Sketchbook Rhino

30% cool gray Prismacolor first, then a Zebra ballpoint pen on after. And then I go back over it with darker values. I'm practicing the techniques described in this book:

Doug Chiang is AWESOME!

Oh! I have a blog

So, school started up again. Thats why I havent posted in while. I'm finally taking some awesome art classes. One of them is  an acrylic painting class and I'm very much enjoying it! Above are a couple examples of how the assignments are turning out. Painting 4-6x8 paintings a week is enjoyable. I've never used acrylic paints before so it's challenging.

And then some sketchbook goodness. Enjoy! 

I'm really loving the prismacolor gray value markers. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

This is a painting I did for my father-in-law. It's Santa's reindeer and sleigh waiting for Santa. It was a lot of fun to do.

Done in Painter X with a Wacom tablet.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is John Serf. Just a quick painting. 

Judge me by my size, do you?

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

This is a fast painting of Yoda. And It's my birthday!!! :) So can paint what I want.

Two things I like

This is just one example that shows what really matters most in my life at the age of 4 and half. Drawing, and a 9 piece Chicken McNugget. Nothing has changed.

I was really into drawing cartoon birds, turtles, and elephants.

Now back to non-art related homework. :(

Digital Paintovers

So, lately I've been doing some photo manipulations in between my homework. Really, I was just excited about the new season of AMC's The Walking Dead. These are the before and after pictures. They were all done in Corel Painter X with a Wacom tablet. The top one is my dad, the next one is my father-in-law (his blue tooth device got out of control), and the last is me.

Happy Halloween!! :)

Gallery of Terror 2012

I submitted this to the UVU Illustration Gallery of Terror 2012. It's just for fun. I used the Sharp Chalk brush in Corel Painter X. 

Happy Halloween!
