Drawing Hand Poses by Robert Marzullo

Here are some more hand studies.  I constantly have to revisit this subject matter because of the sheer complexity of the hands.  They can create so many various shapes and expressions.  My comic work always lacks some of the dynamic hand poses that I want to accomplish one day so this is how I slowly get there.  This was from looking at various photos and drawing them in my own style but the goal is to be able to draw hands without looking at any reference at all.  So persistence is key and lots and lots of practice.  I will be adding more body parts real soon along with more body poses.

These were drawn digitally on a Wacom Cintiq and I spent roughly 3 -5 minutes per pose.  Let me know what else you would like to see in the future and I will be sure to add it to the list. Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Digitally Painting a Portrait of Megan Fox by Robert A. Marzullo

So here is my latest speed painting video of the beautiful Megan Fox.  This is another one of my studies and you probably know me by now, I like to share my work.  So here it is.  And this has also allowed me to interact with a few viewers that expressed wanting to know how I go about doing a portrait.  It hasn't occurred to me until now that I haven't really done that topic on my channel.  Duh!  Portraits are so widely appreciated that it makes perfect sense to go over that subject.  Now I will be honest and say that I don't often nail the portrait as you can probably see here with my version of Megan but I will share my humble approach to this type of work and you can take from it what you will.  And I would never allow the fact that I don't always hit the nail on the head to stop me from building a house.  That flipping house is getting built! Crooked nails and all! ;)

So keep a look out for my portrait tutorials real soon.  I will probably start with the mapping of the facial features which is the hardest part in my opinion and then we will go over value studies and working up forms, then adding textures.  You know, all that fun stuff!

Thanks for watching and more on the way real soon!

Deadpool Digital Painting by Robert Marzullo

Here is a digital painting I just finished of Deadpool that I created in Manga Studio 5.  My new best friend in digital painting.  Mainly because of the smooth watercolor brush and the fact that it resembles Photoshop, but I can pencil and ink it much quicker.  Anyways, I felt compelled to do another Deadpool painting and this one was a mix of studying some screen shots and adding a touch of my own style.  ( Another way for me to say my mistakes. :)  I had fun with this one and I am really enjoying the speed of digital painting.  This one took me 2 hours to complete and although I could have taken it much further there is something nice about getting a painting done and being able to move on to something else in a relatively short amount of time.  Plus it seems like when I spend days on a painting laboring over every detail no one seems to know the difference.  That might be a problem of my subject matter so I will take the blame on that one.

Well, on to the next one.  I have a commission coming up and that should be fun as well.  It is a Deadpool Hulk fight scene so I will post that when it is finished or some work in progress shots.

Thanks for taking the time to view the work and read my ramblings. ;)
