Eyes and Hair... are always last

When I'm drawing a portrait I start with the eyes, they have to be as close as possible to the model; but when I'm coloring, I leave the eyes for last, since they affect my perception of the face, once the eyes go on the likeness is there, and any mistakes I make are going to be more difficult to acknowledge and correct, so I try to get the likeness without the eyes first, so I know the features are right... the hair goes last cause is a lot of repetitive steps and is annoying 🤣🤣

The neck and Heightening

I always work on the neck and face first and then move on to the body, I feel like they have to match since they're next to each other, unlike the chest or the stomach, I'm not super concern to match the further parts of the body, Also a bit of variation on the skin tone makes it look more natural, but the neck has to match or it looks like when you put the wrong head on a doll 😅

Coloring Magnum 2

I tried to keep the mustache simple, since I tend to over render facial hair, and I really like how it looks, I use the same technique with the eyebrows since they're so big. Oh and notice the gray hue in the bottom half of the face, kind of mimicking the 5 o'clock shadow.

Coloring Magnum 1

Mr. Selleck has such an interesting face: dimples, pointy chin, crooked nose, high cheekbones and wide jaw (usually handsome faces have one or the other) round eyes (and pretty) thick lips and thicker facial hair... I thought it was going to be more difficult, but apparently, the more structured the face, the easier is to render.  🙃

As usual I kept the swimsuit in a separate layer that you can turn on and off 😉

Magnum Lines NSFW

Have you noticed that Tom Selleck and Jason Momoa kinda look alike? the eyes and eyebrows especially, and they both have that snarky smile... IDK sometimes when I'm drawing I find these weird similarities 😅😅😅

Magnum Lines

I'm starting to love the way body hair looks in the Line art, makes me wanna push it even further, it always gets a lot more subtle in the colored version. 

Figurine no. 018

Illustration of Jacob Luna Hoxsey wearing some very strategic pants lol, I've always loved his bubble butt and it was very fun to draw, PSD file bellow 👇🏼👇🏼

Magnum PSD file

The fun thing about this file is the 3 different swimsuits in separate layers that you can turn on and off 😅, and a bunch of adjustment layers to get the perfect color balance.

Magnum (Alt Red Swimsuit)

Another thing that I feel is very 90's is the classic Red Speedo, but that's more Baywatch than Magnum... anyways I kept it as an alternative version.

Magnum P.I. Leopard Print

I don't even know why, but it made sense to me to give him a Leopard print bikini 😅😅😅

Was it a 90's thing? I think the trend is coming back so maybe I'll get one lol

Magnum P.I. NSFW

So I wanted to give this illustration a very retro vibe, some of my favorite Adult Magazines have this late 80' s early 90's design, and of course I bulked Mr. Selleck a little but is part of the fantasy, what do you think of the tan? looks retro right?

Magnum P.I.

As a kid I remember watching Magnum P.I. (re-runs) with my mom and she would always comment on how hot Tom Selleck is... honestly, it went over my head for a long time, I didn't see it lol. But recently I've found some old photos and even watch a couple of episodes and damn! it really fueled my imagination, I had to give it a try and practice on the body hair technique. 

As always thank you for your support and I wish you all a lovely day 💜💜💜

JLA assemble

Since I have a long to do list of various characters and portraits, I'm not making the Justice League series all at once, I'll be adding characters very slowly until eventually is completed, if you want to help me decide the next one go vote on this month's poll 😊

Furry Brushes - Photoshop ABR

They supposed to be fur textured brushes but they look more like ostrich feathers to me, I've have used them to paint grass and scrub on some backgrounds, but my favorites are the soft round brushes, I use those all the time, very good for that polished, blended look that I like so much on the skin.... I've gathered them over the years and now I'm passing them to you, use them wisely 😊💜

Männlich PSD

the Final file was very simple, I remember my old PC not being able to handle it, so I had to merge a lot of layers together... And is surprisingly clean, considering that I didn't plan to show it to anyone🤣🤣🤣

Männlich Line art

This version was never published, I think I forgot and then I moved on to other things 😅 well now you get it exclusively 😉

Männlich (Lines)

Looking back, I think the lines are too thin for such a large portrait, it looks nice and polished, but it looses a bit of impact when you look at it from the distance 🤔🤔🤔

Männlich Posts 2018

Just to show off the amount of details I posted this close ups like 3 times 😅 not a lot of people cared,  Männlich  means masculine, this unknown model gives me such a straight dude energy, without been necessarily sexy, this was more of a real study than an erotic work.

Männlich (Throwback doodle)

This throwback is from March 2018, based on the fine work of Russian Photographer Sergey Vofoto, at the time I was obsessed with this type of lighting, it seemed so difficult for me, but eventually I got there, not sure how, but I did lol 😅

fun fact: I spent more time on the hair and beard than anything else.

Arthur Curry With/without Tattoos NSFW

I do like the tattoos, I looove the smooth alternative version wyt?

Making Figurine 017

Sometimes I like how an incomplete drawing looks, not really sure why, but I like it and I save a screenshot for the archives 😜

Coloring Arthur's Skin 2

I really like this pose cause the arms make sense right away, some muscles are not very easy to understand in different positions but this looks right and anatomically correct and surprisingly quick to color.

Coloring Arthur's Skin 1

I think Jason is half Hawaiian so his tan is very golden and has a slight sepia tone to it, unlike Caucasian skin that goes more to the orange/rosie side when tanned; so I kept it very monochromatic until the very end, then I went back and added a few color variations for realism.

Coloring Arthur's Beard

I was happy to add so much details in the Inking step, cause I didn't have to elaborate that much during coloring. Also, I tried to deal with the beard and the hair in the same way or it looks weird, and if I make one too detailed, I have to make the other one match... so I kept it a little simpler than I'm used to. 

Coloring Arthur Curry

I secretly love full beards cause they make coloring the face so much faster, of course coloring all that hair will take way longer than a clean shaved face 😅

Arthur Curry Lines PSD

This illustration relies heavily on the coloring and textures, so the lines are a bit simple and straightforward we have the background, the subject and the tattoos, so is clean and simple 😊

Arthur Curry (Lineart)

Fun fact, the mask in the corners of the background is Tláloc Aztec god of water, cause I love to mix up mythologies 😅😅

The last image shows the cutout of the water effects, first I planned how it would be placed and then added all the color and textures... figuring it out on the way.

Arthur Curry Lines

This cleanup is a little busy, long stringy hair, all over tattoos, full beard, I love inking but this took so long that it was making me nervous lol

Figurine No. 017

Illustration of Garic Soldatov as a Merman! the recurrent elements this month are the Maori tattoos, Big Muscles and handsome Sea men  💪🏼💪🏼🐟🐠🐚💜
