Selma

Painted with a DeviantArt Stock image for reference. Using a Wacom tablet with combination of Corel Painter X and Photoshop CS. It took me about 3 or 4 hours to complete which is fairly quick.

It looks a bit more photographic than I intended, I was originally going for a more painterly look, but it's easy to get carried away and continue adding detail.

I have attached a close-up here for anyone who might be interested in seeing the brush strokes. You can also click on the main image for a slightly bigger version.

Behind These Green Eyes

This portrait was done from a stock image. I wanted this one to have a hint of caricature style about it, so I slightly over exaggerated the features.
I used the Acrylic Brushes in Corel Painter X and Photoshop CS used for this one.

You can purchase this as a print from my DeviantArt Prints Account, along with some of the other works featured here.

I usually only paint female portraits, but this was the first serious attempt I made at digital painting. It was done in Corel Painter using mostly the Oil Bristle Brushes.
