Quick Portrait: Ana Saia
in SketchbookI get a lot of “latino” humor reels pushed to me on Instagram and, I actually like that. It’s fun. One of them was Instagram personality Ana Saia who does these kinda funny reels. In one of these she makes these really great extreme faces which I think are really cool to draw. So, I took a screen cap and tried it out. I might use this same reaction in some larger illustration where maybe the character is fighting someone or struggling in some way. Time lapse after the drawing.
Here’s the time lapse. By the way, this took maybe one hour or so while listening to an episode of the Comic Lab podcast, which I recommend not only if you enjoy comics but also if you just like listening to people have a fun time while chatting.

Red Wall: Matthias and Constance
in SketchbookI started re-reading Red Wall and, of course, was inspired to paint Matthias and Constance ready to battle Cluny the Scourge.
Here is the time lapse.
You can see that I switched from one style of painting to more of a watercolor style. I’m trying to settle on a painterly style that looks more stylized and traditional. This is my first try.
I painted this in Krita, my favorite Open Source painting software.

Copying the Masters – Death Dealer by Frank Frazetta
in PaintingEvery so often I take a painting from an artist I admire and try to copy it. This helps me understand the problems they encountered while making it and then figure out how I would solve them. It’s also fun.
Here I’ve copied one of the masters of Fantasy Art, Frank Frazetta.
Music by Michael-DB.
