How to Talk Dirty: Lenny Bruce–Speed Painting

Tonight I painted this. It's a 1 hour speed painting of Lenny Bruce. I am still working on Lo Pan. But I needed a bit of a break from it. . . and now back to work.

Thanks for looking!

Brush & Ink Practice

I've never been good working with brush and Ink. I had a go at it this morning, and here is the result. I'm pretty happy with it. But I still need a lot of practice. You'll see more of these from me. I've been spending so much time working digitally. But recently, I've decided that I need more practice in working traditional.

For supplies I used; Princeton 50/50 rounds #5 and #0/3, Higgins black India ink, and a white Prismacolor pencil on a sheet of 136 lb. Canson Canva-Paper. My reference was a sketch of a mustachioed man from Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis. 

A Girl in a Turban, Speed Painting

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since my last post. I've decided to post something different this week. You're probably sick of all of my Keith Richards posts. Don't worry, you'll be Keef free until he's completely finished. Here is a speed painting of a girl in a turban.  I worked on this for about an hour. I like how it's coming out, so I'm going to tighten it, add some color, and finish it up.

Thanks for looking, and bearing with my rambling. 

Have a great week!

"Ready Freddie!" Freddie Mercury Sketch

It was very slow at work Thursday. So I sketched Freddie Mercury on the back of a misprinted MacBook pricing sheet. As I was sketching, I absolutely hated it. But looking at it the last couple of days, it has started to grow on me. "Now I'm here!"

Thanks for looking!

Marlon Brando "YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!" - Process

Here's a Marlon Brando caricature I'm working on. I have a long way to go to finish it. I haven't posted in a while. I've recently changed from pc to Mac. Because of the change, I've had to upgrade from Adobe CS4 to CS6. . . aaaand I'm not used to using it yet. But it's getting there. . . 

Thanks for looking!

“His name was Abby something…”

This caricature is a request from my buddy Chandler Dunn. It's a speed painting of Marty Feldman as Igor, from Young Frankenstein. My photo reference is a screenshot from the film. It took me about a 1 1/2 hours, and it was nice good fun. 

Thanks for looking!
