Madison Gregory: Update

So i had a play around with a few photo's last night, found some really good tutorials and mixed up some styles to create these:



This was a panoremic scene i took on my very first morning in iceland at sunrise. I really like this picture and have wanted to do something with it since i took it. The colours have not been tweaked in any way, i have just applied a canvas look and a chunky oil look to it.



This was trying to stick more with the classic look that Madison Gregory achieves. I found my model, Scarlett Johansson in this case and really muted the colours back, blurred out exterior features but focuses closely on the eyes, creating deep contrast and adding exaggerated colour to really lift the piece. Finally i added some loose sketchy lines using my graphics tablet to loosen the style up and move it away from a photographic image. I am really happy with how these have turned out and will be producing many more...I now just have to stop looking at pictures of Scarlett Johansson.



Thanks for looking,

Andy
