Harmony Sketches
I was checking out Kris’s blog and saw he had some really cool drawings done with Harmony Sketch. Thought I’d check it out for m’self, here’s what went down– it’s quite magical! Almost feels like I’m cheating by letting it do a lot of the work…. Still, the results are unique.
Attention
As artists, we can put infinite work and detail into tiny or large portions of the canvas. However, it’s the application of artistic knowledge that directs the attention of the viewer. In this example, the part with absolutely no work (a square left white) hogs all the attention, when all the work went into the colorful squares (which even have patterns of color theory, if you look carefully).
Ice Cream Eater
Zbrush Man
Yes yes the collarbones/ears are all wonky– I was working mostly on the face. I need to figure out how to put eyeballs in these things 🙂
Ode to Portal
Painted this last year after a Portal-a-thon.
¿Que?
Drew this guy during sketchgroup last summer; last night decided to paint him with watercolors. I’ve got some watercolor uploads to catch up on, so stay tuned 🙂

Oil Pastel Blending Secret
Sometimes when working with oil pastel on a toothy paper, you’ve got delicate color shifts that unfortunately don’t sink into the paper’s tooth. Generally applying a lot more oil pastel would be the solution; but that can sometimes ruin the original colors that were laid down.
Fear no more! Pilot’s FriXion erasable pens have rubber “erasers” (no more than a little rubber nub). These blend oil pastel brilliantly! The rubber nub for erasing (it’s called FriXion because it removes the ink via friction) never seems to wear down. Keep some newspaper handy so you can clean it off from color to color.
Dearest Pilot FriXion magic oil pastel blender, you’re now part of my art arsenal.
