Still playing with the digital painting. I think I get so carried away with the technical challenge I sometimes forget to make an interesting picture. Hence this horse, not doing much of anything. George Stubbs I am not! Actually, without the “ink” lines, this looks a lot like one of those paint by numbers kits. I promise I’ll get better with the digital painting soon. Still think you might be interested in seeing the process!

Of course, it would have looked better had I used a photo reference instead of drawing it and the reflections out of my head, but that’s the way I am.

Meanwhile, here are a few real ball-point pen drawings I did. It’s a medium I enjoy. Again, sort of frowned upon by the finer galleries, but I like doing the tones with crosshatching.

Painted this digitally at a friend’s, after her feline companion. Still working on brushes, colour mixing, etc.

Young Nora was being obstreperous, as is easy to see from this photo, and she got my little finger this morning as I was trying to take something breakable away from her. So I’ve given her a new identity, as below:

So there.

I should have blogged more, but I’m still playing with my Wacom Pen. well, here’s this.

Still painting random faces, from DVDs, and my squirming imagination. Kind of enjoying it at the moment.

Some bonus kitty-cats as well.

Must belong to the Tea Party.

I’m doing comic colouring in Photoshop. Shouldn’t be so difficult, but I’m thinking of it a lot. Then a little watercolour.

Mr. Boggedy only WISHES he could catch rats!

It’s a pain thinking up clever titles for these posts of sketches, so I’m just going for the search engines!

Here’s my old pal, Howard Shore (with a random DVD lady):

Bonus! A woman pointing!

Is she actually wearing anything, or am I just lazy? Could have drawn a line for a collar or strap or something….

I’m actually going to work on making my pretty women less generic-looking. That means studying (and to a degree copying) pictures!
