SP 8 & 9 : CUP

Missed a day for 4th of July yesterday... Even though it's late.. happy 4th of july!! :D
in the festivities i failed to do a speed painting, so that's why I am doing 2 today to make it up!

I think i need to do some landscape pictures next time, and maybe work from imagination.. but for now I'll try to fine tune colors and values first. small goals. hahaha

painted a cup this time and it feels like im slightly getting better at judging values. slightly..

here's the picture that i worked on first


and here's the black and white


here's the color version i did right after

i listened to Jon today and simplified a lot. thanks for the help :) !!

Also, unrelated event but John Clapp critiqued my work today. Inspiring to say the least, made me want to do more and more for my drawings. Thank you John Clapp!! xD

FIRE IT UP!!!

SP 7 : Colored Oranges

Second part of the painting that i did for training. I think painting it in black and white did help out making my colors more.. correct.. ish xD

I was talking to my buddy Chris Sanchez (go check him out!) about painting.. and he suggested to me to train my eyes.. for VALUESS yeeee~ so heres some oranges i took a picture of..

SP 4 & 5 : Around the House

Went home today after work and painted 2 photos in photoshop, one to make up for yesterday and one for today! yay :) it was really fun, and after the last painting, i decided to do something much much simpler and i think i learnt a lot from these 2 photos

The first painting i did took me 45 minutes. It's from this picture right here..


this is what i painted..


the colors are still not quite right yet.. and the shapes aren't quite right either.. but i like how it came out! i'm glad it looks 3 dimensional hahaha!

This is the second picture that i painted..

FInally a tablet..

So it's been my dream for a really long time now.. to get myself a tablet.
Now i can cross that off the list cause i got ones YEAH! i caught the ups guy while he was delivering stuff in my apartment.. well my mom did, but then i asked him to give me my tablet. lol especially since i didn't get it last friday.. my poor brother was asleep and he didn't hear the knocks of the ups guy -_-;;

so i decided to take mah shiny new tablet for a ride and do some work xD here's what i did today. My first speed painting! i didn't really check how long it took though >_> i think about an hour..

it's from this picture my friend gave me


also i thought i'll work on artie for a lil bit. i will do some more of that in the morning before i go draw naked ppl :3 .
