Spitpaints

Here are some paintings I've been doing for the Facebook group "Daily Spitpaint". Some of them were done in Photoshop, others in Procreate on my iPad. Can you tell which? ;)

Speed

This was done for a daily 30-min speedpainting group on Facebook. I used Procreate on the iPad and some custom brushes. The original painting was more square, I didn't like it as much and simply scaled it down vertically. I also used an app called PhotoForge to do an unsharp mask filter on the image similar to my process in Photoshop.

Here's the step-by-step painting capture (Procreate's new feature!) on my YouTube channel.

Enjoy!

Recent Photo Study

Seems like I'm posting my work everywhere but here...this is a recent photo study (1.5hrs). You can watch a compressed video of the whole painting on my YouTube channel.

Study from Life

A little while ago, we got the Asaro head as an art resource at work. I had the opportunity to spend a day doing a couple of studies in Photoshop, something I really enjoy doing! Any serious artist should be doing some sort of study or practice in their spare time...

I set the head up in a 3-walled box I made with black foamcore, using my desk lamp for the warm light source. The study with red had a red jacket hung on one side to bounce the light.

To cut down on time, I did the same angle with just different lighting. Next time I'll record it! :)

And now....Live!

So I'm trying a new service called Livestream. I'm not sure how much I like it yet, but I know that I enjoy watching other artists on it and that it saves your videos for future viewing after the live session. I'm also going to post sped-up videos on Youtube.

I recorded this sketch last night and I think I need a new machine! I wasn't able to have a web browser open  and stream at the same time, even after pulling the quality down from HD to Medium....oh well, I'll figure this thing out sometime!

Here is the sketch I did for the GameArtBuddies blog I'm a part of:

Approximately 1.5hrs in PS CS5 using a Wacom Cintiq 21UX.

I'll be posting more to both locations with future work, so stay tuned! :)

iPad sketch

Had about 40 min waiting for a pizza, so I did this sketch in the Hard Rock Hotel Lobby in Procreate on my iPad, really digging this new brush shape. It's meant to simulate a pencil on edge, hard on one side and soft on the other. I ported over the brush tip shape from Photoshop and put a light texture on it.
