Joel Chaim Holtzmanさんのイラストまとめ

Here is a selection of portraits from some of the characters I painted throughout the last few years.
I rendered and detailed the faces some more as part of the excersises I am doing lately. Hope you like these!

Portrait study I finished this week.

Since I paint most of my characters full body, I have the goal to get better at understanding key elements of subject a matter closer to the camera (textures, color nuances, intricate shapes, etc).

Hope you like it!

All the best,

JCH

Excellent use of the ''Figura Serpentinata/Serpentine Figurine'', A method to make the characters more dynamic.

Method was popularized by ''The Big Three'' from the Rennaisance (Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael)

Painting I made a while back depicting an Ethiopian warrior priest from the empire of Axum.

Tom Lovell, one of my favourite artists. Love his takes on history.

Painting from 6 years ago, (with some changes) that I did for a mentorship.

Only able to share most of my unreleased freelance work by 2023. I will keep maintaining a varied social media output until then however possible.

Faerie Necromancy, based on Celtic myths and legends.

''Third Value'' By Sam Neilson.

Mastering the midtones:

From experience I can say that this bit of knowledge can bring a piece to the next level. I applied it a bit later in my artistic journey than I wanted, but I am happy I understand it now.

Hope its of use!

Character design I painted developping a concept for a board game a year ago. Details everywhere!

Love this painting by Carl Friedrich Heinrich. The mood and strong shape languages are exceptional.
