Day 200

Some Studies from the past 2 months

Day 117

2hr10min study eh supposed to be me lol. Iv been painting traditionally in my oil painting class and I am trying to emulate a similar look with my digital painting. Currently I am working on a Rembrandt study in the class so I can say that he is a great influence to my work! I really enjoy this style!

Landscape Painting with Ikaruga!

So I am trying to break into the whole landscape business. My friend Ikaruga encouraged me! Both of us will be challenging each other on a weekly basis. This past week it was fantasy landscape. These are a couple landscape studies that I made. I will post my concept work a little later this week.

Day 110

Some brainstorming for an album cover.

So in my painting class our instructor, Pat, had use try a new technique of painting called the verdaccio method. The method achieves the illusion of seeing grey. I tried to apply the same concept to these 2 digital paintings, however I kinda of failed. They turned out to be more of a monochromatic study.

Day 107

 So I failed again, like the usual! I was supposed to have 100 hands completed by today but only managed to draw 42 this past week.

Day 97

Hand studies either done from memory(M) or life(P for Personal Hand)

Day 80

"What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country. " 12 hr Study. ehh, should have spent more time with the drawing. Really struggled with this one. As you can see, I tried to play with my brushes in this piece. I am starting to get tried of that dull, digital rendering. Paintings look a lot more interesting if there is some tooth in the piece.

If you may wonder how I suddenly jumped to day 80, here is the reason why: Before I was only counting days that I would complete a painted study, however, now I have changed plans. I am going to count every single day of the 365 day challenge (Deathline Challenge), which started November 5th, 2011. I figured I would go this route because I dont always have the time to make a painting. For days I do not paint, I mainly spend my hours studying technical aspects of drawing like anatomy and perspective. I will probably not upload all the studies that I do but I will try my best to consistently post what I have been learning. I have made some modification to my 365 day challenge and I will shortly update that list. Thanks for staying in tune.

Day 33-40

"All these horrible realities began to dawn on me. "7hr study from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
