1. The initial sketch. This began on a recycled old painting which already had the colors I was looking for. In this stage, I was trying to capture the overall essence of the piece.
2. The line drawing. This was done over the initial sketch. You know what they say, behind every great painting, lies a great drawing.
3. The line drawing was then placed on top of the initial sketch.
4. I began to paint under the line drawing, trying to separate values, and distinguish the different items in the painting.
5. I Finally rendered on top of the line drawing to a more finished state.
final piece can be seen here

black and white Thumbs

Here are some black and white thumbs for practice. More black and white studies can be found here.

Observational Studies

13x10in

12x12in

These took roughly 3.5hours 

1 Man, 1thousand Faces.

These are all self portraits from observation. I did these over the span of a week after being heavily inspired by figurative artists like Scott Burdick, Morgan Weistling, and Ron Lemen. These each took at most 3 hours to complete. 

Traditional Studies

The Kitchen

8"x11"

DSA Hallway

11"x11"

These  studies were done in acrylic. I intend on doing a lot more of this in the future. These took approximately 3-4hrs to complete.

Mythology themed Sketches

First, I made a spitpaint of medusa's death. 

With a similar color scheme in mind, I later used "Medusa's Death" as a starting point (canvas) for the cyclops who went on a rampage shortly after losing his sheep.

 Later, I had an idea completely with a color scheme completely different from the previous two.

These were all 30 mins. I'm really tempted to push some these sketches further.  

Desert Series (continued)

More Desert themed spitpaints.
