animation fun
These are some flour sack exercises for animation... I am getting into drawing animation and really think its the key to good character drawing. Its fun when you start to draw verbs instead of nouns. I have a long way to go... Have a look at this guy!

Watercolour, gouashe and pastel
I had a go with watercolour, Gouashe and finally fix-it pastel yesterday. This is from my inca trail experience and was one of my favorite memories of the place. I might carry this on in digital, as I dont like how much black I ended up using... Im getting used to the traditional way of things...slowly.

Plein Air
I went Plein air painting on sunday, which is to say I sat on a rock like a lump and argued with my watercolours for an hour... without much luck. BUT, it seems to have gone into my head, because I just tried to paint the same scene from memory and it worked relatively well... such is the power of digital.
I will post my actual watercolour/guashe attempt asap. it will be funny to compare!

Gestures and a T-face
I have been inspired to get my figures improved... so I have been doing some gestures on a pre-printed proportion grid based on Loomis. I wanted to be forced to put things in the right place to get in the habit of it.
The face was for a competition at work to make a self portrait as a terminator to win stuff. I got a poster in the end, but was aiming for the artbook. This is the first self portrait I have done in many years. Bit messed up though...

Bits and bobs
Here are a few more bits and pieces I have been busy with in the last while. Som old, some new.
This is a composite of a ton of paintings done on my Nintendo DS in 'colors' (collectingsmiles.com)
Its a great learning tool as there is no undo... and its just simple brushes and thumbnail size.
This was a study of a picture I took of my sisters man. I just loved the thoughtful look.
I figured it was about time I painted a guy in armour. Just one of those things that has to happen in digital art...

First time for everything
Wow... after a long time thinking about blogging and whether I should give it a try, I have finally decided to actually get off my butt and post something. I will try use this blog as a way of expressing some random thoughts on art, painting, drawing and I guess life too, though where the boundary lies between these i have yet to figure out.
Anyway, I am just going to post some studies and recent sketches to start with.
