Afro Samurai 1 (Fan Art)
I don't do a lot of fan art. As a matter of fact I don't do any at all. However I recently have been obsessed with Afro Samurai (parts 1 and 2). So I decided to get this out of my system and put this here. I approached these a little differently in the sense that I went back to painting on top of values again (even after I swore that I wouldn't). This is why these look a little different than my normal pieces. I am happy with these even though the color is off. In the long run I think that I can address that by painting on top of the color layers with straight painting and through using adjustment layers.
Anyway, more practice to come. Enjoy!

Jack of Hearts
Jack of Hearts piece completed!
I have started using "Pinterest" for all of my reference work and such. That can be found here if you want to get a sneak peek into the behind the scenes:
Enjoy!
Here is some Netsky to listen to while you enjoy looking at this one:

Thumbnail Explosion!!!!
Here are the latest thumbnails that I have pulled from my sketch book over the past month.
Rather than have them waste away in my note pad, I figured I would at least post them here for show.
I want to make paintings from all of them, but at least I can share the thumbnails. I might go back and paint a few of my favorites and post them later on.

Thumbnail Demo
Here is a quick thumbnail demo that I did a while back. I posted it elsewhere, but neglected to post it here. Enjoy!

Latest Thumbnails!
I am realizing now that blog posts are not just ways to post work, but also ways to make notes to myself when I want to go back and look up how I did something.
These are a series of thumbnails that I have been doing for Noah Bradley's class (i'm in week 6 of 12).
I found that since I am sketching and sketching and sketching, why not just use those as subjects for thumbnails rather than trying to come up with new thumbnail ideas each time, just paint the thumbnails of sketches that I have already completed.
So I basically have scanned a bunch of thumbnails from my notepad, then I do the following:
-bring the sketch into Photoshop (the scan)
-convert the layer to multiply
-block in color blocks "under" the multiply layer
-then paint on top
note: use a multiply layer to deepen shadows...but don't* use an overlay layer because it washes out the color.
That's it! Now I can use this as a reference for later on down the road. (Thumbnails posted below--note that the last two rows are effed up because I converted the layer to grey scale by mistake.):

Painting Process Finally!!
After 2 or 3 years I think that I have finally settled on a painting method, which is to paint on a base color layer and then build on top of that. I did two examples of the same painting as follows.
The first one is me painting on top of values and then adding color on top. The second one is me adding color layers on top of a base color layer. I have found that when I paint the second way, my work comes out much much better. When I paint on top of values in Photoshop, the end painting never ever comes out right. So this post is really a reminder to myself in the future when I get the urge to play around. Experimenation is cool, but don't paint on top of values, because it looks like shit.

More sketching practice...
I am in the middle of taking Chris Oatley's painting assignment class and am in between weeks 6 and 7. The focus is on exploring more shapes and forms. Just sketching freely and seeing what comes out. The next couple of posts are just a few examples.
