all my knuckled smudges

[localfatheaded]

for better or worse I have picked up my pen...
Ideas, comments and jibberish are all welcomed.

I really hope that some day I can get good enough to work in the entertainment arts industry, right now I'm a long way off so any pointers would be super helpful.

[bakatron]

is it digital?

[localfatheaded]

so here are a few pen scratches, pencil smudges, and photoshop meanderings.
work has always gotten in the way, but no longer...
Thanks for stopping by

the mountains were an attempt at a speedpaint, but it took 2 hours, so i need to get it faster, the secondone i spent a bunch more time and used a photo I took for reference.

[localfatheaded]

this is the painting that i used my beach landscape for. let me know what you think.

[localfatheaded]

did this tonight, trying to practice skin tones while painting something attractive, trying to get past the place where a lot of the women i draw are too manly haha.

[localfatheaded]

did this for fun,on and off the last couple of weeks, just trying some new things, but its just not coming together, im not really sure how to progress the picture from here.

[Maria David]

Just fell in love with your pen sketches. And I really like those burning buildings in the latest pic.

[localfatheaded]

here is some recent things
HOrse was just over 30 mins, just trying to get it down really quick and get accurate colors.


landscape, trouble with this one...


and did this for my dad's b-day

[localfatheaded]

oh and how do I change the pic for my thread? its been baffling me.

[Trollfar]

Nice work here, i like your hand-studies and and the beach. im really interested about the first orange fish. Have you worked some more on it?

[localfatheaded]

Here's a sketch for a robot-like dude i am going to try and make a 3d model of, it'll be my first non tutorial adventure, so im excited.



more finished painting, focusing on a muted but realistic color palette, hope it works

[localfatheaded]

just some quick portrait/light studies i painted, i gave myself a 20min cut off for each.Any suggestions would be much appreciated

[localfatheaded]

some animals studies I did,trying a more painterly approach, just trying to be loose and have fun.

[localfatheaded]

portrait from an old photo...just trying to get a decent likeness...

[clanlord]

Hey my friend I really see that you're heading in the direction of realism, which I like the most in artists like you! The landscapes are very professional painted! It seems you can play with colors! Hehe wish you luck and keep the body studies I see that you can do more than that you're showing! Maybe sparing more time and do some more details will develope your skills!

[Sebastianrenaissance]

i like it.

it looks lite evryone here is much better then me. HATE IT

[Santon]

Good stuff.

I like the pencil/ink apartment buildings. They seem to do it for me.

I typically write more critically, but I'm running low on sleep...so it must be time to go to the coffee shop.

[iambanana]

I dig your landscapes and faces. Keep it up. Those speedpaints of those faces are great.

[localfatheaded]

here's my self portrait, how much it actually looks like me is debatable...also looks kinda waxy haha...things to work on. the second one i guess could be called "magic, the ungathering"....haha oh boy...

[localfatheaded]

THe first one is from a picture i made for my mom...and the second one is a rhino, i spent all the time on the rhino and kinda just faked the background, but i still like it.

[localfatheaded]

My girlfriend and her room mate wanted to be dragon hunters, so I took some photos and painted in the rest. probably the most finished piece i have done.
