This is the portrait of a my beautiful friend Vilma. I made this painting in obout 16 hours and i used just simple tools as brush, smudge, burn and dodge (all with the airbrush sotf round in diferents sizes). At first i took a few pictures (Vilma is very photogenic, i can tell you). As allways i used photoshop and a wacom pen tablet to do it.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:42:22 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/815061

This is the caricature of Barack Obama, President of USA, and now, Nobel Peace 2009. I tried to highlight is big smile, wich i think is ear to ear. And now with the Nobel maby he has the bigest smile: 360º. Hope you like it.]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:28:22 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/799085

Hi! This painting took me too mutch time. Lots of work. At the beginning i thought it would be a nice painting, but in the end i really don't like it. So i gave up. But i put this stuff in my galery anyway. Any comment, any suggestion, any criticism are wellcome. I think next time i will do it better. We could say that it was a very interesting exercise. Thanks.]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:31:37 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/789580

This is a caricature of Joao Jardim, president of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal. He is a very controversial guy. He is also a very funny guy. I drew him with four eyes. it is a metaphor. Some times he says silly and dubious things and stuff like that. So people are very confused about him.
In this painting i used basically this tools: brush, smudge, burn and dodge.]]> Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:46:00 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/768184

I made this caricature in about 14 hours. For instance, i created de cross and the necklace with un only sphere (first i drew one, and then copy, paste, distort, warp, copy, paste, and so on). I drew this Pope — Bento XVI — like he was a goblin, becouse he reminds me this creatures. And you know what? Maby i'll make a new version in green. I hope you like it.]]> Wed, 27 May 2009 12:52:52 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/767552

Caricature of Lou Reed, a great american musician. All art work was made once again with the Wacon Intuos 3 pen tablet and Photoshop CS3. I tried to highligth his low profile (that's waht i think he is). His big eyes looking at us are showing us his soul, witch is very peaceful, like velvet... underground. :-)]]> Mon, 25 May 2009 19:58:28 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/756905

This caricature of José Saramago (Nobel Prize in Literature) is one of my favorites. It's inspired on one of his greatest books, "Stone Raft", and it was made in Photoshop only with the mouse. I had to create a lot of layers – every detail is, lets say, independent: each eye, nose, mouth, ears, face, neck and so one...
This caricature was the cover of the portuguese version of Advanced Photoshop's magazine.]]> Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:35:44 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/720197

This is my second painting made in Photoshop and with the pen tablet Wacom Intuos 3 A5 Wide. This time i used more layers. This way i can work one object independently without affect the others. and i think that it looks a little beat more like a 3D image. Well, i'm not sure...]]> Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:32:32 +0000 http://pabloarau.cgsociety.org/gallery/720192
