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.

30 Paintings in 30 Days…Again…Day 1

Dick Tracy small

Well, here we go again.  I believe this is the third time I have taken on the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge at https://www.saetastudio.com/30-in-30-blog.  This time might be harder than the others because I’m coming into it without a plan.  I just recently decided to join in and I have no idea what I’m going to paint.  Usually I like to have a few pieces ready before hand to use as a cushion, but that’s not really the case this month.  One thing I am planning to do is finish some paintings that I have started but not finished.  Some of these will include some larger paintings.  Another idea I have to do some studies of work from artists I admire.  So, this month might be quite the hodge podge of pieces.  I guess we will just roll with it.

Day 1’s painting is a 5″x6″ painting of Dick Tracy as portrayed by Warren Beatty from the 1990 film, Dick Tracy.  Its is a mix of different painting media; acrylic, gouache and oil paints.  After I did the drawing on the illustration board, I did a wash of yellow acrylic paint over the whole piece.  Over that, I used black gouache for the under painting and the rest is all oil paints.

In my mind I was thinking I wanted to go for a Norman Rockwell feel to the painting, which I don’t feel came out in the piece.  I have been watching one of Quang Ho’s instructional dvds and the brush strokes, to me, feel more like his than Rockwell’s.  That said, I did really enjoy the process of painting this piece.
