Digital Painting Exercise

Yep, yet another attempt to emulate the awesomeness of real painting using only a tablet and photoshop. This time I was influenced by some awesome English artists, like Simon Bisley and Jim Murray. I didn't try to copy the way they draw figures (which is awesome) I jsut tried to emulate the awesome painterly look of their art. This is only a first attempt, but I learned a lot. I'm pretty sure they paint "up" from a dark base, then add highlights, then try to push the value back a little. I really like the light spatter of colors that get thrown onto really dark areas to "haze" them up a little. I also, had to use a bunch of color theory to know what color to spatter where. I'm going to try a few more and post em up here.
