Working from Stock

So, I'm trying something new. Or at least...again. There is some awesomely amazing stock photos out there for reference and I'm hoping that practicing with them will help me iron out some issues with anatomy.

I've been working on sketches for the 100 Pic Challege.
Number 18 - Rainbow. You'd have to see the reference image, but let's just say, the socks say it all.



And number 35 - Hold My Hand. She's actually sitting under a waterfall. I figured I could try water too. And the light is amazing.

First Panel Done

It's nice to be able to do art more frequently.

I finished 'Uriel in Purple' as well as '01 Introduction' for my 100 Pic Challenge. The later was also simplified down to this for the first cell of the hopefully-upcoming graphic novel.



It really needs a name. I'll see what I can do about that. In the meantime, I hope to get some more sketches up for the 100 Pics and a friend and I are going to try a collaboration. We have vastly different styles, so I'm at least hoping for something interesting and different.

Studying

Like many artists, a graphic novel is in the works. But I have a lot of homework before then.


Hand Studies (for use in the 100 pic challenge which I have also picked up again.)



Because it seems that so many people in a post-apocalyptic world wear boots. Figure I should practice.

A long way to go, but it's a start.

My Little Corner of the Web

I'm in the process of trying to find myself again artistically. It's been a bit of a trip so far and I know there is a long road ahead. But I'm excited and hopefully this will help me stay on track.

I'll still post on my site at deviant Art but I'd like to keep it limited to stuff I actually finish. That leaves a lot of sketches and half-done stuff that's lying about. So now it finally has a home here. I'm going to try to post at least once a week, but hopefully it will be more frequent. We'll see how it goes.

I'm a bit all over the place with projects at the moment, so there should be a lot of variety in subject and technique. Please feel free to comment, I'm eager to hear thoughts and suggestions.
