Plz have a crisis more often, this is fantastic. How big is it? That's some impressive edge control.

A+ linework, I love his nubbly sharp teeth.

Yes, I'd like a drop with my sugar please. Did you make this for the birdarm thread? It's really good!

Borb borb borb

Thanks. Which bird arm thread? I made it randomly years ago and found out later about the subreddit.

Here is some (lovely) content.

Painting a mural and struggling with the skin. Acrylic glazes can be hard. Especially when we are talking glazes several feet in size. It's above a local bar. I plan on using masking tape and contact paper / spray paint for the mandala.

I use floetrol which is something like 14 bucks a gallon and works just as well as any acrylic medium IMO.
The thing is something like 8 foot in width so I need a lot.

Making skin from glazes is especially difficult at that size. The pearl I wanted to use for the highlights ended up being too much and much more luminescent / cool in tone than expected.

Thank you! I love toned paper with black and white charcoal or colored pencils. The paper provides the mid tones naturally.

More work on the mural.

Went back and worked on that old sketch again.

I sometimes wonder how much 2d concept work is necessary before just jumping into 3d. Like... am I just reworking the 2d stuff when I know I should be spending time just doing it right in 3d?

When does prototyping become procrastinating?

Adding color to the mandala. Sorry about the blurry pic. It is metallic blue. I also have metallic purple and green. Just not sure which should be the outer vs. inner colors.

Day two of inktober.

Ballpoint and copics. FYI alchohol based markers will make ballpoint ink bleed if you don't wait long enough for it to dry. Woops.

Learn better anatomy. Go regularly to figure drawing sessions, or just get your friends to pose for you. Feel good about getting better with some kind of daily progress towards realism. Remember that "style" is just a byproduct of hard work / consistent practice. Most people are rarely very happy with their work on the first pass. "Stay thirsty, my friend!"

Life drawing.

Inktober 19 is "Blind and Dirty"

I am a little behind.

I have returned to this Hell Site. Here are some arts:

Welcome back. Some of those are GREAT. Love the girl / eyeball for example.

Two more for inktober. Almost caught up.

Adding a background via ink wash. This was not done in photoshop.

It's "denril" - which is translucent and lots of fun to draw on. I can't explain it other than to say it handles ink like nothing else. Still getting used to the surface qualities. Ink takes MUCH longer to dry out because the surface isn't very porous at all but rather slick / plastic.
