Portrait quick sketch. Oil on canvas board, 5x7"

#oil painting #alla prima #portrait #The perpetual struggle is: do I varnish so it photographs better (but then it's significantly more of a hassle to reuse the panel)#Or do I be lazy and post it glare and all #I did some retouching to try to make the photo look more like the painting irl but I'm not great at that kind of thing

Graphite on paper.

Intense glare made this one impossible to photograph but I kind of like how visible the texture is here.

5x7" skeleton sketch. Oil on canvas board.

#oil painting #alla prima #skeleton #At this level of loose sketching in paint it gets a little abstract but I kind of like it that way.#I know others prefer the tighter rendering. And I'm working on more of those too.

Just a shipwrecked lady.

#graphite #pencil art #skeleton art #horror art #I was thinking about developing this one into a full painting at some point #but there are a lot of little issues I'd have to work out first. And I'm lazy. We'll see.

I've been neglecting my pencil drawings for a while. Oof. Forgot that getting even tones with pencil can be hard. Cheap home printer scan quality isn't too bad though.

#graphite #drawing #skull #skulls #Printers are probably relatively cheaper because the companies want to sell you ink cartridges that cost more than the printer itself.#Oh and this one requires you to download their app in order to use the printer. So don't forget the unwanted data collection too.

Another skull study. I got this piece of mystery fiberboard from a used art supply store and it's a little smaller than 5x7"
