This artist who works primarily with digital concept art appeared on my facebook these days and I thought his blog deserved a mention, not only for the arts that are very beautiful, but because it shows well his study process.
There is some "finalized" arts below and others that are a series of construction processes. Something very interesting to see are the two "gifs" that has overlapping the main steps of his digital painting, giving a good notion of how he works.
People who paints with tradicional media (oil, acrilycs, gouache, pastel) will realize that his process in digital is very similar to traditional painting, so that the result is not all perfect sharp shape, cute but something that actually looks like a painting.
I will comment on some of the processes below and you can see more content here, on his blog.
This sequence below is a digital reproduce of a paint from John Singer Sargent (a classical painter that soon I will comment in this section).
Notice how it starts with a "block" drawing and basic lines to create 3 main plans.
Then he goes through a more general picture, putting the basic colors, giving the master volume without defining too much, all with big digital "brush strokes".
Now he begins to set over, adding details and start finalizing everything.
In this case he let the face to the end. Obviously the effect is not the same as a painting with ink, somewhat resembles the pastel chalk, but it has its charm.
I choose this sequence to show the stylization he does. Note that it is not a "realistic" drawing. The general aspect is more cartoonish (obviously with colours more organic than the traditional painting cartoon). But see (especially in designs that have the original photo on the side, how he gives style retaining much of the sensuality. It still has a drawing style, but captures the feeling of the picture.
