Teeny tiny oil painting of a teeny tiny birb. Painting is smaller than my hand.  Also here's a little process gif because phones apparently can easily do this built in these days.

Cool! I love the little design work + mazes/shapes in the shading. I'm a fan of doing that myself. Finished the linework for another album cover, this time a gatefold so front/back horizontal landscape orientation. Color is almost done too, this one is 14" x 28" on bristol

I like how you made it watercolor-y, I think I only used it in a fairly opaque sense. I know I could just Google it, but what the gently caress is an Evil Bong? Sounds like a band name

I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s very versatile! Evil Bong is a horror comedy movie series from Full Moon Pictures. They are very silly.

That's not bad at all. Concentrate on shading. I use black and white charcoal on toned paper to push forms. Remember shadow defines form.

I've just been trying to do faster/better for quick stuff. I find if I get into the weeds with charcoal then im there for hours.

Fellow goon MacheteZombie gave me a good idea for a gouache painting. It was very difficult. It's on 9"x12" watercolor paper. Inspired by A Nightmare On Elm Street.

I'm doing a watercolor, and I like to apply in layers, masking areas with frisket that don't get the next layer. I've used this technique before, and it's worked fine. This time, however, the frisket almost immediately removed the paint below it. That's never happened before, and I have no idea what caused it this time. The paint was well dry for more than a day. And the frisket didn't remove the paint as I took it off, but as I was applying it, so it was almost like it was dissolving the paint on contact. Does anyone know what's causing this and how I can prevent it?

Handen posted:What kind of paper are you using? Canson Montval, which is the same stuff I've been using for months. The paints are M. Graham, and the frisket is the orange Grumbacher stuff. None of these elements have changed between the stuff working and not working. For reference, here's a pic of what happens. This isn't even after removing the frisket - it's still on there. This is what happens as soon as I apply it. My understanding is that frisket shouldn't act like this.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that. I swear frisket is a monkey paw, it must gently caress up fifty percent of the pics I use it on.

x-posting from the daily thread is ok, right? If I have to choose, I will move my posting here tho as I do nothing digital. I could not post here before I read the entire thread, which I powered through over the weekend... Spend the weekend in Minsk, Belarus. I am really getting into this urban sketching vibe and I like it. Watercolor is an amazing medium for this and the more I do it, the more relaxed my lines and strokes get. The pie, for example, was done in less than 10 minutes as my wife wanted to start eating it. The two castles were done during the Urban Sketchers Minsk meetup. This was my first time every drawing with others in an organised way, it was way more fun than I thought. It is like a social event for introverts!      Yes this all goes on instagram and drawing your food and then posting the drawing plus the subject is the most hipster thing I ever did, Instagramming with additional steps.

Was commissioned to make a big version of a little old sketch. This is the second thing I’ve made on clayboard this week — after a few years of not using it — and I’m remembering how nice it is (and all of the annoying frustrations) 11x14” ink on clayboard The aforementioned other thing, for the Art Dome  Trabant posted:My "OK, gently caress this, gently caress me, this is the best it'll get, I give up" print of the year: Rad

Angrymog posted:Are you printing with a press, or by hand? The printing itself was a combination of doing it by hand (Speedball baren, wooden spoon) and/or a copy press I restored earlier this year. The press actually worked great, but I think I tried too many different things with this fucker at once: new ink, new paper, press + hand. Should've run a proper design of experiments to figure out the best settings. I might revisit it some day, or just find someone local to re-teach me the printing part of the puzzle. Thank you -- yours too!
