"The Russian Bear" Oleg Taktarov pastel 5x7"
see all of my mma artwork at www.bradutterstrom.com
brad was the original MMA artist and still is the best! TTT
I like how the pastel drawings 'come to life' if looked at from an angle:
Damn...I think it's the eyes. You somehow manage to capture them very well and it's what makes them look alive. Excellent work as usual.
Thanks...most artists would agree that the eyes are the most important and interesting part of a portrait
Always impressed!
VERY COOL!
I really like this one..
it amazes me how many people are doing MMA art these days! There's actually quite a few of us. And it seems each artist has something specific that makes their style unique.
Great work as always Brad, love the color choices.
Thanks...the Bonnar I did recently is what gave me the idea to go with this yellowish highlight look. I used the same blue for darks as I did with the Bonnar, but with that one I used a much cooler blue for the highlights. I actually wanted warm highlights, but I liked the way that one turned out, so I didn't change it. But made a mental note to try the yellow highlights with blue-green shadows for this one. Reminds me a little bit of the Hulk.
Badass!
Awesome work bradu!
