@smceccarelli Cheers to the behind the scenes work.

The AD recovered enough to approve the sketches - so now moving on with a pretty cool educational project. Badly paid, but lots of fun...Only a sneak detail shot...

Haha - Pineapple.
It's pretty rad to hear your behind the scenes work.

Thanks ladies for the feedback - I'm finally starting to get what the teachers mean when they talk about colors interacting with each other to communicate glow (and how they change when laid down next to each other).

A Hellboy I sculpted this year. One of my references and finished sculpt.
It's about 6 inches tall, pictures make it look bigger.

I’ve been playing around with a part scribble, part crosshatch look. Trying to get a soft feel to it.

Sooo in an effort to shove myself completely out of my comfort zone ( which for me is away from people) I signed up for 2 classes at a local community arts organization. I attended my first ever life drawing class last night which was so incredibly intimidating cos everyone had clearly done it before. But by the end of the evening it was clear I was going to learn a lot! And I met some like minded people who were fun.

@missmushy You GO!! That's great. I hear you about the life drawing class--it is intimidating! I went to my first recently--and the model goes through these really fast poses and he switches after like a minute and I've drawn two lines!! NOOOOO slow down!! Ha ha!!

[MissMushy]

@eli right? I barely got a new sheet of paper ready and they were switching to the next thing. Not to mention the charcoal I got all over my face- not sure how that happened looked like an extra from Mary Poppins

[Eli]

@missmushy I don't think you're really doing the class properly unless you are covered in charcoal.

[MissMushy]

@Eli true

This is party animals my next painting. Halloween is by far my favorite subject to paint so I try to get at least five pieces done in October

@adrian-k
This reads so beautifully and is so delicate! I especially love the treatment of the webs

[burvantill]

@adrian-k I love this! That mouse its so cute and that spider is creeping me out! Wait! Thats not Samwise?! Even better now! LOVE IT! I thought Frodo at first, but Sam carried everything. So great! I hope you do more of this. I'm a LOR nerd. lol.

@eli @MissMushy Speed drawing! We did those for our warm ups in school. About 10 1 minute poses. It definitely gets you out of your head because you have absolutely no time to think. Lol!

[Adrian K]

@kaitlinmakes thank you so much.

[Adrian K]

@burvantill thank you for your comment, I wasn't sure this kind of cross over would work, it's good to hear it did

[burvantill]

Had another artsy day with @kaitlinmakes today down by the river. We are practicing our plein air. This is a value study. I thought I would get better at value and then tackle color again. I have to say that I am using my son's old elementary school water color paint set, lol. I am currently making a travel watercolor kit out of an Altoid mint tin box and my GOOD paints. So next month my plein air will be a little less... well let of YIKES and more of OOH. LOL. =)x

@nyrrylcadiz I think I read that you can get a program to connect your iPad to your computer & use it to draw in Photoshop. So that might be an option for you. Sorry I don't know much about it--I don't have an iPad, but I'm thinking about buying one!

[Miriam]

@tessaw I didn't see the labels for the emotions at first, so when I looked at the first image, I tried to think of what the emotion might be & I would have picked "anticipation", so you really nailed it! (I clued in by the time I saw the second image, so no uninformed guesses for those.) The others are really good, too.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@miriam yeah, i’ve heard about it too. However, i don’t have an apple laptop so i still can’t use photoshop with my ipad. It’s alright though. Procreate is more than enough ( when it comes to digital drawing/paiting that is). I’m still holding out hope that they add a text tool in procreate. Hehe
