Watercolors B&W

Tonal studies. Very spectacular view (The photo reference of course) I hope I brought it out. Haha. A very quick one. 20 mins or so I reckon.

By the way I had been using a lot of reference for all the pictures so if you find one of yours, I probably got it from tumblr or google.

I'd been reading Noah Bradley's posts. Very encouraging. I really do need some encouragement. As an amateur artist, those critiques hurt bad. I'll just gotta keep doing it.

If I do do 1 or two pieces a day, I hope to see some improvement after 6 months.

I am seriously gonna stick to this and no procrastination. See you tomorrow.

Watercolors again

This is long overdue. I did this awhile back. I really want to learn how to mix colors. Perspective really off.

Sheepish

This is my second attempt at landscape, after my first failed one. The reference is in sepia. I'm struggling with drawing sheep. The photo reference is really a magnificent drawing but I failed at making it look awesome. Sometimes I really yearn for this kind of lifestyle. Travelling in a foreign land with animals, breathing and living life. Slowing down and taking a look around. Life can really be simple yet fulfilling. There are things that I want to achieve this life but sometimes one just long for more than materialism. The question is how to make the most out of everyday.

Exposure and experience is great and I long to travel the world. Anyway, dodge tool is bad for this one. There are a few marks left from doing so. Seeing big shapes in a photo is very important. I think I really need to work on human and animal anatomy. The man and sheep look not so convincing. 

Brush up little monkey

First post! Udon keeps me going! Speedpainting of mountain ranges. I don't think you will know if I didn't tell you. Haha. Real bad.

 My lack of practice made me a very rough artist. I need some polishing so I'm gonna start posting really bad drawings here till I get better.

My teacher once said that if a drawing works when viewed in a thumbnail, it is a strong image. I'm starting to see things a little differently.

Little things in life:

• Big shapes
• Power of suggestion, not detail
• Lighting
• Imagination
