Wearing Converse

 Some new character designs I did in Sketchbook Pro. First time ever using it and so far so good, I like it for drawing and its brushes. These two are the first of many designs I'm doing the next is a space girl. (the sketch is at the bottom of the post) I am also screen printing these onto shirts. Two colors: converse and shadows.

I love Enviros

Here's a quick group of 6 environment paintings I worked on all at the same time. They were easy to work on because if one got frustrating I would just paint another. If I couldn't figure out a tree in one, I'd paint a building or a moon in a different painting.(ADD painting technique) All 6 took me about 18 hrs and some I detailed more than others so I don't know how long each took by themselves.

This first one started as me just scribbling with complimentary colors and then I started to watch kung-fu movies, so you can see where that went.


This next one was influenced by these rock structures in Thailand, then became villages built on their cliffs. And I always wanted to paint a destroyed moon.


Next one was the hardest for me to figure out, all I knew was that I wanted a mountain peak. This one changed and frustrated me the most, but it came out okay.


This one was painted with the sunset beach prompt from one of my friends. I like to surf so I was down to try it. The tree fort also seemed like a cool spot to check out the waves from. I think I'm going to take this one back into Photoshop and make some changes on it and fix some things I don't like.


Magma Temple... that is all


Last but not least, Chasing Fireflies, this one was my favorite and the fastest. I definitely am going to do more with it and fix some stuff, but I liked the idea and colors.

Here's a master study of a painting from Brother Bear, I stopped after 2hrs of work, it was definitely tough trying to match colors and brush strokes but I'm happy with it.

Indian Speed-painting Study

Here's a painting study of an Indian girl I did after a long break from digital work. First I laid down a gradient and drew a girl sitting in front of the sun from some reference I found. Second was my initial block-in stage trying to match colors from a sunset. I used a lot of warm colors and neutral oranges and yellows. Then just refined and softened up edges until I didn't need the lines anymore.
