Creature Feature

Today is a little monster from my head. Just off the cuff, drawing and painting whatever popped into my mind.

Superman Sketches

I've always had a problem drawing Superman the way I see him in my head. So I took so time an did some reference to who I think of when I think of Superman and that would be actor, Gregory Peck.

A couple more speedpaints.

Daily Speedpaints.

I'm doing more and more work digitally. Usually a combination of Photoshop and Painter. Sometimes just Photoshop. For over a month now I've been doing a speedpaint a day. A speedpaint is just a quick painting in a short amount of time, say 30 minutes to an hour, which is usually how long I take. It's more of an exercise to work on your speed and decision making process in making a piece of art. I have a tendency to to hesitate and ponder and ponder and ponder what I want my next stroke to be instead of just doing it.

Anyway, I'm going to start posting a few of these from time to time. Some turn our really nice, others my mother wouldn't even love.

Sketchbook Pages!

I've added a new feature here on my blog. I've decided to start posting some of the pages out of my sketchbook. So I hope you enjoy.

Batman in the Rain

I watched the new animated Batman: Gotham Knights movie last night with a friend. It's a collection of animated shorts that tie together. They were ok with the exception of one called, "Working through the Pain" which was fantastic. One of the best Batman pieces I've every seen. The animation was wonderful to boot. So between that and the movie coming out soon I did this little sketch.
