This week's Illustration of the Week topic was "Pinup" and I just had to jump in:

The Climb WIP

Like a Fire Burning

The Bath Rough

Ghosts

Just sketching. To David Bowie.

Take This With You WIP

Slowly working on refining:

Animal Sketches 7

Lolbunny

I'm posting this just because.

First Snow Final

Werepug Sketch

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers at night... might find himself a werepug.

First Snow Rough

Had to get this one out of my system. :)

Bounce Rough

Another rough sketch that might turn into a children's illustration:

Blender Rough

A rough for a little story to put into my children's illo porkfolio:

Quickie Portrait 8

A guy from the "Draw Me" thread on ConceptArt.

I went to the art store and bought a bunch of different filbert brushes on sale. Filbert! It's a great word. The filbert brush is flat and has an oval edge rather than being squared off or coming to a point. I've been playing with a filbert made of hog bristle and I think I really like it. Although I'm not sure I bought the best quality one as it has stray hairs sticking out and it's already lost two.

Take This With You Roughs

Roughs for a double illustration I'm doing for the old porkfolio:

Quickie Portrait 7

This had the potential to be pretty good before I totally messed up the neck:

Messing Around

Animals!

Quickie Portrait 6

This one had unusual lighting I wanted to try but I think I screwed up the tilted features. :P

Quickie Portrait 5

Quickie Portrait 4

Quickie Portrait 3

I used a slightly smaller brush for this one (3/8" rather than 1/2") and took a little longer and it seems to have turned out better.

Animal Sketches 6

Still going!

Quickie Portrait 2

So I'm raiding Flickr, Google and dA for these which is not entirely kosher. But I'm pretty sure no one's going to recognize their photos unless I get a LOT better.

Quickie Portrait 1

So I screwed that last acrylic self-portrait up pretty badly, and I thought I might need some practice. A while back I stumbled on this guy who did little acrylic portraits in his sketchbook using a large brush and very limited palette. Once I tracked the thread down I got some ideas on the palette he was using and did a couple trial runs of my own.

I'm having a lot of trouble controlling the huge brush and getting used to the palette so I guess I'm lucky this turned out as well as it did (which isn't very). But these take only about half an hour to paint so I can easily do a couple a day and improve. I might pick up a brush more similar to the other guy's. I don't know. Can one get more control with filberts or flats?

Animal Sketches 5

Still going through people's zoo pictures.

Animal Sketches 4

I Am a Rock - Final

Someone's building a fortress deep and mighty.

International Self-Portrait Day

Screwed up the traditionally-painted version so had to re-do it digitally. :P

That was a lot of portrait painting. Gonna have to practice all winter so I can put in a better showing next year! Also, jogging.
