Going for something a bit more stylized here. I tried to make her eyes pop and draw in the viewer. How'd I do?

February 11th is the day my dad passed away last year. This painting sort of expresses how I feel. My brother and I are getting together that day. I hope I get a good cry in that day. It's been a while.

When watching the timelapse of the last drawing I really liked when the beard had white highlights added before the skin. So I tried to get something like that here with more contrast to his skin.

I wanted my next practice round to have a big smile with teeth. While her teeth are better than I've ever done hers were not this crooked. I'll do better next time...?

A second pass at practice before the live model sessions begin again. This is digital and done from reference. I used liquify far more than normal to get the proportions right. It's amazing how skewed my view is without it.

Sahelanthropus Tchadensis
From the same museum, this one I painted from a photo I took off it. It was about the size of my hand, full grown adult from about 200k years ago from Chad, Africa. It's a replica we got to touch which was cool.

Not sure if it's plein air or not, we were in a museum indoors. 45 minute speed painting. My mom and I had a blast painting there.

@gwensnyder.bsky.social these cool pale green zinnias, which these native bumblebees enjoy! You can also see a tomatillo in the background, out of focus (they are currently really producing a lot of fruit!)

Great Grandfather
Don't know his name, but I think he's the one that owned a few grocery stores in South Texas.
I tried to add color to the inks using watercolor brushes.

Love her music, she's a lyrical genius!
Thought I'd try this style again, I enjoyed it both. I took a different approach to her hair, I really like the way it came out.

Can't paint Luke without a plaid shirt. Luke in a red shirt just isn't Luke. As drawing all those lines took a lot of effort I decided to simplify my rendering and I think it's even better for it. Thoughts?
