I started what I'm hoping to make a new series called Office Characters. I feel like there are certain "characters" that appear in every office, the gossipy in-the-know people, the too-perky-for-Monday people, people who like to play games and pull pranks, the NEED-coffee types, health food nuts, etc. etc., so since I work in an office (and enjoy watching re-runs of The Office), I thought this would be a fun series.
I decided to start with "Gossip" because I thought it would lend itself to characters with interesting gestures and facial expressions. This painting is digital, painted in Photoshop.
This was really fun to paint so I'm hoping to do a few more in the near future. I found some brush stroke settings that make the tablet act MUCH more like a real pencil or paint brush and it made the results much closer to what I was looking for. I'm hoping that will help speed up my process so I can get more of these done and hopefully some Irish dance paintings too.
That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by!
