Artist Promotion


 



Title: Artist Promotion
Medium: pencil
Scale: Varies

Notes: Following suit with the previous post, if you've followed me for any amount of time, you know how often I randomly sketch during lunch breaks. I have to do this to maintain any semblance of sanity. Here's a few of the quick sketches that I did during my lunch breaks over the week.

In order: 


Try to spend your day today being productive!

Title: Warm-up Portraiture
Medium: Graphite

Notes: Every day as a warm-up lately I've been going on twitter and whoever happens to be the top post for that time that I look for a portrait of them and use them as a warm-up sketch. It's a fun little exercise and keeps my pencil moving...

Digital Painting: Speed Paintings








Title: Digital Painting: Speed Painting
Date: August 29, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CC
Scale: Each 'piece' varies.

Notes: I've never really done applied speed painting before, and I can say that this exercise was REALLY fun to do, albeit extremely difficult. 
First, let me preface with saying that each one was timed, in a reverse progression. We started with the thirty-minute painting and worked our way down to five minutes. The bottom-most piece (Donatello) was the first, and then they go in reverse order from there, scaling down by five minutes each. I think it was only natural that the objects become more simple as the time was reduced, but some people really gave it a try even at the five-minute mark.
Either way, we all powered our paintings down and there wasn't much fuss. It was really fun to do, and I actually want to try and do these more often. I think setting a time limit really helps!
