Artblogging - Birth of the Bride II

How about some more paintblogging for this painting.

Got to get the pencils laid out on the canvas.

I like to do the sky and the deep bits first. Its easier to smear on the sky when you can overlap onto areas that haven't been touched yet. I like how the moon and the mountains turned out.

Walls are next.

Starting to fill in the characters and the props. I like how their smocks turned out.

That's all folks. I'll post more when I get more done.

Artblogging - Birth of the Bride

Here is one I did recently featuring my favorite subjects Frankie and the Bride. I did a drawing like this some years ago but I thought I could do a better job of it. Here is the progress from original sketch to finished product.

Dr Scarabus

I've been away for a while. Here is a recent painting that turned out pretty good. Boris Karloff as Dr Scarabus from "The Raven."

I was really happy with how this turned out. I was hoping it would lead to a run of good paintings but I've had some flubs since this one was completed. Oh Well.

Monster Duo

Did a few monster portraits recently. The Wolfman and the Creature From the Black Lagoon. Both are 12 x 16 acrylic on canvas.

I wish I hadn't done the Gillman's lips in red. I like how it looks on old posters I've seen, but it just doesn't work here.

The Third Doctor

Jon Pertwee, the third Doctor. I think he has the most interesting face of the bunch of them.
Acrylic on canvas board, 12 x 16.
