Speed painting this morning

I just wanted to mess around in a completely different way.  I don't normally work like this but it's always good to break out of your norm, right?

morning warm up

Another warm up.  I think I'm hitting a mix of Betteo and Loish.  2 excellent artists.  I realized I really wanted to draw women and take notice of how women draw women.  There's a strength, beauty, and nuance that a ton of men painters never grasp and just make too gratuitous.  I like capable and strong and still beautiful and sexy which I see women paint.  Makes sense in my mind that women will paint women better.  Not always the case but I like the way they portray "themselves."

I got the opportunity to do a demonstration at work about speed painting, sketch doodling, and character design coloring at the studio. It was great fun and hopefully they learned as much as I did.  You can learn  a lot about yourself and your train of thought when you HAVE to in front of a group.  Reminded me of teaching at Digipen that summer.  Here's what it all inspired.

The City Exploration

Starting to flesh out ideas for the City under the clouds.  I think it has something going here but to much on the realism for the story.  i might have to hand draw everything to get the look I'm after.......
