Watercolor fun!

Here's my progression from bad to good, using the Don Brandes "puddles!" technique.

Here's a big rock monster guy. Concept art, here I come!

 

First Oil Painting!

Here it is, my first oil. The second one will be uploaded soon, but the composition kinda sucked in my opinion. You decide.

 

Something a little different

Odd assignment. We basically turn a classmate's portrait into a vector then cut it out with an xacto knife. Fun, I guess. Now I can stencil my homie's face all over the city, too.

Illustration

First assignment and I got an A on this bitch. Chyea!

Wish I would've changed a few things, but whatever, I'll feel like that about everything I'll make from now until forever.

 

Fishies

Finished this fookin' cuttlefish! I swear, man, if it wasn't for Star Wars the New Order I'd have gone insane working on this. I may have been getting hand cramps at the drawing board, but my head was on Coruscant fighting the Yuuzhan Vong. I thank the Force for my sanity.

School's in, sucka!

Here's a (unfinished) master painting of Homer's "The Herring Net" minus the herrings. Here's hoping that I have time to finish it.

 

Oil Practice

This is a "finished" oil painting, on plywood. It's finished meaning that I'm not going to touch it again, not that I think it doesn't need a ton more work.

Also, quick tile wall decoration that I made in about 15 minutes. Good Feng Shui.

 

 

 

 

Quick Sketch

It's nothing special, it's only something I felt like sketching when I saw her in a reference book.

 

Sketches

So I haven't done much this last week besides a few doodles. I'm working on finishing an oil painting but I have no idea how to begin...

So I sketched. I quickly painted a few things on a board and wiped them off. Doing this helps me understand the properties of the paint. Hopefully soon I'll have the confidence to take some more oil to my board.

I speak riddles. The time is late o'clock (c).

'Ello, Wizards.

Going on week two of no Facebook. It's rough, man, I'm telling you. There are so many reasons to get back to it versus a single reason to stay away; internet avoidance.

Anyway, here's what I've done since then. I'm working on a composition for an oil painting to be submitted into Illest of Ill, which is the wizard. I FINALLY finished my mom's horse painting. Can't wait to see the look on her face when I give it to her! The most enjoyable part of this week was, by far, having the studio reserved for our Jungle Gardens paintings. This gigantic bird painting (4 foot by 6 foot) was finished in three days.

Long time coming

So I've dropped Facebook recently. It's liberating in a way, but at the same time I'm feel I'm becoming more reclusive by doing it. My initial reasoning was to get rid of all of these fake relationships I had with people and instead talk to people with, you know, voices. The reason slowly turned into a way to get off of the computer and do something productive. It's working, though, since without Facebook or Myspace I spend maybe half the time clacking away on this keyboard.

Anyway, here's my art.

These next few are the block color roughs I did for the precollege program. The bird one is a friggin' huge 4 by 6 feet! I'll be finishing these next week, updates to come.

This one was done as a donation to Habitat for Humanities. Esther, Jeff, Ohenewa, and I painted this in a day. Man, that's efficiency right there.

New Sketchbook Stuff!

So I've been playing with gouache a bit. I'm attempting a Sargent master copy in gouache but I don't think it's coming out.. I'll keep at it, but it's so hard to replicate something in a different medium.

Lemme know what you think!

The long awaited update to my blog is finally here! I've been doing studies over the last few days, along with a few concepts and pre-vis for my secret agent project. The Maya modeling of the Gleinicke Bridge for my concept is coming soon.

Finished a painting.

Took maybe two hours, nothing crazy. It's still rough but I was getting fed up with the watercolor paper so I'm calling it finished. Next gouache painting I'm going to do it on illustration board.



Let me know how bad I am!

Watercolor fun!

Did some quick things with watercolor. I have a lot more to learn (everything, considering I've been taught nothing and I've read nothing about it,) but I'm getting the feel of it. I'm more used to acrylics but I'm really digging the ease and portability of watercolors. Any input would be awesome!

McIntosh Mural is finished!

So we're finally done with the mural. At the end, Jeff, Ohenewa, Sishir, Charles, and myself posed for a victory portrait. Man, having that done is such a load off.

Termites - They are insects.

And a horse.

Space and Horse

I call him Horise. A typo of Horace the horsie.

Both to be finished soon.

I Call Him Orson

Oh Welles.

And I'm getting paid for this.
