Digital Drawing of Bill from Left4Dead

Another piece based on a game, this drawing is of a character called 'Bill' from the game 'Left 4 Dead'. He's my favorite out of the four human characters you can play as. I've spent many, many hours, more than i'd like to admit (very proud of), playing as this guy so I thought I'd give drawing him a bash. Sadly there's no speed painting of this one as he's on of my early digital drawings and I hadn't quite got the hang of capturing software. 

Digital painting of a Night Hunter from Dying Light

I've recently bought the game 'Dying Light' which is a zombie horror survival game for those of you who font know. I thought it would be great to draw from and also an interesting image to record and add to my small collection of speed paintings on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgiaHBates)

Breaking Bad

 A few months ago I drew these two sketches of Walter and Jess from my favourite show 'Breaking Bad'. Walter was a much more interesting face to draw because of his aged skin and facial hair.

Got to start somewhere

Well for my first post I'll write about my very first finished digital painting. I've not had much experience with photoshop before other than cropping some images but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Coming from years of drawing with a pencil, drawing with my tablet was pretty easy and I got a handle of it pretty quickly. At the time I had been watching one of my favourite TV shows 'The Walking Dead' and so decided to have a go at drawing the badass that is Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). A lot of people have seemed to gone off him because of the more recent episodes for his crazy, miserable ways but his face just looks so.. drawable.
So here is my attempt at digital painting which roughly took about seven 7 hours altogether. (I'm a slow worker)

The only thing I'm not really so happy about are his eyes but the beautiful thing about photoshop is that you can just go back and redo parts so easily which I'm sure you know (if you draw that is) when you finish a picture you'll come away really pleased to then come back to it a few days later and it will have suddenly grown 2 noses. Anyways next I think I'll try and make it look more realistic, I have a very scribbley shading habit when I draw with pencil so drawing like this just came natural, but I won't stop drawing in this style, I love it.
