PAINTING STYLE

It's been a little while since I checked in here, and I wanted to write a bit about some things I've been working on. The Pixar internship was really great, and I feel like I took away some things that have completely changed the way I work and think about art - not so much about how to draw better, but how to organize my thoughts and get things done.



I've been spending my time since the internship tackling assorted freelance, working on an upcoming Fleet Street project, and enjoying being back in Southern California. While doing development work on my personal project, I've been thinking about the different ways I like to draw - sometimes more painterly, sometimes more graphic. I usually feel that I go too far when I start painting things, and they lose the original graphic feel I wanted. Yesterday I did the drawing above as an experiment to see if I could capture the textural quality of painting I wanted without losing the simple shapes of my design, and I think I got closer than I have with most of my illustrations.



This is a quick doodle I did tonight in a more graphic style while thinking about another project in the pipeline.
