Lunch Sketches 21




Was looking at some Adrian Smith stuff, got me inspired so I started to do some brush studies, and found a way to mix it in a bit with how I like to paint. Needs more practice but I'll get in better control with it soon enough ;)

Lunch Sketch 15

Practicing some realism! It's tough, definitely need more than an hour to really nail this down. Upward and onward.

Lunch Sketch 13


Round 2



So furthering my exploration of Robh's approach to painting ( you can check here to see the first ones I did http://kalenart.blogspot.com/2011/12/ruppel-studies.html) , I have found some interesting things about it that I think are quite efficient. I am not sure how to put it all in words. But it is definitely putting me outside of my comfort zone.

So I included the intial block out. This is actually kind of where I spend the most time thinking. It kind of hurts my head to think about all the shapes and how lighting affects it. Its kind of like being a mathematician . However, When I did get past that particular part . Everything felt rather easy and relaxing to do. I will have to do more studies of this. Any way's enjoy
