Greetings, blog readers!
I’m still working on the painting of “Bird Boy” (see previous post for value sketch). Much to my relief painting is getting easier and faster as I work out a process, and the painting is looking pretty good so far. However I will refrain from posting the progress because it is in a terribly awkward place where the figure has no eyes or hair yet and bears an uncomfortable resemblance to an underdeveloped fetus. No, don’t worry, I’ll spare you.
While doing some housework today I happened across one of the sketches I did for a painting demonstration back in February. I’m pretty happy with this one. My model, once again, is my dear roommate Jeremy, he just has such good features – that and he is the only person I have access to at 10pm when I need to shoot reference.
I think that is about all for now. Back to paint, paint, painting!
Oh, and if you’re looking for a new artist to check out, here is one of my favorites, Pete Ferguson. He’s a fantastic painter and an inspiration to me. Also, a cool guy. Enjoy, my friends!
