3 Faces

Three quick studies that I pencilled and painted tonight. I only spent about twenty minutes per face. I am trying to improve my painting speed, and the ability to make fast color choices. I have a long way to go.

New I mac and CorelX

This could very well be one of the happiest moments of my life!!!! Cam on Meo!!! Meo so mot!!!

Quick Study

I wanted to try a start to finish with a limited amount of time. I pencilled, scanned and painted this in a little over one hour. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Aztec Queen

Quick study.Another Aztec character. I was gonna make her a vamp, but decided not to.

Aztec Vampire

A quick study I started late last night. I have been watching lots of Vampire flicks lately. Bram Stokers Dracula, Dusk 'till Dawn, and Blade 2. So I figured I had to do one of my own. I borrowed reference from all three films, as well as others to come up with this guy. I hopefully will have time to do his wife soon.

Sea Spell

I decided to do some corrections on it this weekend. I like it better now.

Sea Spell

I was messing around with mermaid concepts and instead came up with an atlantean sorceress whose familiar is the octopus. It was very challenging to create an entire underwater scene. I'm thinking about doing the atlantean wizard next.

Born Ready

This is another old drawing that I painted yesterday on a whim. It was really fun painting the placenta!! (I know that sound gross, but it's the truth)

Defending the Garden

This took a lot longer than I expected. I enjoyed learning from this piece and I look forward to doing more like it.

Defending the garden

I did this pencil drawing a while ago and have finally decided to post it. I will be painting it this weekend, so the finished will be up mid to late next week. Hopefully it will come out right, I have never attempted to paint something this ornate before.

Nosferatu

Thanks Baron for such a kick-ass pose and costume

Rebel Crusader

This is a four hour study I did last night.

One and a half hour value study, built up from a pencil sketch.

Woman with cloth

Head Study

This is a two and a half hour head study I did last night. While everyone else was partying I was at home working.

Head Study

A speed painting I did today using a different tecnique. I used Corel and PS.

Candy

Like father...like son.

I was wanting to do a family photo piece. Something that reflected the bond between family members, a touching moment if you will. The I went waaaaaay off into left field. I thought, what about a mafia family photo. Father and son, in a touching, and monumental moment for the family. Tony "the nose" Scaletti has just whacked Johnny "the iron lung" Lombardi. And at this joyous moment Tony's father Fabrizio "small hands" Scaletti is so proud of his son. Tony "the nose" has moved up in the Family. This was done in Corel and PS2.Good times.

Self- Portrait

This was done totally in Corel. It's my first real self-portrait and I am pretty pleased with the likeness

Angel Dove

Speed painting done in Corel and Ps2.

Astro

The first canine pilot.

Ghost

When I think of a ghost this is what comes to mind.

Speed painting done with Corel Painter and Photoshop.

Lonely Dinner

This is apiece I did mostly in Corel Painter. It was a fun experiment and I hope to do more like it in the future.

African-American catholic, wiccan ,mischievous cutie..... A speed painting.

This is one of my classmates. I hope she likes it!

This is a piece that I did last summer, and to this day it is my favorite.

Another study. I had lots of fun creating motion in her clothing. If your girlfriend has this look on her face, it is the beginning of the end, my friend.

Another study from photo. I learned a lot from this one. I feel that i got to apply what I learned from Clothed Figure 1. Thanks CB!

Skull

This is a drawing that I did for Anatomy 1. I have it framed and hung in my apartment.

I'm a star!

Recently I have been studying Barbara Bradley's traditional American style illustration. This is a twenty minute study from photo.

Onda

Waiting

This was really fun to draw. It is one of my first attempts at cross-hathching.

This is my first cross-hatch style drawing. It was very fun, and very time consuming.
