Long time no see a bunch of bad paintings!

A lot of digital painting.. and then some oil painting towards the end. I just bought the oils and this is really my first experience with them.. or any other paint besides gouache.. which I bought this year too.

And somewhere in the middle is a screenshot of a facebook application called Farmville. I thought the game was too cute and there needed to be a more manly game.. so I painted in a hobos dream home, 3 boxes, a plank, a trash can, and a tarp. lol

And, I really hate posting in this tiny confined box.. then trying to drag images around or type around them.

Lotsastuff!

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!
