Speed painting 128

Here's another practice painting blending.

Blending Practice 002

Another exercise trying to blend my grayscale and colors better.

Speed painting 123

This started as a speed painting, but I wanted to finish this as much as possible.

Speed painting 121

Been awhile, but I'm glad I got an itch to paint something.

Speed painting 120

Just needed to paint something.

Landscape002

Here's another landscape experiment. This feels a little better than the last.

Speed painting 118

I'm trying to start doing more landscapes. Need to really improve in that area.

Speed painting 117

Finally got a new painting out.

Blending Practice

Haven't really liked the way I've been blending my values. Did this practice to see if I could refine it a little more.

Battle Royale 4

Another BR scene.

Battle Royale 3

Another Battle Royale scene.

Speed Painting 111

Here was a semi-quick painting that I did. I shall be returning to my BR series after this one.

Battle Royale 2

Kicked this out really fast. Had a lot of fun figuring out the flames. Can't wait to improve in that area.

Battle Royale 1

Here's my 1st BR scene. A little rough, but I'm going to try and do more scenes and get tighter with my renderings.

Shields...

Here are 2 of the shields from my portfolio that I worked on this week. Don't worry, Brian, I'm also working on the BR scene that you suggested. ;-)

Portfolio swords

Here are 2 swords from my portfolio pieces. Just so that you know I'm still makin art.

Hair Studies

Been real bad about not putting work up. Busy trying to put my portfolio together. But since this a sketch blog, I decided to put up my recent practices trying to do more realistic hair rendering. Almost there, just have to work out a few more areas.

Shinkawa studies...

This are a few attempts at imitating Yoji Shinkawa with a wacom tablet

Reflection Practice 008

Here is an extended exercise in doing reflections in PS. This took a long time, but I learned a lot. Yeah!!

Reflection Practice 007

Here's one from my vis com tutoring I'm taking with David Le. He's helping me to render photo real products as well as prepare my portfolio for concept art presentation.

3D Shark

This was from last term where we had to model a shark for the final. Applied textures and lighting in Maya, but did the background and painting in Photoshop.

Speed painting 106

Another 20 min. Trying to do more of the figure in less time rather then just the close-up shots.

Speed painting 105

Here's a 20 min sketch with a little color.

Speed painting 104

Another quick 10 sketch with color. Really really rough. :-)

Speed painting 103

Quicky 10 min sketch with a splash of color. Didn't do any refinement, just wanted to see how close I could get in the time constraint.

Speed painting 102

Still can't sleep so I just decided to keep painting. This one started as a 15min speed but then I kept going for a few hours just messing around.

Experiment002

Couldn't sleep so I decided to just make something up as I went along. Kind of interesting, I guess...

Speed painting 101

Started as a 15 min sketch, then took another 30 to shape up and add a little tone.

Speed painting 100

Finally getting back into it. Here is speed painting 100, about a 25 minute sketch.

Experiment001

Every so often I'm going to put up some paintings where I play around with different styles and techniques that I want to understand better. This is influenced by the work of Andrew Jones. Amazing concept artist.

Speed painting 98

Haven't had one in awhile. Been super busy with school and work. But I will endeavor to get caught up.

Speed Painting 97

Started off as a 10 min sketch and then added another 10 to clean it up.

Speed painting 96

Another 20 min.

Speed painting 95

20 min sketch to get the day started.

Speed painting 94

Took 15 min to sketch it out and then fleshed it out as far as I wanted to go.

Speed painting 93

Quicky 10 min sketch. This is the second go at it since the last one was lost cause PS crashed at the last minute. Doh!

Speed painting 92

Decided to kick another one out. Spent a little longer on it, bout half an hour.

Speed painting 91

Haven't had a chance to get one in, but I'll catch up. Here's a 20 min sketch

Just a painting...

Just wanted to paint for a good long time.

Speed painting 89

Here's a 10 min sketch where I spent more time working on the form and sketching in the lighting.

Speed painting 88

Here's another quick sketch

Speed painting 87

This is super rough, but I wanted to throw it up on the blog anyway.

Speed painting 86

Thought I'd toss up a 10 min one.

Speed painting 85

For this one, I went for a half hour, which I like to do from time to time just to be able to fit more detail in.
