Art Update: Couple's Painting...

Still working on it.

Art Update: Smudgey Face Couple

Getting somewhere...

Art Update: "Couple" (more progress)

^-^

I UPDATED! No really, I want to, but for some reason I can't gather the words to do so, even though its "safer just to write my whole life down". har har

Art Update: Moor

Amanderz Painting: More Revisions

It's got an overpainting on it so it's not tidy, but I'm not sure how I feel about the progression from the original face. It looks more like her, but on the other hand the original underpainting captured something I think I kinda lost (or let slip). That will happen with any original sketch/underpainting, but still... meh.

I'll ask her about it.

Art Update: More on the Amanderz Painting

So something happened to Brent that made him look like George Lopez. I guess I shouldn't have bothered to work on Brent until I got the concept down (will note that next time). I tend to paint and make things up as a go along. It's not a very good habit of mine, but it works. I did similar with the Bessy painting (kitty painting), but in that one I had a full feeling and I just had to intuitively put it on canvas. I guess that's one way to work.

I've done a lot of sketching, and I need to get those up here. I'm thinking of scanning my sketchbooks (no matter how horrible and good they are) into PDF format and putting them up here. Why? Because even for me, it's kinda nice to go back and see what I've been doing. I need to buy another one, because I just filled up my other small one. I need to ask a friend where she got a sketchbook in Japan, because I fell in love with it's paper. I can't find any bound sketchbooks that have like that paper quality, but it's not quite as thick? It's a smooth smooth surface. I guess it's kinda like Bristol paper for pen work. But you know, I don't know, because I've never used Bristol but as far as I'm aware, that's the difference.

Art Update: "Amanderz"

Would love to work more on this, but I have so much school work >< Here is some of the progress, fixed the face. I think Brent is too dark. I don't want him to look too animated.

Art Update: "Amanda and the Brent Dwarf" (In Progress)

Is it me or was Brent looking like a Wii Mii for a minute there?

Art Update: "Frank and M1 Garand"

If you read my blog, you know this painting was started a while back. The face has problems, but I adore the composition

Late night sketching

It's so good to have an opportunity to paint again. Time is rare these days. I need a new blending brush before I can get back to oils!

Painting: Morning Cat (I think that's what I named it)

I am late on my updates will be very good, but this is a good one I promise. The only two people subscribed to my blog will probably appreciate it this the most.

I have updated my photostream on my Flickr with most of the recent most current stuff. I had to hide the EXIF data though, Sorry! Don't want to give away people's addresses (as well as my own)

This started off using mostly Umber, so it looked really cool. I like how it came out towards the end. Of course... photos don't do it justice. I have to wait until it fully dries in order to get an accurate color of it. Done in a la prima, so drying will take a while.








She was happy until she got her hand in the paint and I had to use dish washing liquid to get it out... :( Whoops.
