Hookah WIP 01

 

Three WIP shots of the painting I'm currently working on, the hookah smoking caterpillar. I thought it would be fun to make a more realistic version of the character, and used a monarch caterpillar as reference. They have really nice coloration and patterns for the color pallet I wanted to use. The furthest left is the mockup I did in PS, which I've never done before (I don't really paint that often, anyway). It happened to help a lot. The painting itself is still in its very rough stage, blocking out colors and shades.

sketchbook 01

Thought I should kick this thing off to a decent start. Here's a page from my sketchbook I did yesterday.

Just wanted to doodle a minotaur (well, something with horns, really). Then I thought it would be cool to have some fun inking, so I did. Then I decided, hell why not, might as well color it for some practice. I havn't done a marker and colored pencil piece like this in a while. I'm glad I did, because the coloring work is what I'm most pleased with. His pose is less than exciting, though.

First blog post! This is me (as a kid). Hopefully my kid-face will be enough persuasion for you to continue reading this thing.
