New Painting and Wip.

Hi:

I decided to have some fun and do a more finished painting than usual. 

I learned a lot from this workflow. I spent a lot more time than usual on the sketch.

A hell lot of fun. 

First sketches:

WIP:

Final Result:

Fun with color.

Morning still life.

Still life made during the same Period as the previous one.

I learned a lot and had a lot of fun but I lack of knowledge on the basic principles of drawings.

Still life of skull.

I did two still life today. I have to say that paint white skull is really hard.

Criminal Case

Here are some background I did for Criminal Case, a Hidden Object game on Facebook developed by Pretty Simple.While working there I had the chance to work with Timothy Rodriguez and Lucile Meunier, both really good friend and talented artist.I learned so much from them.

 Here is a link to there blog:

Still Life

 I try to make one still life per day. I mainly try to use basic brush round brush plus no pen pressure on it.

Study and fun.

Today I started to paint on Photoshop again after a long break I made.

Today I spent all my time studying human silhouettes on http://www.posemaniacs.com/negativespace with a pencil and a new sketchbook where I put all my warm-ups. 

After that I decided to go back on photoshop and do a " 15 brush strokes exercise " with a white skull I got at home. (This one http://www.urbanoutfitters.fr/skull-money-bank/invt/5559431822000/&bklist=)

The only action you can do in the  " 15 brush strokes exercise " is take the brush you want, the color you want to use ( no eyedropper allowed ) and use one layer per brush strokes until your reach 15 layers. Any other actions such as switching tools , ctrl+t , ctrl+z etc take an action ( so you have to put a blank layer to count it ).

This exercise is really hard , and force you to think a lot on your workflow. Since I just want to increase the accuracy of my hands and eye , I choose to use only the round brush without any use of opacity while doing the exercice. I am not happy about the results , but it makes me learn a lot.

Then I wanted to do an other quick study just to relax and feel more free.

It was really pleasant. It makes me want to do long ones soon.
