After practicing a wave tutorial on Art Academy. I wanted to make my own wave painting. I am extremely happy with this painting for some reason.

Who’s Catching Who? (Giant Octopus Attacks Fisherman from Behind)

Yesterday I had terrible artist block and it took me about 4 hours of frustration staring a image just to be unsatisfied to just to start over. Finally a hour before I needed to go to bed, this wild silly image appeared (yes that was a Pokemon reference, I’ve had too much caffeine). I envisioned this little bear fishing on a boat, minding his own business when suddenly a octopus attacks from behind. I’m getting more comfortable with value painting as in the past I created my artwork mostly in line like a comic strip. The reason I have been avoiding color in my value paintings is that color has little effect on value. Don’t believe me? Here’s proof. I want to make sure I understand value %100 before even attempting color in this format. That’s why many professional concept artists put a desaturation layer on top of their paintings to check their color values!

orange ocean sunset cloulds on fired — speed painting

Two paintings of the ocean around dusk. I painted both in open source painting app called MyPaint. I had fun figuring out the software while painting these two. I have decided to switch my practice to thumbnail value studies instead of speed painting as I have a feeling this will help me progress faster.

Instead of posting one painting at a time I thought I would put it in one post to save everyone’s (including mine) sanity. Last thing I want to do is spam my viewers with speed paintings.
