Cheesin'

Hi everyone. Just a black and white sketch today. Hopefully I can take it to color, but I've still got another project I must do first. Money and Exposure. Key words this year cause I need both!

Wooo! Been a while since I posted one of these! But here's my entry for this week's Illustration Friday. The pose was inspired by a stock image I saw on deviant art. I used Photoshop as usual.

More Painting

Hi everyone! Here's my first painting/sketch for the new year! It's kinda weird with a head floating there like that, but I like it. Wow. I'm surprised I've been producing this much work lately, granted it doesn't take that long to do at this level. I'm working on another that I hope will look more polished. As usual I used Photoshop.

Back with another all color painting. Still learning... and I hope to continue getting better into the next year. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Color Face

Today I did a little more with with color painting. I still begin with a basic sketch, next I do a general gray scale of some of the main shadow areas, then...that's it. From there it's all color. I'm trying to get better at recognizing the colors in human skin. The biggest gain from working in color is that I can do a painting much faster. So it's important that I get more comfortable with it. Again thanks to idrawgirls.com for inspiring me to draw again.

The Eve of '08

Hello everyone. As 2008 approaches I begin to reflect upon this year. What have I done? How have I progressed? Well, not as much as I expected but I have done a lot and learned a lot. Not just in art but life in general. As for art, this year was largely one of experimentation. I still haven't found my niche market, but I feel I'm getting closer. I've opened my ears to suggestions as far as selling my work and such, but it may take the biggest piece of advice to get going, relocation. There are many great cities out there where the art scene is bigger, but moving to anyone would be disastrous without knowing what I'm looking for. Then again. Maybe what I'm looking for will find me? All I know is something's gotta happen. My situation has instilled in me a feeling that I"m running out of time, but now as I type this, the feeling is stronger than ever.

Merry Christmas with Dani.

Merry Christmas everyone! Thought I'd get up this morning and post one of my latest ANTM paintings, Danelle or now Dani from cycle 6. Peace to all!
