Embrace

A piece I doodled up back in '03 when I first started using Painter and digital painting/drawing in general. Back then it was unfathomable to me how people were able to draw, let alone paint, using Photoshop... times certainly have changed my point of view. Now it's the other way around, I find it harder working with Painter especially since each version seems to always feel different than the one before it.

I'm still a big fan of the Angelic/Demonic theme, I think for awhile that was all i was sketching back then. I tend to also always draw from memory and never from reference so anatomy and proportions are usually out the window. Even now I still rarely look at references when I work, which I need to change...old habits, bad habits.
