CAP'N

Not the best likeness. This time I used just a Bristle brush. 30 min.

This one was 20 min. I'm playing with brushes right now and trying to stick to just one for each image to get a good feeling for each one and what it's capable of. This was with the Charlie Bowater Custom. It paints nicely if you like to use washes/glazes to build up color.

30 min Portrait#5 and Warm ups

Today's 30 min portrait

Russian Army Woman

Today's installment. A little better than yesterday. This time in Photoshop. I'm trying to keep these in or under 30 min each. Also we have a page of sketchbook studies  and warm ups etc. Just trying to stay loose and keep the skills sharp.

30 Min or So . This Time in Painter
Head Sketch #2

So I came across this guy's Blog and pretty much every day he does a quick portrait painting. His name ( his web one) is BTANK and you can find his blog here http://ninnjapizzaburgers.blogspot.ca/

Anyways, I admire his JC Leyendecker Esq style and his dedication to do these almost daily. So with that in mind, I hope to incorporate a similar practice into my daily routine. So with that in mind here we go with my first go. I think I popped this one off in less than 30 minutes. We're going for both speed and accuracy.
