the Missing April Megapost
April was a kind of busy month for me. But I did manage to get in some practice doing things I’m just not used to, and start focusing a little more on working from imagination. So let’s play catch-up in one mega, mostly chronological post: A speedpaint done exploring some new things I’d learned about …

Speedpaint — March 26 2012
I have a livestream channel, and last night I livestreamed a sketch! (You can watch it here) Which sounds a bit dirty but in truth, all I did was record a video of me drawing. Referenced from a photo. My big challenge with this was that I tried to limit it to four values only. …

february 29 2012
happy belated February 29! Quick paint. Quicker to do than the previous Pirate Princess piece, but much tighter and fewer messy impressionist-y strokes.

Happy holidays!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and a busy year all round but I’m looking forward to having some time to myself and my growing games collection (thx Steam). It’s technically summer where I am, but it doesn’t feel like it! We’ve gotten some amazing and beautiful and crazy-intense storms over the past couple …

flowers and fruit
November’s barely started, and it feels like it’s ticking along already! What happened to October!? November is a busy busy month. Besides my final assignment for school, I’m currently working on my piece for The Thing That Should Not Be issue 4 and a couple of other pieces competing for attention in my head. Watching …

Sketchblog post
I can so speedpaint — half hour sketch challenge, no ref. I would like to go back and push her features back a bit more, and maybe fill in the muscles on the highlighted side of her neck a bit more (she’s got more there! I just thought it would be a better idea to …

Speedpaint: Arjun Rampal
So after a somewhat unexpected hiatus, I’m back! Here’s a quick speedpaint of actor/model Arjun Rampal, based off this photoreference. After a week without painting it’s nice to see I can still learn! I could have learned more, but after a bit of a break I’d like to get back into doing more frequent, quicker …
