If there was a board for digital art artists, James Doane would be in the top ten. Can classified his art in figurative or portraitist. However, the special characteristic of his art is that he doesnt do the details, smoothness, fine skin to draw the portrait. In fact, James Doane drew everything with large size of brushes, thick colour and loose rough strokes.

What James Doane did, cannot put into the beautiful group, because there is nothing he drew is beautiful. If there must is a word for it, then it would be wonderful. There is no doubt that James Doane is a master in concept art. He is obviously a master in portrait. However, he also is a magician. Many artists can do painterly, but no one can do the way he did. It is James Doane, the one and only, the magician.
