I just posted this on my website but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to cross promote. I have no idea how many people see my blog but don’t visit the website. This is all photoshop and part of a submission package I’m sending to a large variety of companies that may have need of sci-fi or fantasy illustrations. Hope you enjoy it.
Today is a little monster from my head. Just off the cuff, drawing and painting whatever popped into my mind.
I’ve always had a problem drawing Superman the way I see him in my head. So I took so time an did some reference to who I think of when I think of Superman and that would be actor, Gregory Peck.
I’m doing more and more work digitally. Usually a combination of Photoshop and Painter. Sometimes just Photoshop. For over a month now I’ve been doing a speedpaint a day. A speedpaint is just a quick painting in a short amount of time, say 30 minutes to an hour, which is usually how long I take. It’s more of an exercise to work on your speed and decision making process in making a piece of art. I have a tendency to to hesitate and ponder and ponder and ponder what I want my next stroke to be instead of just doing it.
Anyway, I’m going to start posting a few of these from time to time. Some turn our really nice, others my mother wouldn’t even love.
