Free digital painting video - Bobby Chiu

Here's a new commission I did recently for Sketchbook Pro. I've been kinda selective about jobs recently but I loved doing this one because they let me do anything I wanted! My initial idea for this piece was a dark-ish little girl with a pet creature that she "dolls up" in the way that normal girls might dress up a cat or a puppy.

To see the mini tutorial and interview with Sketchbook Pro please click HERE


I recorded the process of the entire painting and did a time lapse while talking over top of it. This is a video podcast about my experiences as an artist and the lessons I've learned that will hopefully help other artists achieve their goals.

JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE MOVIE>

All for Love!

I'm happy that I can finally share this with everyone, a different job from me . . . this was actually a collaboration of a few artists. I worked with the animation company Nathan Love who have done some amazing commercials, very talented guys. They created a baby-like cupid with no hair or wings and the gun, it was handed to me as a pencil drawing. Another artist painted the background. This was an interesting job because I didn't do any drawing besides the hair and wings . . . my part in this was to paint the cupid and gun so that it felt like and old "Victorian" painting . . . this was a challenging job and was a lot of fun doing something different!

The final billboard hangs in a train station somewhere in Switzerland, 30ft x 100ft . . . . crazy!

Just Swimming Along...and Street Fighter sneek peek!

This is a fun little sketch I did not too long ago.. I needed to do something more peaceful and relaxing---aaahh, I wish I was her right now! I'm planning to turn this into a finished painting.




And also..




Here's a seek peek of my contribution to the "Art of Street Fighter Tribute" book.
This was a very last minute thing and I didn't expect to be in it because of work, but I've grown up with Street Fighter so I couldn't help but do one! Thank you to the guys at Udon Comics!!

Its over 300 pages of kick ass art! And there's a cool art contest too. To find out more info, or to pre-order CLICK HERE.

IMPORTANT MATTER FOR ARTISTS - we must take action today! Do not lose ownership of your art!

Please post this in your blog! Very important.

I read this on Conceptart.org!
IMPORTANT MATTER FOR ARTISTS - we must take action today! Do not lose ownership of your art!

Hi everyone,

The text below will be self-explanatory. There is an important issue facing us as artists, related to the copyrights of our works, which corporations wish to control and take at our expense, We must put a stop to this immediately unless you wish to see others owning and plagiarizing your art.


This is too important to ignore please participate and forward to your others.

House version:

Senate version:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s110-2913
Congress is rushing these bills through to a floor vote. The House will start marking up their version of the bill at 2:00 today; the Senate will do so tomorrow. To try to stop this bill, we first need to slow down the race to get it passed.

We've provided sample letters from individuals representing different sectors of the visual arts.

If you're opposed to the Orphan Works act, this site is yours to use.

For international artists and our colleagues overseas, we've provided a special link, with a sample letter and instructions as to whom to write.


2 minutes is all it takes to write Congress and protect your copyright:

Little Red Dragon

We found this shy little sea dragon observing us from a bank of coral. He was no bigger than my thumb, but one of our explorer friends claimed that, on a dive last year, she'd come across a full grown sea dragon that was the size of three school buses!

Hi everyone,

Here's a new pic Bobby and I did together. This is a study on deep sea photography. It's a cute little sea dragon for our new book "Water Worlds". For pre-orders click ---> [link]

Hope you like it!
