Inktober-Day 10

inktober-10

Today’s drawing for Inktober is of the character, Influence from the Dick Tracy movie.  There are a lot of great characters from that film that I plan on drawing this month.  I think part of the appeal of drawing these characters is the original Dick Tracy comic strip.  I really enjoy the art style and the inking of those original strips.

Inktober-Day 4

inktober-4

As I was drawing this I started to wonder why they call the little alien that bursts out of it’s human host’s stomach, a chest burster?

Inktober-Day 2

The Wicked Witch of the West

I decided to go with the Wicked Witch for today’s Inktober drawing after seeing some other drawings on Instagram for the month challenge.  The artists had made a list of subjects for each day of this month and witches was one of them.  I instantly thought of this beauty and decided to go with it.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 30

free

                            She Changed Her Mind (And Her Feelings For Me)

  This is the last painting for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.  I made it through the whole month and didn’t miss a day.  While, I’m proud that I hit the 30 paintings mark, I’m not sure I am completely happy with the results.  I could see that my interest was waning in the last week or so with most paintings.  And a lot of it was because I was growing bored with doing quick paintings. I did enjoy working with watercolor paints quite a bit this month and I’m not sure where to go next because I also would like to do more oil paintings (like today’s painting) and gouache.  I was hoping at the end of this challenge I would walk away knowing what paint media I would like to go to in the future.  Today’s painting is one that has been around for a couple of months and it has been a struggle.  I struggled with the subject matter and the technique.  But, I made myself finish it last night  just in case I wussed out on sharing it today.

  I can say that for October, I will be participating in challenge of doing an ink drawing everyday of the month.  It’s an online challenge called Inktober.  Much like the 30 Days challenge, I’m heading into it by the seat of my pants, with nothing predrawn.  So, we will see what comes out of it.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 25

indiana-jones-25

Here we have a watercolor painting of Indiana Jones.  I did not initially plan to do this piece just in black and white, but as I started laying in the black shadows i just kind of kept going with it.  I think it turned out alright.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 24

skull-24

This was more of a study and less of a make a good painting kind of day.  I am still playing around with gouache paint, trying to decide on which I prefer more, watercolor or gouache paints.  At this point I feel like I get better results with watercolor paints.  And the reason why I painted a skull today?  I was listening to Chris Oatley talk about how a good exercise to do is to draw a skull a day for a while so I thought I would give it a go.
