I have this old frame and one of my paintings that I did at a Sunday art jam. So a bit of paint and some weathering effects on the frame , made the perfect picture frame for this picture . Now I need to hang this damn thing on the wall and not balance it on my turntable.

I am currently working up a poster for Benane Metalik , I am trying something different this time, instead of doing a detailed drawing and scanning it in , I decided to do a tonal painting first and use that as the basis of the poster to then work it up in photoshop, this way I can capture some of the painterly effects hopefully , well lets see how it progresses.

I have started painting up some monster portraits when I get a chance here and there. They are painted on A3 gesso primed artboards. The final product will be a mixed media of paint and silkscreen.

So this is the final artwork , ready to go to be silkscreen.
This is the stages to creating the artwork.
Pencil art
Pencil art is scanned into photoshop the blue lines removed by doing level adjustments , I then also add my additional text and make sure the image remains balanced and nothing is out of place.
First pass colour work , this is done mainly as flat colors, I drew inspiration from old comic books for their vibrant use of colour, I wanted this poster to pop. After I had got all the basic colour work in and was satisfied I then duplicated my original cleaned up pencil art and added it as a multiply layer to darken the lines and to bring the image back to looking like a panel from a comic book.
Then last bit of work was straight forward coloring and final adjustments. JOB DONE!

This is how I created the logo on the jungle girl poster. I roughly sketched/traced it onto tracing paper and using pigment pens and ink and brush I created the logo. I scanned it in separate and combined the logo and the final pencil artwork in photoshop , then proceeded to do all the colour work.
