Don’t ask. I don’t know where this character came from, but I just went with it. I decided to call him Sam Testiclees. He has 3 faces.

My friend Alex posted a beautiful photo of a Honda bike to Pinterest the other day and I really wanted to draw it tonight, so I Livestreamed some of it. This is about 1.25 hours into the drawing. I spent about 30 on Livestream trying to add rough details. I like rough details and imperfections in drawings. It keeps to the uncertainty of the process. I like that. I hope you do, too!
Tonight was a good practice.

Another landscape came out of tonight’s session. I am not sure how I feel about this composition. It’s sort of dull. This took about 3 hours. I have not been working as quickly lately. I am trying to use the speed work I’ve been doing as a foundation for getting in and working out some details. Expect more detailed drawings coming out of this experiment. I am really enjoying getting into all of it.
Thanks for all of your support. I’ve been trying to use a lot of my recent downtime to work on stuff I love. Your encouragement means everything to me!
Here’s a 2500 x 900 version if you’d like to download it.
Now that I look at it, I probably should have made the composition much more vertical to show off the Walmart.

Just practicing tonight no with specific agenda. I started making lines and dark shapes and this emerged. I just went with it.

My awesome tweeps @sonofalink and @akadotty have a super creative and hilarious daughter who has made me laugh out loud more than a few times. I have been wanting to make more characters, so when I discovered Children’s Drawings Painted Realistically, I decided to ask my friends for their kids’ drawings so I could experiment a little. Do you like what I made?

This is a 1 hour painting from a 1 hour drawing I made while practicing animal forms. I know there is a lot of detail that can be added! I just wanted to move on, already. jeez.
