little bit later with some more work hopefully! Got to keep getting better!!
