Time of day change I used the reference (right) to paint but changed the time of day to sunset. How did I do? #art #digitalart #painting #practice #study #sunset #mountains #Colorado #sky #clouds #timelapse

Sunrise At a specific time of the morning there is this green hue between the orange and blue that's gorgeous. Unfortunately it doesn't show up in photographs so I had to paint the sky from memory. #art #digitalart #painting #sunrise #silhouette #countryside #morning #timelapse

LaunchesKayaks Pho-commission. I was asked if I do them, and I don't. But I like to take requests and that's what this is. She asked me to paint her and her horse. My first time painting a horse. #art #digitalart #commission #painting #request #portrait #timelapse

Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo Love the first few movies and the new TV show. I need to go back and watch these again! Sigourney Weaver is a badass! #art #digitalart #painting #portrait #alien #aliens #space #movie #fanart #sigourneyweaver #timelapse

Rockey Mountains Took the reference photo on a walk with my wife and a close friend. It was gorgeous and so quiet. We could hear the wind work its way up the mountain side to us as it rushed through the trees. #art #digitalart #painting #mountains #peaceful […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Spring Saw this branch on my walk this morning. I love spring, it's my favorite season. I love that I can paint some of it now. #art #digitalart #painting #spring #flowers #pink #timelapse

Spring Tree This is in our neighborhood. Took a picture to paint later, it's later. #tree #art #digitalart #painting #spring #bloom #blooming #flowers #flowering #flower #timelapse

Flower Power My mom loves painting flowers, I love painting people. This is kind of an homage to her. The flowers aren't nearly as good as what she paints. #art #digitalart #painting #flowers #flower #woman #African #black #beautiful #timelapse

Abandoned Shack I spent so much time painting individual blades of grass and leaves. I normally don't do that, I try to fake it. But the reference image was very much about all the foliage and the shack was just the anchor. Thoughts? #art #digitalart […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Barn This barn, RV, and grain silo are at the edge of our subdivision. I just noticed yesterday how nice it would be to paint. So I did. #art #digitalart #painting #barn #RV #silo #landscape #buildings #timelapse

AN-E-MAL! You watch one Chad Smith video and YouTube thinks you wanna be a drummer. This is a Chad Smith inspired Animal creation. That's why he's wearing Chad's hat. #art #digitalart #painting #muppet #muppets #drum #drumming #drummer #animal #chadsmith #redhotchilipeppers #timelapse

Oceanic Sunrise Another experiment in colors and style. Thoughts? If you watch the timelapse, is there a point where I should have stopped? If so, when? #art #digitalart #sunrise #Ocean #color #colorful #surrealistic #timelapse

Smoke Filled Sunset My mom took the picture I used as a reference during fires here. While terrible and unfortunate it did make for a pretty sunset. #art #digitalart #painting #sunset #smoke #fire #bench #timelapse

One hat, two renders I painted the blue background one first and was happy with it until I looked at it later. I repainted it and I like the orange background one better. Fun fact I was laid off today due to AI after I painted it so the clown theme is […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Plein Air Barn My mom and I went plein air painting today. We love barns. She walks her dog near this I've occasionally so we decided to paint it. #art #digitalart #painting #pleinair #barn #landscape #trees #outside #grass #touchgrass #openair #timelapse

Flower Dress My wife said this painting made her happy to look at. Which gave me tippy taps! It was a lot of fun as well. #art #digitalart #painting #portrait #dress #flowers #fashion #style #pretty #woman #brunette #timelapse

Red Dress I don't think I got the bottom part / train of the dress quite right. It's supposed to be huge frilly volumfull things. #art #digitalart #portrait #painting #dress #reddress #woman #pretty #brunette #timelapse

Hazel Eyes Tried to push the proportions on the reference and play with the painting style a bit. Thoughts? #art #digitalart #portrait #eyes #study #woman #pretty #timelapse

Longs Peak Reference is a photo my Mom took. This is her favorite mountain here in Colorado. She's taken so many pictures of it. She loves my painting of it. #art #digitalart #painting #Colorado #mountain #timelapse

Cozy Tried another, working hard to make it look like real watercolor. I pushed the colors a bit further than the reference but not as far as the last two. What about this tells you it's probably not a watercolor? #art #digitalart #watercolor #portrait […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Gaze After doing the last false color I had to do another. This is a ton of fun! It's closer to the kind of art I tend to buy! #art #digitalart #painting #model #portrait #gaze #eyecontact #woman #beautiful #India #timelapse

