Tender image, interesting perspective & lighting, & what a story of its loss & recovery! I once discovered a hole in my coat pocket… when I investigated I found all sorts of things had slipped into the hem of the coat unbeknownst to me, including Valentine’s candy from the year before! That hole must have been growing for some time!

Hi Tina,

Thanks for the comment on my IF: ‘Repair’ piece.

So glad you commented as it lead me to your site and so I’ve just been having a nosey around your site and love your work, especially this piece ‘hugging’ (love the lighting and the style) and your portrait tutorials are excellent too.

Look forward to visiting back in the future.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Great work, I really like the atmosphere and lighting. Also I like your web page with the little skeletons. I think I have to come back for those how to draw a face tutorials :)

Thanks for your comment on my IF: repair!

This is really wonderful. Love the mood, the lighting, the perspective and the subject is very sweet. So do you paint in Photoshop? You do such a fantastic job!

I have so many similar stories about losing things in my ginormous purse, it isn’t even funny anymore. So I can very much relate. So glad you found it, I know how it can be to have to start over.

Thankies thankies!

I only paint digitally now because of the speed and ease of the medium, it’s very forgiving, and easiest to send to clients or the printer when it’s done. I use a Wacom tablet so that the motions are similar to using a brush or pencil.

Purses shouldn’t eat things!

Great style! I really like the way you exaggerate perspective. Perfectly rendered and well worth all the time you put into it. Awesome work.
