Head Practice

I painted some heads for a bit of practice. Just quick things looking at the colors other artists use and there approach to stylizing a head.

Silver Birches

I took the Sketchbook out for a wander today.

Magpie WIP

I really like magpies, so I decided to give painting a magpie a go. Unfortunately, I didn't realise how difficult it'd be for me to work with only blacks and greys (well, with other some other colours too but still). I'm thinking of leaving this as a WIP and trying to work on other pieces instead, and come back to this sometime. Wait a bit, Maggie!

Middle of process.  Too scared to stick in scanner so crappy photograph sorry.  It's fanart!

Old lady Development

An in-development painting of an old lady making her way through a mushroom forest. The yellow scribbles around her will be little fairy's pulling silly faces. Might not get back to this one though, as I have a commission to do up over the next week.

Community Commission #4 - Super Smash Turtles Brawl!

"Draw the Neon Turtles in a Super Smash Brawl!"

The latest free Community Commission. This time I stepped up to the plate, and here we are!
Super Smash Bros. was hands-down one of my all time favourite game series growing up, so this was a lot of fun to do.

Featuring Johannes as Link, Jed as Captain Falcon(?), Channelle as Pikachu, Mai as Marth and Tom as Lucas.

Tuesdayyy Chansday

Many years ago I scrapped together a roughly coloured original character thing. I felt like redo-ing it recently, just for fun, so bam! Here!

Again, roughly coloured (heck, even MORE roughly coloured than the original), because hey, I have work tomorrow and lots of planning to do first! Urgh I don't want to tell you how many years ago I made the top one. Let's just say it was a long time ago. There's not enough improvement considering how much time has passed, but there is undeniable improvement, and I could justify myself all day but I'll leave it at this - I didn't choose the drawing career path. I chose to keep it as a hobby, and something I only do when I feel like it. 

Gotta jet, humans. Planning for school time!

PS. Guess who moved into my flat yesterday! He's gonna unintentionally make me draw more. D: Ahh!

 Pukekos.

 

Wait, I promise I have been working on something to challenge myself.  As saying says, good things take time.

Sketch Compilation

This week I present a compilation of some of my sketches from the past week. This week I haven't done much painting as I have gone back to the old pencil and paper for awhile. The main reason I've done this is that I bought three new art books in the past two weeks, including Figure drawing for all its worth by Andre Loomis, which is a very good book. So I'm looking forward to getting into some serious studies over the next few weeks.

Slly bby gus

Last week's free drawing. A silly, baby goose! Had a bit of help from Johannes, but I diiiid do most of it on my own, promise.

Later, humans!

Snatch Sketches

One of my favourite movies is Snatch. 

Halloween Gathering

Halloween has recently passed us and in the spirit of it all I decided to paint something a little more Halloween focused. I decided to focus on the fun trick or treating side of Halloween and instead of painting real monsters I decided to do people in costume. Unfortunately I'ts still not finished yet, I had planned to finish it off tonight but unfortunately I'm feeling a little sick, so this will have to do for now. Hopefully though I will slowly finish this off though over the next week.