Cigar I didn't get the whiskers right. The color is far too uniform. But his eyes are delightful. #art #digitalart #painting #cigar #oldman #old #man #beard #relaxing #relax #African #africanamerican #timelapse

Reflection I don't think I can express how much I love the reference I used for this. The lighting is spectacular. #art #digitalart #painting #lights #lighting #light #glasses #portrait #woman #pretty #attractive #timelapse

Velvet Because this gentleman is clearly as smooth as. I don't know what it is but white hair is my thing. Being a bald man maybe I'm just envious? #art #digitalart #africanamerican #cool #smooth #blues #slick #Velvet #whitehair #sunglasses #timelapse

Skin I tried really hard to capture the warmth, nuance, and beauty of the models skin and subtracting everything else. I think I did the best I have with hard and soft edges as well. What do you think? #art #digitalart #portrait #skin #black #African […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Hush The reference model is wearing a black dress on a black background but not pure lightless black. I decided to push it and to give her skin a little sparkle to imply something supernatural. How'd I do? #art #digitalart #painting #Asian #woman #black […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Eye Contact Simplification is the game with art. And I wanted to do something with more detail than I normally include. Looks like a real face. #art #digitalart #portrait #eyecontact #eyes #brunette #lips #woman #attractive #timelapse

Red Hair Trying to do something a little more stylized and less "photographic". The model's hair is in a bun and is also in gray scale. So a change this big is a big deal for me. #art #digitalart #painting #red #redhair #ginger #hat #portrait #model #timelapse

All Hail the Queen! When you absolutely must paint something over the top fabulous, you must paint drag queens!!! #art #digitalart #painting #queen #drag #dragqueen #red #pink #fabulous #timelapse

Farmers Daughter Continuing to enjoy the new brush I made to paint. #art #digitalart #model #portrait #painting #farm #woman #timelapse

Red Leather Pants I've been saving this reference for when I felt confident enough to tackle it. That day is today. But I had to make my own brush (for the first time) to get the results I wanted. Thoughts? You'll notice I paint a few times then lose my […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Cabin at Night Turns out the live model painting has been delayed until June. I need a pallet cleanser from all the pencil drawings. Found this reference and thought it was fantastic. #art #digitalart #painting #cabin #woods #landscape #study #timelapse

E=MC² Several years ago I read a book on famous quotes and did the person actually say it. Turns out Einstein didn't say his famous quote on doing the same thing over and over again exactly. Since then I've thought about painting him, and now I have! #art […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Bust Practice Pushing a bit beyond faces while practicing for live model sessions. #art #digitalart #drawing #model #portrait #bust #woman #striking #pencil #timelapse

Hair Saw this reference image and really wanted to paint her hair. Afterwards I'm thinking maybe it's a bit on the Karen side...? #art #digitalart #pencil #drawing #hair #portrait #timelapse

Crystal Mill We took my mom here for her birthday. It's a place she'd been wanting to photograph for a long time. It was a fantastic trip! #art #digitalart #painting #landscape #scenery #Colorado #crystalmill #mountains #Forest #abandon #abandoned #timelapse

Portrait Practice Going for something a bit more stylized here. I tried to make her eyes pop and draw in the viewer. How'd I do? #art #digitalart #drawing #pencil #eyes #blueeyes #painting #portrait #model #eyecontact #timelapse

Portrait Practice When watching the timelapse of the last drawing I really liked when the beard had white highlights added before the skin. So I tried to get something like that here with more contrast to his skin. #art #digitalart #arab #beard #pencil #practice #study #man #timelapse

Plein Air Mammoth Skull Not sure if it's plein air or not, we were in a museum indoors. 45 minute speed painting. My mom and I had a blast painting there. #art #digitalart #painting #mammoth #elephant #skull #pleinair #openair #speedpainting #study #timelapse

Luke Danes Can't paint Luke without a plaid shirt. Luke in a red shirt just isn't Luke. As drawing all those lines took a lot of effort I decided to simplify my rendering and I think it's even better for it. Thoughts? #art #digitalart #painting #lukedanes #gilmoregirls #tv #fanart #timelapse

Szeth My current favorite character from The Stormlight Archive. It's supposed to be an Everstorm in the background. The bit of blue is supposed to hint at the Stormfather. #art #digitalart #brandonsanderson #thestormlightarchive #szeth #fanart #character […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
