Color week, boop boop.

This week, we're taking thumbs from last week and doing 5 different version of 10 of them, and applying different lighting and color scenarios.  Super fun shit, man.  Unfortunately moving this week, so it's getting in the way a little.  4/5 of the first round, and I'll update this later with the 5th.

Edit:  All 5!

More to go!

A thumbnail kind of day.

This week is thumbnail week over at the art camp.  200 in a week?  No prob.  Though moving might get in the way >.<;  Also below is a quick sketch while I was listening to/watching this week's demo.

My thumbs are infinitely better than they used to be, hooooly shit.  Some with line, some brought out of abstraction.  There's some cool stuff going on, and plenty more thumbnails to go!

Going n' going.

One from imagination and I'm still going tonight.  Tried some atypical things for me for the imagination piece, and despite it having some errors and missed opportunities, I'm still pleased with it as an experiment.  Took me way too long, but still.

Also, fucking PACT got funded!  Hell yeah!

Overdue update!

Phew!  Lots of stuff to upload today.  Been meaning to get around to it, but last week was a bit of a hectic week (not to mention we're getting ready to move), so I'm finally able to get back to things.

We got your figures, your metal, your fur, your muscles!  Lots of studying and ecorche stuff from Scott Eaton's class that I just finished up last week, and applied the knowledge from that to the most recent (top-most) painting.  Definitely, definitely improved my figures 10-fold.  There's a level of understanding now that I just didn't have prior.  I just have to make sure that I refresh myself on it so that I don't lose it.

Also, TOTALLY got into Nathan Fowkes's Schoolism class in January, which filled upon opening a new session in less than 30 minutes.  I couldn't believe that it was full by the time I got done entering my information!  So psyched!

Also In animated GIF form: http://i.imgur.com/T5iLZr2.gif for those interested.

Just keeping myself going, and having a blast seeing the progress.  That's all for now.

Sword Valley

Been couped up inside during plein-air week due to the weather.  Got this done today to kill some time before heading out so the weather would have a better chance at being decent.

It always feels good to get a painting done that you enjoy.  Yup.

Mat, when do I get to make cards, sir?

Getting my plein-air on.

About to get out and do more of these, but figured I'd post these up.  It's a whole new ballgame trying to get correct colors outside..  Can't believe I didn't do plein-air painting before now.  Time to go out pray I don't get sunburned once again!
