Christine’s Journal

I’ve made a new montage video of the saved stages of the red haired portrait study available to view.

Elf face study in Corel Painter

Wanted a finished yet sketchy look.
All done with my custom brushes, mostly the pencil, course water brush and dry media brushes.

I’ve uploaded the revised custom brush set for Corel Painter. I made a few modifications to some of the brushes and I’ve added a pencil set. I also organized the different brush types into sets to make it easier to use in Painter.

Custom brush set for October 2008

I’ll be going away for the weekend, but please let me know what you think of the brushes if you have a second.

I’ve been working out how to order my brushes into sets over the weekend, and I have made some pencil ones as well. I still need to test them all a bit more, but I will be putting them up sometime later this week.

I’m useless as blog titles.

This is a study I’ve done today. It’s not really anything I want to finish yet, I’m not sure what it is really. I took some inspiration from a pose in one of Mucha’s illustrations, then just made the rest up.

I’ve uploaded some of my custom brushes to the Resource section : Christines Custom Brushes.

These are made in Corel Painter IX.5. They may work for earlier or later versions but I can not guarantee it.

Hope you find them useful.
