Note

Trying to paint more on my phone. Getting used to it a little more.



Yikes, this weird texture thing is killing me... 

Galaxy Note

Long story short... Out with the iphone in with the Note.

I've been feeling a little tablet envy, and at the same time vomiting in my mouth a little when i think about carrying around another device.

The Note is a solid middle ground.

Downloaded SketchBook Mobile, and took it for a little test run.

Sketch bookery

So... It's been a while since my last post. But thankfully enough it's because im busy working. In animation... see mom and dad, that whole 'art' thing worked out. For now.

here's a bunch of sketch book doodlings from the past month or two.

I finally got around to watching How to Train Your Dragon. I was very pleased with the art...
I have a feeling that i'll be drawing a lot more Viking/ Roman/ Warrior type characters in the near future, thanks to How to Train Your Dragon, Spartacus, and i'm sure Brave's not going to help.

See, i usually draw Cowboys and junk, but i feel a shift coming. Oh yea, Assassins Creed is also a big influence on this shift. Ezio freaking Auditore.

 And this is the soupy, soggy brainy leftovers after i burn through what ever inspiration i had going.

Quick Studies

One of the best things i could of done for my artistic career is take Quick Studies with Craig Nelson. To make a long story short, what used to take me 8 hours, i can now accomplish in a 20-40 minute session. I learned to make decisions and be confident with my paint and brush.

So here's a sampling of the work i did. I really have more like 45-50 paintings, but all the confidence in the world wont make them ALL good paintings!

Still Life's; ranging from 20-40 mins. Some in class and some were assignments

Landscapes; Mmm, comfort zone. I see my self going out and painting plein air for a looong time. The top one is from photo reference from a trip to Cabo, the middle are on location. A windy location. As the sand plastered to the painting will show...

 Figures; ranging from 20-40 minutes

And this painting was an 8.5 hour painting. 18x24 panel.

And just for fun, a 40min quick study.
