Master study of John Singer Sargent's Madame-X
Master study after John Singer Sargent. I focused on skin tone, economy of brushstroke, and edges.

Get Carter Rocket Raccoon. This Is a sketch cover I made for a birthday present for my brother. I am like a month late with it, but i did originally have It planned haha.
First time I have touched Oil paint in 3 years.
First time i have touched oil paint in 3 years. I figured this would get me back into the swing of things! Wish I had a little better photo quality.
Female Celtic Warrior Portrait
A portrait of a female Celtic warrior done with minimal reference. This is the product of head construction.
Squirrelpool Photobomb
A bit of a Squirrelpool remix. Photobomb edition.
Portrait Sketch 5
This is the 5th portrait sketch. I wanted to give Kyle T. Webster's oil brushes another go to see if I could start to achieve the painterly look I strive for.
Charcoal Sketch 4
Charcoal Sketch 4. another charcoal on newsprint.
Third Charcoal portrait sketch
The third charcoal portrait sketch of the year. Another Charcoal on Newsprint.
Second Charcoal portrait sketch
I thought it would be a nice challenge to try rendering a person of darker skin color. It was definitely more challenging. Doing the skin tones is like working in reverse. I was afraid the value would be to muddled, or the head would turn out to flat. I am pleased with the result though.
Charcoal Portrait Sketch
This is the first charcoal portrait for the beginning of the year. Hopefully I can get in the habit of posting these more often. I am going to try to get one done atleast every other day.
Squirrel pool
Squirrelpool is an unstoppable killing machine. He kicks ass, and eats acorns… and he is all out of acorns!
I decided to do something different as a break from doing figures, and studies. It was something fun, and crazy so I had to depict it. Everyonce in awhile during the process I would just stop, and laughs at the ridiculousness of this creature.
An old drawing I tried to experiment with and Freshen up.
This was an old drawing i did a few years back I tried to freshen up. It reminded me that is just better off re-drawing something. It was really hard to stamp out all of the quirks of the old drawing. I still didn't completely. I still see wonky things. Overall it was a nice experiment in loose brushwork, value, and color chroma. I think you could flip a coin either way on it being to sloppy, or considered loose. With this one I tried to experiment with a warm underpainting. The whole thing glows warm because of this. I think the colors are probably overall to saturated In all the wrong places. I still though I would share.
A Prud'hon Warm up
It is not exactly spot on in the likeness, but that really was not my concern. The piece was done as more of a warm-up. A experiment with Chalk, and Charcoal. It was done on Newsprint. I was surprised the paper held up to the abuse I was giving it. I worked on it for a couple hours and decided I to put it down. I thought I would share!
Lando Sketch cover I did for MCBA fall-con
A Sketch cover in graphite I made for the MCBA Fall-Con I was a part of. If anyone is interested in purchasing do not be shy to shoot me an email.
Some head Pencil Sketches
I was practicing head construction. Here are a couple drawings that came out of this exercise.
My first digital still life painting!
This is a still life i set up, and did a digital painting of! It was definitely a different experience digitally painting from life. I enjoyed it very much,
Anatomy and Value Study number two
This is another value and anatomy study, this time I chose a male body. It is a MLB pitcher from a past ESPN body issue. I wanted to do another back muscle study because of all it's complexities. I figured one of the most mechanical ways the body works is when a Baseball pitcher is going through his delivery motion.
A Value and Anatomy Study
A value, and anatomy study using Kyle T. Webster's oil brush's. I really do like the texture, and feel of his brush set. They feel, and look incredibly natural.
Another Stylized portrait of a woman
This is another stylized portrait that I decided to do. I like the lines following the contour in the shadow shapes. This one is little more subtle than my last post. I still need to work on line quality to get the subtle touches that I want. I tend to be heavy handed, which I think is a direct result of me always wanting to stab my tablet with the stylus.
