Dr Sketchy Strikes Again!

These were drawn just over a week ago at Dr Sketchy in South Melbourne. They're very quick doodles - so don't expect too much:)

Getting SO ahead of myself!!!!!

Had a fantastic night of painting last night - and am now pretty sure I'll get it done by the end of the long weekend. YAY!

Well I've picked yet another photo to use as a reference for one of my four paintings. I love the Clash T she's wearing - and know that I'll have so much fun painting that bit:)

Take a look...

Getting ahead of myself................but what the hell:)

For my next painting I've selected a great photograph to work from. I've altered it slightly in Photoshop to give it an interesting look, which will hopefully be replicated in the painting. Here's the pic:


A Glimpse!

I've decided to give you a glimpse of my painting's progress. I'll show the rest a bit later on:)

Self Portrait Wednesday

Here's a quick one in photoshop...





Hide!

Still yet to find my glasses! So extreme squinting yet again:(

Had a great night painting last night - and will post a pic soon. I'm very very very happy with it so far, and can't wait to get back into it tonight!

Here's a quick cartoon I did last night for illustration Friday:

Painting, painting and more painting...

It's been a busy week painting every free second available. Still working on the acrylic piece, and have been so damn fussy while painting the face. Nearly done with it, I hope. Just a few final touches and it should be done....for now. I'm still getting the hang of acrylic, though have a much better understanding of how it works than when I began. I've decided I must get this one finished by the end of the coming long weekend. I have three more equally detailed pieces to complete by May, so time is everything! My wife Jemma has been very supportive though, as she surprised me by cleaning all the rubbish out of the spare room in order to give me more room to paint, and she even bought me more paints! She's been great, and very understanding about me spending all my time painting.

Will post a pic tomorrow....

PS: If I've made any errors with my spelling or grammar - it's only because left my reading glasses at home! I'm squinting big time! The computer screen is a blur!
