Sketchbook spring cleaning

I know its not spring, but i wanted to dump a few selections from the sketchbooks so I can look at my blog and feel more productive :D

17.9.11

The other day I knew I wanted to paint something, but had no idea what. I grabbed a random picture and just started scribbling. I had also tried my hand at recording this one, but i did something wrong and lost the file. Maybe next time...

used this photo as a base

Fat Flash

Warming up on a Sunday

Knocked this one out in a few hours on Sunday afternoon, based on a study from the great photos I always see here. I had a lot of fun translating and simplifying shapes. There's something I find very appealing in capturing the mood of a moment while keeping it clear and simple... Could this be the minimalist influence I didn't have the patience to understand during art school??

Art Dumpage

Ive been sketching a ton, I promise, just slacking on the posting a bit. To remedy this, Ill post a few of the most recent:

Memories of my first time seeing one of my favorite artists, Adam Hughes

My cat actually sat and posed for this one. I had to keep making weird noises so he would sit and stare at me.

More soon!

Lieb's Lookout Spot

Tried to capture a moment of my cat, guarding the house like the good dog he thinks he is. Ive been trying to really be conscious of my painting, less layering of forms and more thoughtful execution; something I dont do nearly enough. In this one I tried to pay attention to edges, color, and composition, all at the same time, and all 3 suffered for it. My composition became sorely neglected. Next time I have to choose just one, and focus only on that. Still, its nice to be painting on a sunday!
