Doodle Potpourri

I've been hesitant to post the more sketchy stuff for some reason, only wanted to show the cream of the crop - but that's dumb and updates are far an few in between. So from now on I'll update more :)

So, you will see some quicker dirtier stuff stuck in with the usual ;)

Here is a big "I'm sowee" dump:

This first one is for my good friend Victoria Maderna:

New Batch

These are from today and yesterday, lot's of painting :)

Just returned from a weekend trip to Southern Utah visiting family. Soaked up a lot of imagery while I was down there, such beautiful and unique landscapes. Anyways, was good to have a break ;)

Any questions? Always happy to try and answer :)

Just Playing

Just playing on these, same sort of techniques - some new twists but I feel my enthusiasm waning. Time for something new ;). I think I'm going to do the OFDW at CGTalk, some other studies. Maybe it's time to break out the paints again? Can't wait for spring, can finally go outside and draw without frostbite.

Oh, you might have noticed a new face to the blog. Played with this for several hours today, who knows if this is what I stick with or not; was fun to play around. Just a template that I customized and altered a bit, this html and etc. makes my head hurt.

Anyways, more unfinished doodles -

Today's Doodles

Just some quicker doodles today; trying the same techniques as below but with quicker monochrome sketches. Using color balance and a few other tricks to stretch that a bit. Nothing special really, didn't even feel like fleshing these out - just playing with shapes. Let's just say, keyword: half-assed.

I do like the limited palette, almost duotone on these - so simple but can be so convincing. Will also need to play with the lone robot and master idea, they can be my anchor in cityscapes perhaps.
