Thanks Pierce :D

JakeB - that's so useful, thank you. I've seen the article by Gurney about the colour bands, and its a great technique, keeping it in mind for this one though and applying it is where it counts. I'm working from a pretty flash ruining photo, so trying to invest a bit more life back into the painting is a really good exercise.

I'll apply these lessons and bring it back with some gusto. Thanks for the direction!

S-mrr! You've totally inspired me too - I desperately need to pour some time into figure gestures, I'll be thinking of your Sb when I do!

And cos' I don't like to comment in here without posting up some work, here's a sketch I did over lunch to go with my recent dabbling with spacecraft. More details about it here on my blog.

Nice sketchbook you have here. The colours in that turtle look amazing, and I really like the method you used on that last portrait.

Great stuff :D

Speed paint and process, lots of fun on this one. This character has been haunting me for years and I've not been able to quite achieve what I was aiming for. This is closer, and it happened by accident!

Thanks folks :)

Sorry for the quiet spell! For the last couple of weeks I have been moving flat, which feels like a project in and of itself so I figured I'd post up some progress shots of that (as proof ;])
