UPDATE of DOOM

I haven't put anything new up on here in a while, so here goes:


An alla prima portrait study, oils on canvas 8x10


"Elon" - acrylics on canvas, 10x8 (for my friend Cuca!)


A digital experiment - the value study first...


Then the rough colors, using multiply and overlay layer modes...


...And finishing it up, tightening and changing a few things. Still messing around with this technique.

I've been flipping between digital and traditional quite a bit. Trying to tighten up the skills on... well, everything :)

Can't wait for classes to start up again at TAD!

"Amber" final

"Amber" - wacom and photoshop (Available as an 8"x12" print.)

Calling this one done for now. Thanks for the feedback on this one, everyone. Next!

"Amber"

A fun little pin-up exercise I'm calling "Amber" (for now) :



She's available in 8x12 print, if you're interested :)

another self portrait

Another Corel Painter 11 effort, with a more subdued palette.

International Self Portrait Day 2010

Here's my stylized self portrait for International Self Portrait Day! I can't believe I've done this for the past 3 years... pretty cool! Had some fun with Corel Painter 11 for this :)

updateeee

Thought I'd throw in some recent work - all the TADsters are working our tails off. Hard to believe we are just half way through our first term!





This is my cast and cast drawing station I'll be drawing for the next 2 months. I'm really excited to start tackling my first cast drawing.





And these are some poses from figure class. Messing around with rendering, value control, color, and gesture. I should show a drawing of my first week compared to now...

We've also been messing with Corel Painter 11 in our Media class, and Android Jones has been giving us some amazing info and demos. Kinda cool to be learning that program from one of the best! It was an intimidating program to use - but now I love it. Just had to be shown the ropes :)

More soon!

Zombie Apocalypse and Figure Drawings!

I've been SO BUSY lately!! I participated in the 28DAYS2A Zombie Apocalypse show at the newly re-opened Blackbird Studios (formerly Place Gallery) - and it was amazing! A lot of really gruesome artwork. I also scored a pretty neat "art of the living dead" pin :)

Here are a few in-progress pics of my zombie head piece, whom I affectionately named "Bob" :



This was polymer clay on a wireform armature...


I pre-baked the teeth to make it easier to add them to the scultpure without being squished!


Once it was all done and baked in the oven, I painted it up with layers of acrylic washes.

The Zombie Apocalypse show will be on until the end of October!

Beyond that, I'm still working hard keeping up with school and work - here are a few figure drawings I did recently:





For now, its back to the drawing board :)
