• Quick Portrait – Chin on Hand

    I am trying to get a painterly approach with Krita. This is using only one of the painting brushes. It took about 1 hour to do. You can see, however, in the time lapse down below that I was going to do a comic ink style but changed my mind later. Time lapse:

  • Red Wall: Matthias and Constance

    I 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

    Every 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.
