Alex Chu of Clazziquai

So I managed to complete the portrait before sunrise today.


Was chatting with a friend about Alex in We Got Married when I got the idea to paint a portrait of Alex.
Dedicated to this friend for the idea XD

Time Taken: Mar 14th 2.00AM - Mar 16th 5.40AM
Painted In: GIMP
Tablet: Genius MousePen i608

Considering that I fooled around quite a lot painting this portrait, I'd say I completed it pretty fast!

Here's the animated GIF image of the painting process;

WIP: Alex Chu of Clazziquai

So I was chatting with a friend on Facebook about the Korean reality variety show We Got Married last night and being a fan of Alex Chu, I thought I'd paint a portrait of him, dedicated to this friend of mine.

This is what I have so far.
Just a basic sketch with some some shadows.
I have just started working on his hair, which I usually do before getting on the details on the face.

The bar on the right is what I always use as my palette for quick picking of the different shades of black/grey/white, but I usuallu end up just using black and white with varying pressures on my tablet pen anyways.

When will this portrait be ready?
I'm not sure myself.
I'll paint it whenever I have the time.

Camui Gackt of Malice Mizer

Portrait of J-Pop singer Gackt, which took a few weeks since I didn't have much time to spend on it due to having a part-time job.

Time Taken: 21st Feb (1am) - 7th Mar (6am)
Painted In: GIMP
Tablet: Genius MousePen i608

This piece is a lot tougher than the portrait of Mike Shinoda, especially due to the fact that it's my first time painting detailed hair and eyes.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park

My first ever celebrity portrait painting since I bought my Genius tablet, and I've been addicted to portrait painting ever since then.

I will try to paint at least one celebrity portrait every month.
