Snacking Bear COLORS! sketch

I painted this in bed while watching Kung Fu Panda last night. Definitely getting better in colors as I'm learning more about painting.

Cannon Beach

From my memory, imagination and with a little photo reference to try and nail how the light works on the clouds (but not copied from a photo).

Edit: This is my 100th post and I can't think of a better painting to celebrate with :)

2nd movie poster

Huggo Movie poster. This is intentionally a little cheesy. I am trying to make this feel a little magical and not from the eyes of a jaded young adult.

Artifice WIP

Here is the new version of the recent "Artifice" WIP painting. The earlier sketch had too many little distracting details so I am focusing first on pairing everything down to basic forms. So far it's not too pleasing to look at but I feel like it's a good step in the right direction.

Painting from life: Out the front window

Updated: Huggo the Hippo

Here is the final Huggo painting (pending any minor tweaks) as his eyes look a little too intense. While painting I've fallen in love with the idea of giving him two tone irises. My biggest challenge in this revision was to make him more crisp and readable as well as to make the lighting feel more real and make more sense.

SNORE. DROOL. GRUNT.
