Transparent

This piece was based off the much quicker version seen earlier in the Various verticals post. Really trying to play with textures here, the helmet is pitted and worn, there is a bit of a grain texture in the bones. Thinking the next piece won't be about a diver.

Down The Hall (wip)

A work in progress update, here's a working drawing for a new piece I'm making for an art exchange with a friend of mine. This is the final working drawing, with basic value shapes and very general value scale in place. I tend to work out the final nuances of value as i work on teh final pushing and pulling as needed.

Fish, clouds and various verticals....

Here is the complete set of book mark experiments so far. Gotta say the fish are my favorite so far, as purely technical exercises they are a lot of fun there is something about the shiny segmented heads and the shapes found there that is really beautiful. These are all bait fish by the way, top we have Mackerel, Anchovy, Sardine, Minnow and Ballyhoo.



These clouds were referenced from pictures I took while in Hawaii for the first time, truly the land of epic clouds!


And lastly we have the "various verticals" mostly just playing with materials and effects here.
