I also realized I hadn't posted process pictures in a while and since people sometimes ask, here's the line drawing for the painting I'm working on this month:
I draw in pencil then ink with microns and erase the pencil since the lead can mix with paint and muddy it. I basically use my own pen drawings like blank coloring book pages I paint over though I occasionally add some hatch lines and note where wrinkles and stuff will be just to give myself something to build on. I actually already painted in the background for this one, so I'll get a shot of it in that stage and then when it's painted but before I add the black outline.This piece is for a benefit show I'll be a part of next month, I'll post more info about the show and about the piece itself later.

ReplyDeletethe downward movement of the squid is so dramatic and intimidating, i like that.
ReplyDeletealso, i get the impression that you're self-taught, is that true?
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs for being self taught I suppose I am somewhat. I went to a state school for college and took the handful of art classes that were available there but it was pretty limited. I'm not sure they had much to do with how I make drawings and paintings now. It's a process I'm still working out and trying to refine.
