There be dragons

GOT screencap study
This is a study of a still from Game of Thrones - about 2 hours.  The limited offering is because I was away last week in France so only got to do some sketchbook work.   I did get a chance to take some photos, among them was this little fellow, part of a bridges guard rail.

Different Ends

Different Ends 
So I was working on the lower image and it was taking forever.  At the end of a session I sketched out over the background and it went in a completely different direction.  The lower image is still not worked to a finish but this is as far as I will go. Will take what I have learned and put it in the next piece.

Work in progress- After Peder Monsted

Work in progress After Peder Monsted 

Didn't manage to close this out this week. Still a bit to go and I am really behind because this is Spring.  Most of the work on this lies in the detailing which is yet to come. Spurring me on to go and do some plein air.  Weather has been good of late so there may be opportunities.

Sketches -Big Suit

Some sketch book pages.  This book I fill up during lunchtime using a biro.  I am making my way through Hogarths dynamic anatomy and these doodles are interspersed.  Lots of guys - mostly big and ugly  - probably because all the anatomy is male. I have some other sketches which I will upload later.

Are you lost Boy?

Lost Boy?
Wanted to do something a little less demanding so had some fun with this.  

Doing some more serious studies alongside.  This is a study I did while Grigoriy Peppo  on twitch streamed  a study.  Sorry I did not write down who the original artist is but the original is exquisite.  While doing it I thought it could have been done yesterday - has a timeless feeling.

Stray

I wanted to make this cinematic -staged lighting feel.  I think I kind of stumbled into it eventually.  I worked on it in greyscale first.  I was happy enough with that then wrestled with the palette a lot. I also played with Stanley Artgerm Laus method of adding colour which offers a lot of control.  Will use this approach again. 

Big Bear Game Art
