sketches

More emulations and studies

I think (hope) I'm getting better. some are more successful than others.

another portrait

Another painting.  This one took longer (about an hour) because I couldn't get it to look right, and is a much less successful likeness.  So I am cutting my losses, swallowing my pride and posting it anyway.  I still enjoyed parts of it.

portait

I will be painting more.  I would love to be better at faces.

This was supposed to be a page of portrait sketches, but I liked the way the first sketch turned out, so I painted it.  Now it is a 30ish min speed paint.

I have the same goal of a page tomorrow.  But maybe we'll get a new. 

warm up

I am not as thrilled with this as I want to be, but Im ok with that.  I'm gonna try to do a lot more warm up drawings this month and they are probably gonna be Justice League oriented.

I am also gonna stay away from Superman for a while.  Maybe Batman or Wonder Woman next.

What do you think?

Its been a while since I have posted anything on here and its been a while since I have done a painting.  As such this took entirely too long(it was supposed to be a speed painting.  I really liked the energy in the reference so i decided to try it out.  

Let me know what you think.

A few warm up figure sketches.  They kinda go in order of what took the most time to the least.

I probably spent about an Hour on this one.

Probably 15-20 min

 5-10 min

superheroes

So my dad called me about a month ago and said that he is doing a heroes theme with his homecoming day parade float at the high school that he teaches.  He said that he wants to have superheroes standing behind and saluting actual war heroes from their community.  He then asked if i would like to draw/paint up some superheros that he could put on cardboard cut outs for their float.  I was pretty excited about the invite.

Here is an initial sketch idea for what i am going to do.  The Superheroes will be life size so there is a lot of work to do on them still  but i am pretty excited about it.  I will also either add one more Justice League member, or take out Spiderman from the avengers, just to make an equal number on both sides.

What do you think?

Here is a painting I did last night.  It took me 3-4 hours and its the first time I have done a full on digital painting like this for years now, so I am a bit rusty.

It is the creature from my short film "Bedtime" and aside from being too dark  it may be how he looks in the film. I will have to do more tests to be sure.

The line art and actual design of the creature was done by Josh Cotton.

If anyone follows this blog, I would love to know what you think.

I will be doing a painting of the two other characters in the film as well as the environment soon.  Then I will be ready to try and recruit help in getting it finished.  If you are interested, let me know.

quick morning warm up sketch, about a half hour.

Storyboard Panal

I did some boards for our Senior film "butchered meats".
All of the boards that everybody did are being redone by the director to have a more consistent feel, but i just liked the way this one turned out.
