My first gouach'ing! I've never really painted with a traditional medium... except in art class lonnng ago.. but I don't really remember doing it often there.

Also, some sketches, a self portrait that I'm not pleased with ;P, a quick concept painting, and a color study.

(Picasa is bipolar. If Picasa decides not to link my images for some reason, try going to my blog album here: http://picasaweb.google.com/JoshB81959/SoBestwickWantsToBeAnArtist#)
Master figure studies from today:



Unfinished master study of a painting, and the subsequent realization that it looks more like an astronaut than anything else. I just realized astronaut is spelled wrong. IGNORE IT. lol



I'm also trying to design a characters suit for this little story a few friends and I are doing.. Not that happy with it, but I'm slowly getting there I think.


A mercenary leader for the same story.



A red barn and some guy walking in front of it! Originally I took a photo of a barn with a green tree in front of it.. but my friend showed me a painting where a woman in a white dress faded into the white background.. so I tried it.


Was trying to do a quick concept sketch.. all of those speed paintings by concept artists..



What was originally going to be just a basic sphere and color/lighting theory practice painting turned into a weird beached fish..


Thats all for now!

Anatomy, clothing, ferrets, Heroes, and Spies from the 1950s.

So, this week I had the urge to draw storyboards or a tiny comic for for this little project a few friends and I are doing. Slowly, that turned into trying to lead up to the character design of the main assassin character.

Mostly studies and my lame attempts at costume design. Plus, 1950's spy movie heroines.

60 second posemaniacs.com figure drawings:

Used http://cghub.com/images/view/16178 as a reference for this anatomy practice. Was very useful I think..

Also toss some ferrets and jungle animals that I did with my friend, and I'll say that was an okay week. I feel like I should have got more done though.. still.
