Figure Painting

I finally got some stuff back from my Figure Painting class from last semester! Here's two of the outside assignments.

Sketch Sketch Sketch DRAW DRAW DRAW

Hey all! These are some sketches I've been doing over break. Lady in the top left hand corner is Yuckie Warbucks. She's a character I'm working on-- I'm slowly planning an Kid-In-All-Of-Us adult childrens book...

I actually saw a guy like this pass us in a car. He was driving one of those GIANT pick up trucks. I laughed.

Flipping through my old sketchbooks, i always come across a character in this pained creeper position...

I was drawing this when we were driving around this whole campus of a shut down crazy people home in Columbia, South Carolina. It was incredible... it was like a ghost town smack dab in the middle of South Carolina's capital...

Love On Top

I watched Benjamin Button for the first time. That line was a good one...

She'll eat your cabin fever.

More Digital Practice

This one was fun. I'm looking forward to playing with my tablet more and more. As opposed to dreading learning a new medium. The more I play with it the more fun this seems to explore.

Digital Practice

Hey there! I know it's been a little while--I've been on vacation from school. I did two paintings for Christmas presents thus far (some more to come for after-Christmas presents). When school ended for the semester I was kind of comatose for a few days... The paintings were rushed so I won't be posting them.

I'm in the south currently and its EXTREMELY different from what I'm used to. It's warm. No snow. At. All. I'm having a bit of trouble deciphering whether or not I'm okay without the frigid North's inconvenient but lovable winter.


My family and I have been taking a lot of car trips to places here and there throughout the Carolinas. So, I've been drawing up a storm and probably will post some of the sketches when i get back. I've got my next painting planned to get started with reference pictures and what not. I've also been trying my hand at digital work. Not a lot, just a little bit. I'm pretty lousy at digital painting, but i'm practicing! Here's a doodle I've been working on tonight.

I know I should be doing still life's and what not, but i figured a made up portrait would help familiarize myself with the pick and choose color business that comes with digital painting.

I hope you all have been having a great time on your holidays! It's now the new year and I wish you all the best of luck with it! I know I'll be working my tooshie off to be the best i can.

See you at the races,
Tommy
