Another Self Portrait

[Kyle D]

Here's another self portrait that I did last winter. It was done using oils. ArtRage really is my favorite digital painting program. I love the natural and organic feel and look that it produces. I haven't been able to use ArtRage much lately since I've been busy with my animations, and I've also been messing around with another great program called Manga Studio 5. I also try to paint on a real canvas as much as I can. The world of digital art is a wonderful and powerful thing, but I still get a bit more thrill out of picking up a real paint brush and getting paint everywhere. And I can sell artwork on a canvas - I can only sell prints of digital art. ArtRage is definitely my go-to program for digital painting, and I would love to incorporate it into my animations. I plan to start using ArtRage to draw the backgrounds in some upcoming animation projects.
