today’s life study

Painting on the laptop is really starting to get addictive…

I find a long session like this combined with a night of gesture drawing is a great weekly art workout.

Hercules #3

I recently  had the opportunity to do a cover for Radical Comic’s  ‘Hercules’ series.  This one should be one the stands soon!

Well, still practicing painting from life.   Here’s the latest effort, 2.5 hours.

speed sketch

felt like I had to sketch something before going to bed…too lazy to develop it further tongiht, but I might come back to this one.

old guy

This guy was fun to paint with all his craggy wrinkles and what not.

2.5 hours.

another life painting – 2.5 hours. 

revisiting an old one…

Every now and then I like to look at old work I’ve done (in this case about 5 years)  and sometimes I get the urge to start messing with things and re-painting. It hit me that this old sketch of a space warrior guy was horribly mediocre…pretty much a total disaster.    I liked the core idea of the image though, so I said screw it and repainted it from scratch.   Below are the old and new versions respectively….

More macbook paintings of various lengths.  Finally starting to feel much more comfortable on the laptop.

black and white sketch

just sketching with 2 values….

Bright and Early Saturday morning….

I reluctantly woke up to go to lifedrawing. Once again I dragged the macbook along for the ride….here are some gestures and the two 45 minute digi-paints I did.
