Not a sketchbook

[RottenPocket]

You and your family have my sympathies. At the same time dreams are vehicles of some both confounding and profound insight. I admire you for being able to express it.

RottenPocket: Thank you.

Bashed out an oil painting in 4 days and hung it on the wall still a bit wet for a scifi themed show called NonDisclosed Artist.
Did a basic digi prelim sketch but just riffed the details on the board.

Amit, I am sorry for your loss. I am also very happy to see you doing so much traditional work! Thank you for sharing. Your plein air paintings are wonderful. It is good to know you are still working hard after all these years!

[Noone]

JavierP: Thank you for the kind words. I love seeing the accomplishment in your sketchbook. I mostly only do trad now, occasional digi prelims, though I do want to do some more digi, always interesting to see how my digital process is so changed from what it used to be.

Great stuff, man. Keep it up!

That life drawing piece is very good. Love your subtle, tasty shading and the contrast of light and dark values. Very pleasing to the eye. Hope to see more from you

luv how dreamy ur stuff feels. The foggy shadows vs. strong contours in ur life drawings is so sweet to look at & very gracefully drawn. neat work!

[cgmythology]

Really enjoy the figure work here, very dynamic lines with great use of values. Keep it up!

[Noone]

Thank you Ruthwood and CgMythology
Had a longish break from art, to reconstitute. Back to some life drawing.

3 hrs into a 6 hr pose. Needs some touchups in the next session, but almost done



Used authentic natural red chalk, sourced from Italy. Not a lot of contrast due to the inability of the chalk to go very dark. Stil a lot of fun to draw with basically a rock dug out of the ground.  2 hr-ish pose from life.
