Nice Set of Cans.
I have 2 milk cans, and one that is also probably cow related, I have not found out the technical names. This is a pre-painted preview for all my adoring fan. Give me a few weeks and I will give you some progress as I still have some sanding and sketching to do before the real work starts.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi
Another motivational, inspirational movie. Excellence has everything to do with passion, dedication and repetition and this sushi master brings it. Jiro Dreams of Sushi at IMDB
Altitude
The last hurrah with canvas before switching over to some more watery-penciled things on paper.
To Plan or not to Plan.
A means to an end. The first and second unplanned stage that haphazardly led to this lil guy:
Some sort of bumbling monster fused into the landscape. “Blehp” is the noise that I perceive.
Chalkfest Eau Claire
The local Eau Claire magazine, Volume One, sponsors a sweet time called Chalkfest. This is the story of a couple participants. Behold!
Thumbnail, pre-plan time.
A few phases of the decided-upon game plan.
A tale of The Squirrel, riddles-in-the-dark style.
Dante’s Inferno – Fire Hazard for Actors.
This film is a modern take on Dante’s Inferno with hand drawn, paper actors. Every time I watch it I want to make tiny paper cities, so I am putting this up as an inspirational video.
Also with a trailer:

High Treason.
As I was taking a picture, the pre-flash lit up a part of the canvas with a fiery orange patch of color. I might just steal that and use it to finish this beast after I saw it, I realized the image is lacking a significant area of contrast.
Great. Now What.
Started on an environment of some sort but now I am unsure what step comes next.
I did learn with this particular canvas that a spray bottle is a good friend to have to keep my acrylics/canvas just wet enough to stay blendable. No idea why it took this long, but yay for discovery.
Inconsitencies.
This has been a very inefficient painting so far but I think I finally have a workable layout.
Setting the Stage.
Just a little peek into the beginning phase of a digital painting. So far I am just laying in what I think will be an interesting background and setting a light source. Not many layers at this point. Used a textured brush to get a “wash” down and then worked in a few little details with a smaller, round, pressure sensitive brush.
CLIFFHANGER!
FOLLOW-UP!
Progress. The creature is on a separate layer until I am confident about it. This makes the erasure of an entire limb that just took place far simpler than if the layers had been merged. I have been predominately using the brush tool, eyedropper and navigator. This is the basic pattern of things once I get into a good rhythm, along with Ctrl+[ or ] to decrease or increase my brush size, respectively.
Annnnddd then I completely switched over to Illustrator:
