The Nightmare Eye
This is one of my most recent paintings that kicked off the art challenge that I inflicted upon myself. The challenge is that if I stepped out of my rut and did art regularly, I would eventually treat myself to a new tablet. Nothing gets my brain wheels turning like mindlessly painting clouds, so I […]
Baldy
I haven’t been doing any painting lately. It’s generally because I get frustrated at not having the skills to do the things I want to do, and of course I can’t improve if I don’t work on anything. It’s a vicious cycle I guess. Several weeks ago my friend suggested we set some time aside […]
They See Me Trollin’
Ok… this is sort of a cheat entry because I didn’t make it specifically for my blog. I decided to submit it however, because I want to start giving Bag of Bees some love again. The idea is that this will kick start my motivation a bit and I’ll start submitting something here at least […]
Hard Drive Failure
In case some of you were wondering why I haven’t had an update in several days, it’s because my hard drive decided to crap out on me. I just now got the new one installed. I am still in the process of installing all of my applications though, so it might still be a day […]
Hooded Girl
This started out as fabric practice, which is a bit odd seeing as I didn’t spend that much time on the cloth. Oh, and trees sprouted out of the doodles – big surprise!
Failure Is A Foot
I decided to do a study of my anatomical arch nemesis – the foot. My understanding of the way a foot works beneath the skin is pretty limited, so it came out less structured than I would have liked. There is a bit of blobbiness going on. That’s the point in practicing though, right? 😀
Lava Flow Meets The Sea
Someone I know mentioned having a dream about lava flowing into water, and it inspired me to paint this. It took me about an hour and a half to do.
Hand Study
Hands and feet are both very difficult for me to paint, so I decided to do a quick hand study tonight. Done in maybe a half an hour or so. I’ll probably do more of these – and some feet ones as well.
Melting Crimson Tree
I downloaded some new Photoshop brushes the other day and decided to play around with them a bit. A tree tends to sprout when I’m tinkering. The lighting in this is kind of wonky, but I think the colors are kinda fun.
Feathered Back
Someone sent me an image of a green bird and decided I wanted to paint it. This was mainly a color and texture study – and I decided not to follow the colors of the original. I wanted it to be a little darker and more bluey. Yeah. Bluey.
