Halloween Sketch #6

So, haven't finished any yet, but I started another one!

Halloween Sketches 2,3,4 and 5

Well, I've got a lot of works in progress going. Hoping to finish them all up by Halloween, hopefully this year's Halloween! I'm working on improving skills as a artist, expanding my subject matter, and just to keep on learning with each new painting I do. I would like to think I'm getting to a higher level these days, but I am so far from where I could ever be happy with my ability right now. I'll just keep on working at it and maybe I'll get there someday. If not, good.

Halloween Sketch #1

Hey everybody! I've been sketching a ton of Halloween themed stuff lately, and a ton of everything really. Here's one of the somewhat Halloweenie sketches that I started painting in class yesterday and finished up last night. It was mainly a test of texture and control, all with one brush. It's got a ways to go yet, but we all know that a painting is never really "finished." Enjoy!

Long time, no post...

Well, here are a few more recent sketches. I have to say though, that I enjoy drawing cartoony stuff more than the detailed stuff that takes much longer. There is a certain appeal in creating both detailed and time consuming things as well as the much more simplified forms. It's rewarding to finally get done with the super-detailed pieces when it works out, but it might be even more rewarding to just put down a few lines and get the same feeling for the form and character...and most of the time you get much more appeal.

More Painting

Nearly finished with one painting. Just starting the next, and an old one touched up a bit.
