April

No time to paint with the group film due in 2 weeks but been painting this one off and on every couple of days before bed. Feels like somethings missing, but can't place what it is.




and random art dump


quick story boards/concepts

Song of storms

Been listening to the Ocarina of Time sound track, good times, memories, nostalgia, etc
I really like piano renditions of classic tracks, and just piano in general haha.




2 Life painting sessions, I think I'm starting to be able to work the oil to what I wanna do now...sorta haha.


the second session I used a more limited palette and I learned so much doing it, gonna go with this method for now and add more colours as I start to get more comfortable with it.

I scraped the painting over my gym bag by accident so there went all the rendering on the face and body of this one haha.

OH yeah, I'm also looking for a sketchbook that can take watercolours and still is good for fine rendering with pencil at the same time, anyone know of anything that fits the bill? The sketchbooks I have now can take watercolour very nicely but is way too rough for pencil rendering ;_;

one piece ;_;

Oils turned out a little better than acrylics, I think I'm gonna stick with water soluable oils for these sessions now.






maybe paint this sketch, but it's not finished =/

She has a frog balloon

your argument is invalid

September Update

I really like the sith picture, even though it's only a speed paint, something about that composition I really like =/. The dragon layout thing I might work on some more, not motivated to finish it.






These 2 are studies from William Whitaker's paintings, an amazing oil painter, I want to study in his classes ;_;. The 2nd one is traditional oil.

oily update

another oil study, this time from a photo reference( you guys probably have seen this model before, she has like..perfect features... O.O. My block in was too rushed so i kinda messed up the feature placement, so yeah, doesn't look as great.

supposed to be a quick facial study but it turned out to be a 10 hour paint fest over 3 days =/. painting from photo sucks balls, especially photoshopped photos.

need to get jo to teach me glazing QQ

now to find some scrap shiny metal to study O.o

July update

4~ hours
3~h
5h
3h
2h

random shyt, been kinda slacking. Going back to traditional for a while, no more cg for a couple of months i guess. Just pulled out all my oils and shyt this week so =/. So yeah, besides that and I've been doing mostly anatomy stuff, so no point in posting that stuff.

Stuff from portfolio again, I couldn't find any more good life drawings and I don't want to dig through the piles of life drawing from before this summer. I really like the 30 second one. The other one has a ton of mistakes. My character design is really crap, need to practice the cartoon style more.

Man, over the summer I've been doing life drawing with pen+paper to practice instead of the normal stuff, cause I got lazy. I guess I should upload a couple of those too.

Making this picture blog is alot of work =_=
