Face Studies – Mirror Mode and Wildstar Inspiration


These face sketches started as a playful experiment with the mirror painting mode in Corel Painter 12. I used the Real 2B Pencil Brush, which does a great job mimicking traditional pencil—especially when tilting the stylus for broader, bolder strokes.


The second common thread in these studies—particularly the last three—is their inspiration from Wildstar, the unreleased MMO developed by Carbine Studios and published by NCSoft.


Its bold, stylized character design and expressive shapes make it a great source of visual energy, even in quick sketch form. Fun to explore, and a good exercise to push structure and form.
