Cute character sketchbook interuption!

Pumpkins in progress


At the ugly stage but getting somewhere I think? lol

Pumpkins anyone?


Halloween is here (and gone, don't tell anyone though)! I wanted to show you the progress of a sketch to painting that I am doing right now. I had a pumpkin patch but I wanted to add a little spice with a character also.
This is a traced over image so it is not the best, even if it does not give atmosphere ;) I placed it over the pumpkins to merget he two images.

In a whirl


Painted in oil, this took me about an hour and a half. It is really quick but it was really liberating and I like the way it turned out even though it is a more choppy style. I also used the 4/5 color technique on this one too :)

2 hour Girl in Oil Paints

This is a quick study I did in oil paints, I used Don Seegmillers 4/5 color approach. This painting was a lot of fun, especially with the values falling in to place, it seems as though I am starting to get the knack of turning the brush a bit more.
