Color Sketches

Riffing on a theme of "Frozen Pass".  Mostly experimenting with what colors I can use for snow and working towards a final.  There's a few more to do on this one, but wanted to put 'em up before Christmas stuff got me busy.

Still going..

Thumbing for something to take to final.  Did a quick self portrait for like an hour.  (with monitor lighting obviously) to break up some of the monotony that thumbing can sometimes bring.  Barely addressed the hair since I didn't want to render my greasy need-to-shower hair, lol. Pushed the bottom one a little bit but it wasn't working for me.

And some quick stuff from life.  Only could spend like 30 minutes per plein air before my hands started screaming at me from the cold, so they're rather quick.

Stuff stuff

Thumbs from imagination & a quick cloud study.  Those cloud edges, mm.

Sargent is da best.

Spent a long time on this lady.  Yes indeed.  Would kill to see it in person at the Met.

God, Sargent, you're so fucking good.

Collabodraw

Just trying to participate in the Collabodraw again!  Was getting kind of dead, and we can't have that!  That, and trying to do more imaginative work in general.  Not super happy with the skin tones, feel like they're boring.  It was fun, but as always, it shows what I need to keep working on.

Lots of random things.. Yep!

Environment, comp studies, textures, imaginative figures.  All of the things!  I'll edit this with more ..eloquent.. text later.

This smug punk!

Had some awesome reference, so had to paint this dude.  I really want to work on better brush economy though.

Edit:  Color version added.
