Final piece. I'll also post when it's framed. 18"x24". Digital, acrylic, gouache, and colored pencil on paper. Unfortunately, the show I had completed this for had a fairly arbitrary geographical cut off requirement, so being a county off, I was unable to submit this to the show. ---- I'll be posting the video of me painting this soon! The full version will be on my Patreon (patreon.com/theartofjoshdavis) and a smaller version over on my YouTube or here... ----- #digitalpainting #acrylicpainting #gouachepainting #gouache #coloredpencil #digitalart #photoshop #illustration #fantasyart #crowart #crows #artistsoninstagram #artistsonpatreon (at Ashland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3h-spAhlL/?igshid=8pns37ab1kiy

This is the result of the final stage of the "underpainting" portion for this project. Started in Photoshop with just b&w, printed that off on 18x24, and just wrapped up the b&w colored pencil layer. This will now get a coat of spray matte finish which "locks" this layer of work down and lets me get started on the painting part of this. #wip #art #studioart #artstudios #selfportrait #crowart #fantasyart #illustration #photoshop #pencil #prismacolor #acrylicpainting #pencildrawing #digitalart #digitalpainting (at Ashland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOtlD3nih8/?igshid=581or7xzs64f

Here's the full self portrait #wip. I printed it off on 18"x24" 55lb bond paper at OfficeMax (the stuff is actually quite durable and holds up to a lot of abuse for it's weight, plus I love the way paint and pencil really grab onto it) The next step is black, grey, and white #coloredpencil . #selfportrait #illustration #artist #art #artistsoninstagram #studioart #drawing #painting #digitalart #digitalpainting #photoshop #pencil #acrylicpainting #acrylic #gouache (at Ashland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOoGjaHwaj/?igshid=e5vm8utxcplw

Ok, here's another #wip shot of the #apollo piece I'm working on... Y'know what I hate most? Taking GOOD pictures of my work. I mean, I CAN take good pics of my work, but it's just such a pain sometimes. The setup, the lighting, making sure there's no glare. Here's the thing, whenever I start making some of that serious art $$, I'm hiring one of my pro photo genius friends to take my art photos. Hire that shit out. Ok, that's my ramble for the evening. 😂 #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #abundantartshow #acrylicpainting #gouachepainting #gouache #acrylic #coloredpencil #nasaart #nasa #spaceart #illustration #digitalart (at Ashland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHGLE2H4w9/?igshid=190z83rvmhdcw
