quick acrylic study

Just a quick little study- It's defiantly harder to get smooth transitional shadow lines with acrylic- Going to practice some more today hopefully.

Paintings of Christ

Pen sketches

I have liked drawing with pens lately. No mess, it's permanent and doesn't smudge in my notebook. It also gives me the challenge to get the measurements as accurate as I can, because once I put that mark down, it's there.

So originally I was going to do a tutorial with this sketch but got really sick- So here is the final.

Maybe next time... (:

Etsy

I've opened an etsy shop- If you're interested head over there.

What I am working on...

Trying to keep up with posts can be a challenge when so many other things are going on in life.  But I thought I'd throw in this little rough from a job I am currently working on...  Maybe I should do a demo on how I digitally paint this sketch from start to finish??


I also received my copy of Henry Yang's Techniques and Figure drawing book. He is definitely amazing. If you want to learn figure drawing go study his book-

Head sketch

I'm anxiously awaiting a figure drawing book to arrive in the mail. I'm diving back into my fine art roots. I have started gessoing some boards... although that didn't run as "smooth" as I'd hoped. They apparently didn't like drying in the cold and left a lot of crackle affects on my gesso. (Which to some may be ideal, but I'd prefer it smooth for now.)   However I believe if the drawing is exceptional  the painting and values even better then who cares for now. I'm only starting.   Tonight I thought I'd throw out a quick sketch to get me in the groove.....
