This took quite a while to finish. Lots of stuff to think about and solve.  Not all of it so successfully but I figure if it was hard I must have been learning something.  So on to the next one.

Self Portrait Day 2013

Self Portrait 2013

November 1st rolled around International self portrait day and I had a go again.  I completed a version on the day and posted it on conceptart.org.  Truth be told I did it at the end of the day and was exhausted so not my best effort.  I spent a little more time at the weekend to bring it to a more satisfactory state.    Self portraits are tough.

Rembrandt did a number of self portraits through his life.  They have been put together in this video.  The power of his work is in evidence as for me I get a sense of the man who painted each one of these as he experienced a rise and wane in fortunes.

Getting some figure studies in. The references were from  the Croquis Cafe (NSFW).  Takes a while to loosen up and get into these after a long break.

Messing around with shapes and colours. 

Motorcycle speedpaint

A motorcycle speedpaint of about  2 hours.  The reference is from Speed-Stock on DA.  
The action is captured on Livestream. Wheels are hard to get right.

In Control

Did this a while back and did not post.  This random doodling phase is throwing up all kinds of stuff or maybe just encouraging some throwing up.

Mountain Man

 Had another go at a character.  A crack fighter pilot...nah a mountain man.  Just by coincidence I stumbled across a site Creation Nation that sells little dolls of historical figures.  The resemblance to Davey Crockett is striking.
