Blowy

Been wanting to get this done for a while now, just can't find time to apply the darker tones.

A little out of perspective but really just trying to get back into paint mode after a 6 week break.

Sekaido Sketching - Ideas

3d pixel deterioration. Just some preliminary ideas.

Deteriorating visuals like this should be easy, but I've been struggling a bit.

Undercomplication is where I'm at currently, knowing that complex isn't really my forte - looking to experiment a little more before going to board.

Tones

Wanted to go as rough as possible for this piece. 

The parts that give description to the features always get my attention - in this case the hair.

Once the appealing parts are covered I generally blaze through the rest leaving a bit of a monstrosity.

11pm

It's 11 at night but had to get this piece down.

Moving from geometric shapes to the human form - it's easy to get locked down into a phase but I'm hoping the next piece will bridge the two.

Sketch came out ok so that's always a good omen.

Speed Acrylics

Not happy with the actual result, but the main thing is to learn and take forward. originally I was thinking the composition with the sketch wasn't too bad.

Looking back, the eyes could've been better. Symmetry is once again the monkey in my soup.

Shiva

2 hour portrait sketch.

Really love the cheek bone definition on this painting. Using a light acrylic and layering from light to dark seems to be working for me.

The underlaying texture and natural pattern of the wood underneath the painting are perfect for skin tones.

During lunch

Working within deadlines helps to keep momentum. This one took just over an hour.
