SP 53 : alarm clock

paint paint painttt. couldn't find any picture to draw from today. so it's still life time yeyuhhh


below is my 2nd speed painting ever. just put it there cause it's also a still life kinda painting. lol it's nice to see i've moved on to shapes instead of using lines and coloring. and cleaner.. and no opacity hahah. I do think there's need for lots of contrast on this piece though! :(

SP 52

i love adele <3

oh darn it. i didn't sketch this time either, so a lot of the spacing is incorrect. :( and values are still off too! D: but i started using opacity again, because i really wanted to create a softer texture :o . this took around 40min+ :)

SP 41 & 42

I'm a slacker.. :'( like a deadbeat wife beater.  I had too much fun this week and completely didn't have time for painting at all.. I'm so ashamed!! :(((  i missed 3 days of work so for a few days i'll have to do 2 paintings!! i need to get back to the gameee before school starts!! D: 

anyways.. here is the paintings i did. Here is from.. Tuesday..



i think it took a little bit more than an hour. I was focusing a lot on the shadow shapes created by the rocks and trying to get colors and values right. However, a lot of the values are still too light :(

Here's what i did today ( Saturday, before it turned to sunday!! D: )






this one also took a little bit more than an hour.. i simplified a.. lot but i spent a lot of time doing the windows >_>;;  i really like the light in this picture :) . took it in Solvang while on that road trip :) values are still off.. :( gosh darn it!

SP 40 : im a slacker

so after a week.. of no speedpaintings. ;___; i finally did one. couldn't bring my laptop after all during the roadtrip.. and didn't really have time to draw. so so sad :((((

but san diego and LA was fun. :D went to seaworld and disneyland wheee :) now it's time to buckle down and get some worrrrrk doneeee omg.

2 weeks before school starts!



got lazy with this one .__. im so ashamed. took around 40-50 minutes. need to pay more attention to details and all the colors that sargeant uses. a lot of his shadows on the light are warm and he uses a lot of different colors on the rocks and such. gotta work harder!

SP 38 : Degas Masterstudy

more like.. failed copying x__x it's been a long day today. Went to paint plein air at Alum Rock Park with a lot of the awesome peeps from SJSU. Big thanks to Cameron Chun for organizing it! I will post pictures later :)

So today i followed the suggestion of a buddy (jon) to do some masterstudies. I learned that i need to work on shapes more. and scale.. also.. still need to pay more attention to values.. and color as well. >_> the shadows have a blue tint! gawsh D:
 
anyway. enough of my sleepy ramblings. here's today's speed painting.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. need to pay more attention to.. a lot of things. paint strokes.. shapes. and yes. i'm missing one girl :( it was right at 1 hr and i had to stop. I made a lot of the elements too big.. so it couldn't fit the girl.

needa try some more!

SP 37 : experiment!

Today we picked up my dad from the airport. :) So i thought i'll do something airport related today xD. This picture was taken way back in July though.. when my sister went to japan. hahaha. so today i decided to play with lighting. Using the second picture as a sunset reference.. i tried to mergeeee the two together @_@. it was quite fun. thinking about the lighting and remaking the shadow shapes. The building was quite difficult to do though.. since i dont really know how white buildings reflect... sunset light.... But yes. so much fun :) !



SP 36 : Blue

 Did this in about 40-50 minutes today.  Because of the colors i think this speed painting was more focused on shapes and values rather than colors. I didn't sketch before hand.. so i basically just painted shapes on layers. I had to leave though.. after 40 minutes. So in the end i kind of rushed it on the trees. the values on it is overall too light >_>

SP 35, out of it

somehow i feel really tired today. I was going to make a painting from imagination.. but ended up not doing so cause nothing came to mind. I was looking out for ref. pictures for the imagination painting when i saw this picture.



i liked it a lot and i thought i'll use it as a reference.. but then my brain slowed down and stopped so i just used it to paint from @_@

here's what happened. it should be around 50+ minutes


ughh brain please workkkk tomorrowww Dx
