~30 Minute Figure Sketches

Here are a couple of 30 minute sketches I did later last week.  I've been enjoying practicing my figure work and I've found a few great resources online that scroll through random pictures based on a few setting for subject matter and time between changes.

Light and Color Fun

I was playing around with color and lighting and love painting landscapes.  This is what I came up with.  I like how the subtle color changes turned out throughout the mountains.  I also wanted to throw a figure in there, I usually don't get around do doing that, but I've been really meaning to do that more.  Get some more interesting poses and dynamic movement incorporated with the scenes.  

30sec & 60sec figure gestures

I enjoy doing the quick 30 - 60 second figure sketches every now and then.  It keeps me on my toes and loosens me up, keeping me from getting caught up in detail.

This is a digital painting I've been working on just for fun so the time spent on it has also been very casual.  Here are a few of the steps that I've gone through to get it to where it is now.  You can see how it transformed from the original sketch, but I'm going to put the character back in somewhere plus throw something in the foreground.  We'll see when I get around to finishing it.
