speed Painting 26

1hr session

Man oh man... had a pretty bad painting week this week but on the final day i was determined to get a good result. Did it happen? well... it was ok i guess, would of loved to do more to this after the session but life just doesn't want to slow down and give me a moment.

Thought i would leave my arrows in there to give you a sense of my thinking process. The arrows are to indicate where the light is coming from. Sometimes i forget, and sometimes there are so many light sources arrows help to keep note on where the light is coming from. (BIG Arrow for main light small arrows for smaller light sources. Only one light source on this picture.)

1hr painting 

With the guys Nathan, Max, Chris

This is speed painting 21 (i think i missed one)

I think i've been missing days on the session or have been falling asleep before posting them, and i found this speed painting i did on friday and didn't post. I think after this painting i wanted to finishes it off but didn't get the chance to.

So here it is guy the final session of the western theme.

1hr session with MAX, NATHAN and CHRIS

Thought on this one is that i like the pallet just wish i could of finished or got more detail in to. The beast i'm facing with all this session is speed.

Speed Painting 19

Really enjoyed this session. 

I put the development of the digital painting for this session just to record the speed i'm working at and to improve on areas that could be done faster or mapped out quicker. 

I spent a bit more time on this one to see if i could get it closer to a finish piece. 

Profile:

Name: Oak

Age: 10 years old 

Description: Native american boy who possesses a pendent which holds the key to a power of 'TuTu the guardian'. He is constantly on the run hiding the pendent, moving of tribe to tribe. Now more than just one tribe is after the pendant and Oak has no where to run.

1 hr Painting

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!

I really wanted to work on this one more. It was coming a long and i could see the finished results. Still not fast enough!!

Need to top up on some more time just that film with Justin Timberlake 'In Time' 

Morning session with BERNIE & CHRIS 

Speed Painting 13

1hr session

Another day another painting!

Change my process in this one. Started with more of a line art style then painted over the top of it. I think i like it better it allow me to think a lot more before i start lay down the tone and colours. Normal start with the main shape and build from darks up to lights. I think i could get more structure by doing the line art first.

Hate the legs need to find more time to make sure parts of the painting get the same amount of time.

Still need to speed up and refine the way it looks (style).

Speed Painting 12

1hr Session

GOT TO GET FASTER!!!

Speed painting 10

1 and a half session (need to speed up!!!)

Enjoyed doing this painting but it took to long. Need to work on the speed of creating the body shape and the lighting, so i can move on to colour values and have a more finished painting.

BIG UP!! MAX, CHRIS AND BERNIE

Stuff i referenced for this piece almost had nothing to do the painting directly but it was a good starting point for me. All picture are taken researching.
