What's Old Is New Again: Claire Redfield

"Claire Redfield Pinup"

Sometimes (or perhaps many times is a better phrase) an artist creates something that he feels is good at the time, but later on realizes it could be better.  This picture at the right is one such example.  Simply titled Claire Redfield Pinup, this is one of my early works from 2004.  It's not a great picture by any means, but I liked it when I made it 8 years ago.  However, the time has come to do this concept again with a fresh vision.  I abandoned my idea of digitally redrawing some of my old pictures.  Though the Wacom Intuos4 tablet is WONDERFUL for painting and coloring, it is AWFUL for doing precision line work.  I'm sure there are some who can draw just fine on a tablet as they do on paper, but I'm not one of those people.  I found that while redrawing my pictures digitally, it was harder, less fun, limiting, and more time consuming than if I had just redrawn the whole image altogether.  Stay tuned!
