Mike Tyson - Progress

Roy Wood - Progress

Pixel Panels - One

Jon Jones - Finish

Good progress on the left side, managed to bring some texture out on the temple and cheek bone.

30cm x 45cm / wood / acrylics

Really got to look into getting a little more patient on these pieces, some elements worked, others could've worked with just a little more time.

Girl portrait 3 - Finish

Decided to curb the deadline on this piece, but pleased with the different stroke effects.

30cm x 45cm / wood / acrylics

Girl portrait 3 - draft

Tetris panels - draft two

Pepper one

Block one

Happy to get back into these. time to get back into a bit of colour experimentation.

Also finally managed to settle on a signature..

Kid Dynamite

Much love to Iron Mike. Working on an A1 piece seemed the only way to go about it.

Something that I'd realised whilst working on the last piece for the Sekaido competition was how lacking in experience I am when it comes to large scale pieces.. Making sure to have at least one large scale painting on the go from now on..

Segments

As simple as it is, i've always wanted to do some work in panels. Living in Japan makes carry large pieces around a hassle. Having A4 boards means I'll be able to work away from home.

Segments too lends itself more to the pixelated, bitty, miss mash drawings I'm beginning to feel more comfortable with too.

Sekaido - day 2

Not a huge leap but getting that initial perspective is always rough.

 

 

Using a guideline would be much simpler but I'm not looking for geometrically accurate drawings (cos where's the fun in that?).

 

Working outwards should be plain sailing from here but I really gotto get those paints down.

Sketches

Thanks to a national holiday here in Japan managed to get a few more hours of sketching down.

Hoping to get these acryld up by the end of the week..
