No, not yet. But I think I'm getting closer.
The advice I've gotten has helped a ton, and I've watched so many YouTube videos on how to do it. Not happy yet but this is better than day 2 for sure.
Thank you!
Oh great point! I didn't notice that.
And digital. These were all painted on my phone.
Dad, is that you? How's Arkansas?
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm enjoying finally focusing on my art. I've only been planning to do it for 3+ decades...
Don't knock stick figures! It's where we all get our start. I would draw epic battles with dozens of em shooting each other when I was young.
Oh I see what you mean! I'll practice that more, thank you!!
One day I hope for that to be intentional
That's very kind of you!
Once I'm feeling confident I'm totally doing Jules! My favorite movie of all time.
No, not yet.
I think yesterday's was better.
I don't understand...!? Um.... Yes?
No, not yet.
I'm learning how to paint faces using his face almost exclusively in one hour sessions. This is attempt number one.
I participated in my first ever live model session. I'll be going again for sure!
The title image is my favorite.
We had several 1 minute poses, two 5 minute poses, two 10 minute poses, one 20 minute pose, and one 40 minute pose.
The title image is how I painted the 40 minute pose with a monochrome mask.
Here is the full color version which I don't like as much.
The next is the rest of the sessions left to right. For the last image the model was laying down on a large pillow where I could only see the top of her head, an elbow, a breast, and a knee. I painted the most interesting of those choices. But for the final pose people moved to her a better view. Wish I would have thought of that, next time.
I'm going to look for tutorials for painting live models and quickly. I plan to go back in two weeks (this will be one pose for two hours and the subject will likely be in a costume). If you have suggestions or links that helped you I'd love it if you share!
I went on nervous as hell and that people would figure out I don't belong. I know, at my age as a grandfather it's silly but still. When I did the first 10 minute pose I started to feel comfortable and just focus on the art. By the end I felt great and couldn't wait to go back.
Lastly my favorite is the second to last sketch or the last 10 minute speed painting. I thought I really captured her elbow quite well and really like the colors and shading.
As Dainar prepared to plant Eryndra into the lifeless earth, her glowing roots suddenly tightened around his hand, her voice trembling, “Wait… they’re here.” Turning slowly, he saw the silhouettes of massive, ancient figures emerging from the trees, their eyes glowing the same ethereal light as Eryndra’s, watching in solemn anticipation.
I was really excited for the werewolf movie that's coming out. With weak reviews I probably won't watch it until it's free online, but I started this in excitement for the movie.
Experimenting with different brushes and coloring techniques.
