      Anywhere between 1.5 - 3.5 hours or so depending on how much I like it.

          1. Dog.

          First time I saw a Tibetan Mastiff I thought it was a lion crossed with a bear.

            22 - Toad. I think I'll polish this one. I think it'll work out.

              WIP. So close to a process that's replicable and works.

              It looks dark right now because I'm constraining my values to 128 or under. It'll brighten up during the final paint.

                Awesome pieces! I like how you distort the characters a bit to make the feeling of movement stronger. Do you always work on greyscale and add color later?

                  Thanks!

                  I'm trying to work as much as I can in greyscale before adding colour. It seems to really help.

                  What I used to do was lay in local colour then fiddle with value using multiply and overlay layers. I'm getting a lot more success with a value painting and a colourize layer.

                      Thanks 🙂

                      i sincerely doubt I'll get all the way to 100, but I'll at the very least get a few portfolio pieces out of the deal.

                        These are really great! Love your shape language and the linework. I was toying with the idea of doing 100 animals too, but ah...time.
                        BTW, do you know Chris Ayers´ books “The Daily Zoo”? He drew an animal a day for a year when he was in remission from leukemia and it was so successful (and so therapeutic) that he went on to do it for further three or four years.

                          Thank you!

                          I'm finding less and less time myself. So many things to work on, so little time.

                          I have not looked at Chris Ayers' books, but I absolutely will! Thanks for suggesting. My library of artists is surprisingly small and I'm working to expand it.

                                I love these! The shapes and light. And the toad's eyes. And that hapless little bug--please tell me his parents saved him!

                                I look forward to seeing more of these!

                                      I really love your style and totally wish I could render like you do. Did I read that you use Corel Painter instead of Photoshop? I had the "lite" version of Painter years ago but when that laptop crashed I couldn't figure out how to transfer it to the new. I wasn't very good with it at the time but I remember thinking it was cool.

                                        Thanks 🙂

                                        I do use Painter, but if I could go back in time I'd try and convince myself to learn photoshop instead.

                                        A lot of the time I've spent learning painter has been trying to replicate things that photoshop can do XD.

                                            These are looking great! Really dig the style and movement you're conveying.
