I’ve been picking away at a color sketch in Photoshop, and I think it’s finally done. I try to do pencil sketching, ink and crosshatching practice and Photoshop/digital sketching and manipulation each week just to get new ideas rolling around in my head. Sometimes they work, other times not so much.
I’m also trying to get something down on paper (or on “monitor”) when I think about it. I have a few sketchpads, and I have a new Moleskine that I’m trying out. Along with that, if I see a picture that I’ve taken I’ve been trying to practice with it and go with whatever flow comes along.
The piece below is one of those. You’ll notice on a previous blog I talked about the skull/anatomical reference I built (you do read all of these things right?), and I grabbed one of those pics and manipulated it. I have a hard time calling such work “art”, I think I lean towards calling them “photo illustrations”.
Let me know what you think of it. I call it Gods in the Depths Below.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Thanks for the nice comments, glad to hear I’m not too boring of a blogger. I’m trying to consistently blog at least weekly, hopefully I’ll keep things interesting.
