Everyone’s Favorite Green Clad Hero
Painting 9 of 30: Some Toadstools and Link This is my first (real) attempt at something approaching fan art. It’s Link from Legend of Zelda. With some poisonous mushrooms (no doubt being gathered for that crazy witch to use in her potion.)
Falcon
Painting 8 of 30: Surprised Falcon Sorry for not posting this yesterday, I was on an all day adventure and didn’t get home until late at night. This is actually two separate pieces that make up the same piece, I just combined them in Photoshop against a plain background. It’s collage and acrylic. When I [...]
My Favorite Muppet
Painting 7 of 30: The Great Gonzo
Creatures One Might Find Inside My Head
Painting 6 of 30: Carl I don’t really know what inspired me to paint this, it just sort of…was. It’s name is Carl. Done using acrylic on Bristol paper (again.)
Little Fish, Little Fish
Painting 5 of 30: Aquatic Erasers Just some quick little gouache paintings of erasers I have. I wanted to to something quick to make up for all the time I spent on the piece from yesterday that would also allow me to use gouache again. It was a little bit easier this time around and [...]
A Painted Horse(head)
Painting 4 of 30: Carousel Horse Study So…I know I said I wasn’t going to spend more than 3 hours on one piece but…this obviously took me more than 3 hours (I’d say at least 7 or 8). I started doing the drawing and then I started painting and I was like “Hey, this is [...]
Polar Bear Baby
Painting 3 of 30: Polar Bear Cub I painted this on wood, which is something I haven’t worked on in a long time. It was fun but very nerve-racking, since if you mess-up, you kinda have to live with it. It also gave me a chance to work in a way that I don’t usually, [...]
A Colorful Landscape
Painting 2 of 30: Experiments in Gouache I’ve been wanting to play around with gouache for a while now, so here is my first attempt at it. I learned a lot just from this little painting, like if you accidentally drop you’re paintbrush on it, you can’t just wipe it off like on an acrylic [...]
It Came From Planet Meow
Painting 1 of 30: Space Cat Ever since I saw the picture of this cat that I used for reference, I’ve wanted to paint it. And so I did. I wanted to play with the colors to make it less “real” cat and more “Space Cat”. I imagine that this cat would probably come from [...]
A Very Important Announcment!
I FINALLY GOT A SCANNER! WOOOOOooooooOOO! Break out the party hats! In honor of this I’ve decided to do something fun, for me and hopefully for you too. For the next 30 days I’m going to do one painting (taking no longer than 3 hours to complete) each day and post it on my blog [...]
