Drawing Dump Party

Big Ole Post

Ah man, has it been a long time since i posted here. Insane work commitments meant i couldn't post or even make personal art for the last four monthes or so. so instead of posting some stuff individually here are a bunch of paintings all in one dump.

something you may notice is that most of these are portrait. possibly due to the fact i have been primarily working in landscape. specifically 16 by 9 for such a long time. with the exception of character design.  anyway. i aim to start posting here more frequently until i am once again employed full time. 

dr lector wishes you a happy haloween

I’m taking a break from historical mood setting works for kids to do some figure studying. this sketch then kind of morphed into a painting and then i had to finish it to save face. its a little art school rubishy but I’m pleased with the pose. 

History on a grand scale

I'm trying to get better at painting and develpoing a flow of work that works for me. so far using soft brushes to block out colour and tone, then working on top of them with harder and harder edge brushes seems to be working ok. I was doing it the other way round but i didnt like the results as they felt blobby and undefined.

a green and pleasent land

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
