More sketchboook pages.

I’m currently working out of Uden Frame Works’ “Fight Scene High Speed Photography Series 1 - Karate and Kung-fu”. I intend to fill this sketchbook with fighting scenes.

I got a book of martial arts reference photos for Xmas. I’m going to fill this sketchbook with them. Come along if you feel like it.

Warrior Woman, digital, me, 2022 I usually don’t do much thirsty art, but I’ve always kind of wanted to. I like the way I got the light. I was taking color and atmosphere cues from a couple of Frank Frazetta paintings. It’s been a couple of weeks since I painting this, I notice the flaws. Youtube’s Baumgartner Restorations has said that feet are harder to paint than hands and I’m starting to agree with him. I’ve never tried to paint someone quite this ripped before, so that was a fun challenge too. I’m taking a figure drawing course soon. I’m hoping some time working from life will help me over this plateau.

Revisiting some of my past paintings, this is one of my favorites. I still really like it but what really strikes me is how much I’ve improved

“Stilted”, digital, me, 2021. Didn’t quite get the proportions the way I wanted, but I still like it.

I had the opportunity to visit @thelivingplanet aquarium and @tracyaviary recently. Always a joy to sketch the animals there. Thanks guys! #art #sketchbook #draweveryday #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmy_mZHVbH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whenever I’m feeling stuck and uncreative, I find painting an abstract helps a lot. I put on my headphones and start putting pen and paint to the page. This kind of spontaneous art gets to my emotional core--I feel lighter and more hopeful after a session. It’s as important a part of my art practice as practicing form, color mixing, or proportion.
