Important Changes Coming to Nerdkore.Com

judge-alex-black-woman-drawing

As you have noticed there has not been any update here for quite some time. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working! I’ve been really getting back into drawing and even created a blog completely devoted to my drawings at http://jersus.com .  From now on, for  daily blog updates please go to http://jersus.com .  Nerdkore.Com will remain the home for my finished works. But to see my works in progress, collaborate with me via twitter, and download my latest podcasts go to http://jersus.com

The second project I am very excited about is an online painting course which I’m developing at http://painting-course.com . I’m currently working on a DVD set as well as a Book which will include learning the basics of drawing fundamentals, art history, color theory, painting techniques, materials, and idea generation.  The site is getting a major overhaul soon, and I just have the current page up so I can get my podcasts on itunes while the site is constructed. To subscribe to the painting course podcasts click HERE . To stay updated on both the online painting course, and my new sketch blog please follow me at http://twitter.com/kingvitaman or friend me on facebook

Portrait of the Artist as a Older Man

I wanted to make a portrait of myself as older man, since most portraits have a tendency towards giving the sitter a youthful look. In this painting I am aged at around 60.  If you are interested in commissioning a portrait of yourself as an older person please contact me and I can give you the details.  I am also interested in doing couples as older people as well.  For instance this painting was based upon this photo.

I then fed this initial image into aging software. This is software which was developed to age photos of young girls who were kidnapped and have been missing for many years. But it has the possibility to age many different photos. To be honest it doesn’t really work all that well, most of the distinguishing wrinkle lines have to be painted manually.  But it does do some basic  facial shape changing that would otherwise be hard to spot.

The commission portraits will come in two sizes. 40cm by 40cm ( 15.7 in by 15.7 in) for 300$, and 25cm x 25cm (9.8in x 9.8 in) for 200$ . Space is limited. First 5 get em! Use the contact link at the top of the page to email me directly, or buy a space immediately HERE!
