It was a tough one at work today. It was real difficult to focus today and at the end I needed to just paint something for myself. This one took about and hour or so. I’ve been trying to embrace rich color while also trying not to let the picture become gaudy. It may not stand the test of time, but for now I’m pretty happy with it.

Like it says up late sketching. I’m not sure if late night doodling is healthy, (in fact I’m sure it’s not) but sometimes I have a lot of nervous energy and all I can do is draw.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been, but I usually out with some drawing pals on Wednesday nights. We usually hold up at a pub or some other sort of place and draw. There’s also a fair amount of therapy. It’s nice to have a sympathetic ear if you had a bum day at the job. I was a little tired tonight night but here’s my best page. I couldn’t do much but try and catch some likenesses from across the room. Mostly it was nice just to shut down a bit and concentrate on drawing. Enjoy.

I can’t sleep right now, a perfect time for blogging! I did another studio art test a couple of weeks ago. They asked me if I could storyboard, I’d never considered myself a storyboard artist but what the heck. So I gave it my best go. I thought I’d share my favorite page from the set. I think it’s pretty self explanatory, but probably a little too detailed for board work.

I’ve decided I need to start doing more quick paintings.  I did this one during lunch today, so I guess it took about an hour. Maybe a little less, but the goal is to get faster so gotta start somewhere. Enjoy.
