New Figure Speedpaints from Life!

Here's some more.  I think they're all one-sessions (around 2 hrs.) or less.

I like these more narrative ones.

I came in late for this one and kinda rushed it.  Now the proportions are all wonky... :-(

This setup had really nice natural lighting.

An experiment with getting good directional texture in Photoshop.

I wish we'd had more time for this.

Decided to try this entirely in Painter.  It certainly took longer, but I do kind of like the more "impressionistic" look.


Again, yay for narrative poses!

Study with a draped figure + graffiti/rust texture = homeless guy illustration!

Our last thing in Figure Drawing class this semester.  Class was cut short at the end for critiques.
I really didn't do a good job capturing his likeness in this one, but I do like how the actual rendering came out.

My approach in Painter, a little looser than in Photoshop.

Some acrylic life landscape stuff

A couple more to come, but here's some I had in my computer right now.

The bridge one was about 2-3 hours, gray city was about 2 hours, the water one was about 4-ish.

The bride was this awesome, antique train bridge over the oletangy river in Columbus. The second is a view of Columbus from the window of my 4th floor painting class. The third is the view of a creek at Whetstone park of roses, also at Columbus.


They're all pretty small.
