Drawin' 100 somethings. Again.

braden H

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.

@smceccarelli

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.

Wow, I love these. Your style is so refined and unique. Love it, love it, love 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!

Gary Wilkinson

@art-of-b lovely piece, but i'm feeling sorry for all those ants

Elizabeth Rose

Really been enjoying seeing your process. Love the energy and movement!

Jon Anderson

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.

@jon-anderson

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.

The prompt was 'jackal' so I had to seize the opportunity to draw a dnd monster XD

@art-of-b I totally agree with what @smceccarelli said. Great shape language throughout all of your pieces. And really cool to see the process you take to color something! Keep up the good work; it's making me want to try the Draw 100 Somethings.
