A speedpaint of a foot of  2 hours effort.  Most of that was tickling those toes.  I don't think i nailed it but it was a sole effort.  The stock was from hannah-boaden  here

Study of The Gramaphone

Study of The Gramaphone



I did this photograph study to help with an image I am working on.  Did not labour to make an exact copy. The photo is from the library of congress collection which has some amazing and sometimes unexpected collections of images. Do you think this guy had heard recorded music before?

This started out as a doodle and went further than planned.  It took a while as the elements got juggled around.  It definitely drifted from that initial sketch and took quite a long time to finish.

Some more Avatar screenshots. Its not like I don't have any other movies I just figure that the shots would have been more heavily planned than some other movies so its worth doing this exercise with this one.  See how long I last -only 15 minutes in .  Some of these were quicker to do than varying between maybe 30 minutes  to 1 hour.  Faces are still hard for me.
