First painting of 2016

Daily sketch/painting.

Daily sketch painting and process.

October week 1 daily sketches.

Some quick warm up sketches from this week. 

Started this a few months ago and have been too busy to finish it.  Hopefully when things clear up a bit I can revisit. 

Had some time to paint today.

Hey All

Just thought I'd say thanks for all the tumblr love over the past month.  

A lot of you have been asking about commissions and how much I charge. Unfortunately I really only get to do these paintings for fun occasionally between freelance jobs so I'm not really taking commissions at this time. I mainly do them as practice or exercises to learn new techniques. 

Practice with some new brushes.

Still pretty rusty after not painting for a while. I need to make more time to do the things I like.

Made some time for myself to paint today. Here's a lil preview. 

Taking some time for myself and doing some drawing. 

Been to busy to do anything fun for a while. Here is a collage of some quick warm-ups from the past 2 months.
