Alexander Stubb - sporty politician

Here's another piece with a technique I've been playing around recently. This time I managed to skip soccer figures and instead portrayed Alexander Stubb, the new prime minister of Finland. If being fit makes a good politician we shouldn't worry a bit. Alexander is famous of exercising like a professional athlete.

Luis Suarez - from Transylvania (?)

How about some garlic Mr Suarez?

Wayne Rooney finally scored in World Cup 2014

Some soccer again... Being - without a doubt - a great player, it has been almost like a bad luck spell that Wayne Rooney hasn't scored a single goal in World Cup Finals... until a couple of days ago against Uruguay. Unfortunately there's not going to be a lot of chances for more in this WC as England didn't make it to the second round.

Rooney's robust character is very tasty for a player portrait.

... and some close ups.

Zlatan - the real king of Sweden

While waiting today's World Cup 2014 matches I practiced a little bit of my Photoshop skills. It's not that there weren't enough of great players kicking a "brazuca", but still... it would have been so nice to see the magical Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the other superstars. I'm sorry Carl XVI Gustaf, but Zlatan is then real king of Sweden. Too bad they didn't make it to the games.

Here are some close ups.

Viking and a raven

During the previous months I've been so fascinated drawing with iPad/ProCreate app that I have done only very little with Mac/Photoshop... until my previous post. Now I continued experimenting things on Photoshop. I guess I was after some sort of a painterly kind of collage technique. Anyway, I ended up combining both drawn elements with details from photos. Here's a viking for Sketch Dailies.

Soccer time

FIFA World Cup 2014 started yesterday in Brazil. A little bit of honey for all the soccer lovers for a month or so. I may not be the biggest fan, but gonna watch some games for sure. Today I had some time to play around with Photoshop and surprisingly ended up doing some soccer figures.
