more burnt vine

10 min.
Mostly vine & a bit of charcoal pencil on newsp.

I swear I'll stop with the huge foreclaw motif ASAP.

Acrylic

On cheap watercolor paper. Maybe 3 inches tall. Keeping it simple at first. Never really used dry brushing before. That helped a lot where I needed softer edges. All in all it went faster than I thought it would. Anyway, I learned some things and will approach the next one a bit differently.

sith

Create-a-sith was this week's DrawerGeeks. Wish I had more than a couple hours to spend on it.

Playing with photoshop to get a simple brush I might be happy with. This one was just flow and no opacity. And texture.
Edit: I'm sure this is no revelation to most PS users. I dislike that typical transparent, overlapping feel that PS gives me with transparent brushes. This brush has opacity up to 100 and not controlled by pressure. Flow controlled by pressure and tuned to fit what I'm after with the flow slider. I had it at maybe 20% or 30% on my tabletPC. When I brought it home on my intous I had to fiddle as they feel so different.

self portrait day

Yesterday was the 2nd annual International Self Portrait day at conceptart.org. Ton's of entries. Here's my 20 minute contribution. I don't generally work with Painter's digital watercolor, but it's pretty fun - unless you dry it too early by mistake.
Work is still insanely busy.
