Donato Giancola







Because he's amazing, and one of my main artistic inspirations for this module. His style is very similar to what I want to be able to achieve; slick and detailed, but still painterly, which I like.

I don't know the names of the images.

Large Group Images






A small group of images all either featuring large groups of people and/or that function as wraparound book jackets. One of the things I wanted to do for final major was at least one painting of a large group composition, since I usually only paint single figures or small groups. The images by Karl Kopinski and Donato giancola have been particularly inspiring.
