Painting angel statues sure is fun.  (The hard part is not blinking...)

Red Scarf (11)

Another speedpaint! I am excited about being able to do these things again. Now that school is done I have more time for speed painting!

Did this one in my sketchbook...

...with my pocket watercolor set.

First "speed paint" I have ever done.  Original is from Andreas Rocha.  It took about 40 min (oops) but it was fun to do.  And i learned that I have a LOT more to learn about color and painting.

Gettin some 30 minute paint action today. I've recently been accepted in to the UVU illustration BFA program. I saw some other people post. So I thought I would. Always fun to do these.

Wanted to try out grayscale......

Happy Valley (3-24-13)

Feeling inspired by the new posts!  Here's one of Happy Valley, from Mickey and the Beanstalk. (Myyyyyy what a lovely daaaaaay)

When I went to BYU, it was referred to as "Happy Valley" because everyone there was so darn smiley.  It was a pretty happy place to live :)

oops

I uploaded a piece from my personal art blog here accidentally. I deleted it already. Sorry if I confused any of you!

30 minute Speed paint (Borderlands 2)

                                     

I thought I could paint this whole in 30. Huge mistake. The body took 30 minutes and the guns took another 30 minutes.Had fun non the less.

Trying to focus on value with this one.  I'm please I wasn't as afraid of black in this one as I usually am :)

Piece of a Painting by Daniel Rigdeway Knight

I've been working on an illustration that I want to be overcast so I decided to practice. This is a piece of a painting by Daniel Ridgeway Knight called the Shepherdess.

I tried a bigger piece the other day and failed miserably. This one I mostly focused on the sky and landscape and not so much on the sheep. So don't look at that part. (ha ha I know you just did.) Anyway it looks like I even got the sky too dark. Guess I'm smarter now and maybe I'll get better at pacing myself as I do more of these.

Lady in the Rain

Here's my first go at a speed painting... It turned out better than expected.

1-3-13 (Blue dress detail)

I can see now I made mine too light.  Value has been my continual weakness!  But I'm working at it.

And:  My deepest apologies for being on hiatus for the last few months.  I got a second job at Disney Interactive (yay!) and found out I had a couple of tumors (boo!) and things got shaken up for a while.  But I'm ready for the new year, and will be posting much more regularly now!  Thanks everybody for being a part of this blog.  I...I...I think I love you...

For this one, I used Corel Painter, no layers, sharp chalk(brush), and the papers palette was set on basic paper, scale 105%, contrast 113%, and brightness 51%. I thought it looked cool, like the Finding Nemo colors scripts. I wish I had two monitors :( This would be a lot easier.

A bit rough.  I love the angles in this movie.

2 September 2012 - Yoda

I didn't use any reference to sketch out my Yoda or to do the colors, but this picture is nearly exactly what I had in mind when sketching him.  Sketching took about 20 minutes and painting about another 10-ish.  Total time: 30-ish minutes.  Cheers!
