Ta-dah! A second still life (a little cropped due to minimal scanning surface and laziness) and another composition design, this time with astronauts! I also flash-coloured it in photoshop, because that is how I roll. I am more than half-done the oil painting but I’m gonna save all the process stuff to display with the finished work. Patience all round, eh?

2-Point Perspective study and two composition exercises that I sneakily used as an excuse to draw cowboys and rockstars. Yeehaw ^_^

360 Degrees of Lomy. Or rather, 270. The paper was only so big. Isn’t she cute?!

This was a present for my friend Em, who has had sealwomen on her mind recently.

This was Rob’s present! I think he liked it. Before it was art, it was “Home Cookin’” by The Creamcheeze Goodtimes Band.

Gesso and Pen on Vinyl

So I was thinking: I’ve never been one to get very good at using photoshop textures, perhaps because there isn’t normally a lot of texture in my work in the first place. So, I’ve been doing these ballpoint pen drawings, which are, well, textureful! Textured. Heavily textured, some of them. And I’m debating playing with some of those textures in photoshop. Thoughts? Tips? Tricks?

Stay tuned for results, me hearties.

This was fun to do.

Today’s sketch met my old (and dying) Letraset Tria markers. Remember them? They had three tips (small, medium, chisel!) and cost $8? Well I still have a bin of some odd and mismatched colours.

Not sure if it’s obvious here, but most images in my blog click open to larger versions of themselves, if you want to see a detail.
