And Another

Head study for David Honeyboy Edwards.  Planning on doing full figure but wanted to get some head work done first.  Honeyboy Edwards died recently at 96 years old!!!  He was the oldest surviving member of the first generation Delta blues singers.  Photo and quote from NYTimes.

"Over eight decades Mr. Edwards knew or played with virtually every major figure who worked in the idiom, including Charley Patton, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf. He was probably best known, though, as the last living link to Robert Johnson, widely hailed as the King of the Delta Blues. The two traveled together, performing on street corners and at picnics, dances and fish fries during the 1930s."

A few more head studies and quicksketch stuff from various art books and reference materials.  Some tweaked a bit with cheezy photoshop filters that I liked the look of.

OilSketching

A few oil sketches done over the last month or so.  Still not painting full time but trying to stay at it as best I can. The field and red flowers are 9 x 12 and the others are all 5 x 7.  Not really taken to finish and some done on some pretty crappy canvas paper.  Need to use more paint, plan better and on and on and on......

What's New???

So..... I been working at Killspace Entertainment on quite a few different projects but this is the one that has finally been announced by Atari with a release first quarter of 2011. I did the character model, the armor was done by another artist. Unfortunately I'm not sure who. Evan Cagle and David Liu did the rest with Nathan Fulton doing the character animation. I also did models for some of the dead stuff lying around.

GestureStuff

Trying to loosen up and copying my way through "Drawn To Life" by Walt Stanchfield. He was a teacher at the old Disney studios. Copying is no doubt not the best way to go about this, sketching from life is the way to go, but I think it may still help.

StillTrying

After the last "selfPortrait" I decided to try one using digital and color. I still can't get the hang of this digital painting shit. Oh well, here it is anyway.

QuickSketch

Another cartoon head. Trying out Quicksketch. I like it. Simple to use and great pencil lines.
