Progress Piece 01: Batman Flat

So semi-flat color has been added to the shaded sketch with pre determined highlights and shadows. I got a little too far ahead with the orange soda and kept defining it. I get excited that way with fizzy orange drinks!

Tonight, I'll build on this layer with more patience with thin coats of paint in varying degrees of tonal difference.

I like where it is headed, but don't care for the highlight on the left side of his mask and will have to tweak it later.

Overall, I'm diggin' it!

Progress Piece 01: Batman sketch

Let's start out with a simple pencil sketch. I think I'll adjust the cape tonight, it doesn't flow as well as I'd like.

I'll be scanning and adding color progressively through a traditional medium. After I've taken it as far as my traditional skills will take it, we'll go digitally.

Let's see how this turns out!

Tune in next time, same bat time, same bat blog!

How was your day?

Demon Lord Submission

So here's the story, I've recently joined a forum that has monthly submissions with a theme. I don't normally do this type of art and have never been a traditional painter. The rule was no digital work. So this was my submission to the forum, pencil, acrylics and fear.
