Even-though I didn't post in a while, I do read the forums everyday.
Here is one of the few works I completed in Studio Pro. A tribute to the caricature master David Levine, who passed away with the end of 2009.
I hope to post more frequently when AR3 stability get improved with coming patches.

Cute stuff!

Hey that is a great tribute to the giant of caricature masters.
How many caricaturists started out copying his work to learn the ropes ?

I do hope to see more of your work again,as I value your work so high.
But you already knew that.....

Fabulous, great style, wonderful tribute... love your hatching brush.

This is a great tribute and I am glad you have posted this so I get to know this great caricaturist.

A gallery with the work of levine

Wow..thanks Hanzz. That's a HUGE gallery over 2000 pieces of his works. Hope this gallery will stay as long as it can even it takes awhile to load them all. It's worth it.

Thanks for your kind words pals! I'd like to add that The Master was decisive at an early crossroads in my life just by being so a talented artist who's footsteps to go after (there's a tale of this in my linked blog).

Evelyn: "cute" is a word that fits better the beautiful gallery of yours. Your landscapes got the true style of classical Naif paintings. Go ahead with it.

Hans: That's exactly my point! Levine was for me as Sebastian Kruger may have been for you ("hey! THIS is what I want to do!") Am I wrong?. With the time you develop your own style (I tried to attach myself to his' one for this piece) but the connection always remains there.

Along the last years I always knew of your enthusiasm and determination to improve your natural talent. But until your beta testing performance for AR3 I knew of your deep human empathy. Thank you!

Juz: Thank you and thanks to whoever built those two wonderful time-saving crosshatch brushes. I recommend to use the two combined for a more natural effect.

Pai: In the sixties Levine restored the great caricature tradition of the XIX century (with a modern twist) which had been lost from the twenties through the fifties in favor of more synthetic, sometimes geometric, approaches. Enjoy!

Great caricature artwork. I wish I could do this!

Bob already knew your work, having previously visited your blog. Your work is spectacular your critical sense, too. I became your fan. A hug from a friend Oriane Lima.
