Hippo - digital study

Sketch Pages 910 - 916

Hello!  I was in San Antonio for a while visiting my folks but I managed to find some to draw a few pages!

Sketch Page 874

Elephant study.  I noticed on my last painting- the one of Luna- it looks like she is SUPER saturated on other computers.  Maybe I need to recalibrate my laptop screen.  Anyway, I tried to compensate for it in this study.  We'll see!

Sketch Page 833 dragonfly

Quick paint of a dragonfly.  It's a little bit blurry because I had to resize it.

Sketch Pages 822-827

Sketch Pages 814-818

I can't believe I forgot to post stuff ;-; Dumb.  I have a few more small side projects to post - including a colored version of this dragon- that I will split up into several threads.

Stay tuned!

Klymene Winter color passes

Color passes for Klymene's winter coat.  I think I'm leaning toward coats 3 and 4.

Sketch Pages 805-813

I really love drawing animals c:

Sketch Pages 795-800!

 

800 PAGES FINALLY.  I can see a teensy bit of improvement just from all the drawing I've been doing at work but I can't help feeling bad when I think about how much improvement I could've made if I had just stuck with drawing everyday.  

I need to just punch myself in the head and draw every day. (okay, minus the punches to the head.  Concussions won't help me draw more often.)

 The tumor kid above is from one of my paralysis nightmares.  I'm glad I'm done with those.

 Yes, that is a goat being chased by a flying, fiery twinkie.  No, I don't know why; it is a redraw from a very old sketch so who knows what it's about. :P

Klymene, the Forest Spirit - quick paint

I noticed something while at work - I am molasses slow when it comes to churning out concepts.  Ridiculously slow.  STUPID SLOW, EVEN.

So I'm going to try to focus on conveying ideas fast.  The focus isn't on a finished work (although I may go back and rework some of these pieces) the goal is to make the idea readable, quickly.  Today's quick paint was on a 30 minute timer.  As much as I wanted to keep painting on it, I forced myself to quit.  I really like how this turned out.  I'd like to visit it later but for now I will leave it alone.

Sketch Pages 753-758

I finally finished a sketchbook.  Gosh, I had been working on that book since September...  And it didn't have a large amount of pages; it was only 80 pages long.  bleh.  Well, on to the next one!
