Dean V2

Well it has started to evolve 2 hours of work in the morning tend to do that. Still need to push the value alot more but im actually getting somewhere. Hopefully i can finish this off this weekend.

A color study i did as the follow up for the sketch below

Dean

I did this drawing today while enjoying my Sinus infection. being sick sucks but it gives you a lot of free time. I though doing a celeb would be a good change of pace so i picked Dean Martin. Ironically i have never actually listened to Dean Martin till today. Sure i liked Frankie but never actually took the time to listen to Dean. I have to say he has a great voice.

a quick digital painting i decided to do about 20 min ago. I was so frustrated with the idea of actually using color. I hate color it has always confused me. Sure i could paint it if there was a reference but its use within my mind was limited. But i decided to jump in, and this is what i got. It somewhat interesting not very developed but hey it could be worse. Hopefully soon i will be able to produce something im happy with.

Sketch o matic

One thing i love about being an artist is sketching. I think it just the best way to express myself. Or at least be interesting. Most if not all artist say keeping a sketch book is one of the most important things you can do. If you have an idea just jot it down in the book. If you have a image draw it as fast as your memory would allow. It just a handy thing to have. The artist Joe Bluhm who I idolize even published his. http://www.joebluhm.blogspot.com/ here is his blog check it out.

This is a small part of a piece I am doing of Dean Martin. I started about an hour ago. I wanted to post something this weekend so i though this would be a nice little thing to see. I will be color by the time I am done just to let everyone know.

Sketch

Up top is a revised edition of the life drawing below. I put about another hour or so into it. I had so anatomy issues and wanted to change some values around. To the left i did a caricature of my pasture Byron Barkules. I'm going to start a caricature of him and his wife soon possibly in water color. Hopefully i will finish that soon so i can post it up.

Quick Life Drawing

A 30 min life drawing i did in CS3 while my god son was sleeping.
