My involuntary month long abstinence from drawing caused some kind of artist block. So I sat myself down and painted. Happy with the result. #portrait #art #digitalart #digitalpainting

Muscle. Rebelle 8 is out. It is amazing how realistic it simulates traditional media. It is really like painting with oils or aquarel. But sadly I can't get my footing. It doesn't give me the amount of control I like. Still happy with this one and the "This is Sparta!" vibe it has.

Rage. Sometimes you have a drawing that goes so smooth it's like it draws itself. No struggle, just fun.

Lips like cherries. Skin texture is a challenge for me so I was apprehensive to tackle this one. Happy with the result. #artshare #art #digitalart #realism #hyperrealism

Tears. (Face 160). Subjects for portraits are usually good looking people trying to look even better. So for a change of pace....#artshare #art #digitalart #myart #clipstudiopaintpro

Face 158. I don't usually do things in black/white or monochrome but sometimes you need to expand your comfort zone.
