This is a portrait of my son, commissioned by my mother-in-law. I wanted to put him in a kind of fantasy environment, the wood of Northern Sweden where he's born, and dressed as our little, half-mediterranian "emperor" of our house :).

I must learn how to manage to get the .jpeg file as detailed as the original .psd, the final cropped jpeg alway look so muddy.


All painted in Photoshop.

thank you, you're very kind!
At least, must say it took for sure many many hours to paint this :)

Mood: Sadness ~Morgainelefee Aug 3, 2011  Hobbyist Digital Artist
something I surely can say is that i took pictures of many references: the child, the frog, flowers and so on.
For child's anatomy and resemblance, I sketched first him with pencil on paper, and, when I was satisfied, I scanned it to PS and then coloring him. This because I think it's easier to sketch by hand than with a stylus.
Then I think real proffs can paint directly even without refs, but I'm not that skilled :(

You're an artist! :) I feel it difficult to draw, but I feel worse when I have to do the hair and small details: (

just draw and draw!
About hair, i found incredibly useful Linda Bergkvist's tutorials. Unfortunately her site has been hacked, but I suppose there are other good tutorials even here on DA.

Did you try to use .png?

I love the scenery of this - The frog-mount, the lake, the little magician playing with the dragonfly =D The colours are very impressive, almost fantastic! a little pun here ^__^
