Sick. I've been meaning to get a real skull to study but then I always start looking at full size skeletons, and they're just way expensive and often kinda screwy. I've also always wanted to get into oils but the smell, man, the smell. That is a sick fuckin skull. E.

That is awesome. My dad was an oil painter but I never managed to pick it up well. Painting is really damned difficult, you're really skilled.

Thanks guys! Loga: I love the smell of oil paints! Or at least the brand/mediums I'm using. I usually stick with Winsor & Newton stuff and combine it with walnut mediums of some kind. I find the walnut oils to be pretty low odor. However, the varnishes are something I wish an effective alternative would come out for. The damar resin and turpentine combination is pretty potent smelling. Curls your nose hairs. I'm sure there's something out there I could use, but effort and all that.

I love the chicken legs on this sassy lady  Thank you for cheering my day with pretty naked dude drawing but - unwanted advice alert - it sorta looks like the end of the dong is melting in with the leg. Eeeeh it's great how you used the texture of the canvas to make the drapery, it looks really good. I may have looked at a Bauhaus video. I miss the giant 80's hairdos. Trying to find a good way to represent sound in picture.

Belated spring cleaning, found a thing, a wood burning tool I think it's called in English. They were commonly used in the Soviet Union for art stuff. I played with it for a bit and then wondered if I could use it to make the crudest woodcut ever~ Gonna try again with a more woodcut-y drawing, better process, better paper, polished wood, black ink over a wash.

Welcome, and thank you for the advice I kept going between super-eye-catching dong to less obvious and I think you're right I blended the dong a bit much.

I like the texture you're working on, and that eye is quite appealing! Trying to get acquainted with color, a study from 'June in the Austrian Tyrol'  Perhaps I should try to say less, quicker...

I have very limited experience with oil painting, so take nothing I say as gospel. I only use walnut oil and walnut alkyd mediums based on advice from other illustrators. Could you quiz your friend on what medium brands and ratios of additives he/she uses?

He uses Daniel Smith but agrees that Winsor and Newton is some of the best. The medium he uses is as follows: 1 part Damar Varnish 1 part stand oil 1 part turpentine Here is his website. One of the fastest oil painters I know swears by walnut oil, but I was told again today that stand oil (linseed oil) is superior because it won't crack given longer periods of time. If you want your painting to last 100 years or more, don't use walnut oil. Not sure how much that matters to some people but that is what I was told.

sigma 6 posted:He uses Daniel Smith... Awesome, thanks! Does he use anything to speed up drying times? The walnut alkyd medium I use can be dry within 24 hours. I'd love to give linseed a shot if I can curb the standard drying time for oil paints.

Williamsburg is generally linseed, and they're my favorite by a landslide, though they also have a safflower line which I hear is even more pleasing. To each their own, but you haven't lived until you've used Williamsburg's Italian Pink  .

Once saw a photo of I think a Burmese girl soldier wearing these bright pink slippers/flip flops. Tried to sketch something around the slippers image, came out all wrong. gently caress it, call this a "study"

Hee hee I'm not sure whether I wanna pet it or poke it in the eye. I also dig the tendon/bone wing frills on its feet. Something about the shape is just so pleasing. I'm going in blind, cover for me.

It's finally warm enough to sketch outside without losing feeling in my fingers, so I figure this is a good time to try doing it daily. Maybe I'll even draw on theme one of these days!

Went to a figure drawing session today. I used to be decent at quick poses after taking a class with a great instructor about 4 years ago. Not so much anymore! I won't post the very short ones but the first few are <5 minutes.  This one must have been an hour. I wasn't doing great with the overall pose and started focusing on a few details  Then got the pen out for some contours.  Sorry about the quality, these were too big for the scanner. Next time I might go for a pen or pencil and try to get a bit finer.

I've been illustrating some stuff I write, it's mostly going to be sketchy quick stuff and emphasized body language rather than lots of detail.
