Fairy House
1 Comment   art
There are so many cute houses for fairies out there that I just had to make my own. I had the idea to create a fairy house (town?) on the side of a tree using the types of mushrooms you see growing there. I drew this on my Samsung tablet and I honestly don't think it would have come together without the ability to zoom in and out to get all those little details. Paper can only take so...

I'm really enjoying this method of drawing, it takes away that worry that you're going to royally mess...

Faded, a new art print
1 Comment   art, Portfolios
My latest art print, Faded, was an interesting process and didn't end up as I expected it to. When I drew the line art, I knew that I wanted to do a very dramatic lighting with this piece, her sultry expression demanded it.On my other pieces I started out with a base color in the area I was working on and build up my colors, this was similar but instead of building up highlights,...

Art is always an evolution and lately I've been playing around in my Ballpoint Pen Sketchbook, seeing if I could get something part way between my realistic style and my Odd style. Here's what I came up with... What do you think?An need smish of both worlds.

Stars Speed Painting Process Video
0 Comments   art, Digital Painting, speed coloring
I realized while working on my 2 latest art prints that digital painting has come a crazy long way since I made my last big piece in 2003. Photoshop 5.5 was the program I worked with (not CS5 like now lol that's like 10 versions ago) then and techniques have really evolved. Consequently I am relearning as I go and really don't know if my way is the best way (is it ever? ha) to do it but even if...
