Digital Still Life

A two-hour study done in my friend Jason Scheier's Introduction to Digital Painting class at Concept Design Academy. This was really fun because we had so many white objects (Asaro head, skeleton, paper, etc.) to capture the three different gelled lights aimed at our still life setup. The lighting was quite challenging, but I think I survived just fine! I learned quite a bit!

Digital Studies

I'm still alive and I'm still drawing. Most of my doodles are on newsprint or in a sketchbook, which I'm too busy to photograph these days. However, I'd like to keep the cobwebs off this page and sweep the old stuff under the rug, so here's a new post.

Below are a few digital studies from life and reference done over the past couple of months. The portraits are based off of black-and-white images from the Fairburn System of Visual Reference, a classic set of reference volumes for illustrators. I'm starting to develop a good process for painting digitally using a minimal set of tools.

I plan on doing more of these.
