Pirate Painting Process

shane — Mon, 14 Sep 2015 19:33:00 +0000

With “International Speak Like a Pirate Day” coming up next weekend I wanted to paint a new avatar to use on my Facebook page and the like. Since Procreate automatically captures the process I thought I’d share it since I personally love seeing this sort of thing from other artists.

Here is a video I exported showing the inking and colouring stages for this image I sketched:

Daily – Steampunk

I want to get to the point where I am drawing everyday … eventually I will get there. This was the first drawing I did with that in mind. Also I am linking a video that Procreate automatically recorded while I was working on it…

Tink

Back to drawing another “Shane’s Dirty Art” piece. This time I chose to use a brush that easy bled and got messy… I love some of the “happy accidents” that resulted from using it… I think I might try inking a few more like this one…

First Drawing of 2015

shane — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 14:52:33 +0000

It’s been a while since I have posted anything… or drawn anything for that matter. This past weekend I took a couple of hours out of my day and sat down at a local coffee shop to change that. Here is the unfinished (and probably will remain that way) iPad drawing I did. I had the learning curve of using a new program as well that I am finding I love the more I use it called procreate. Let me know what you think!

Khaleesi (sort of) and process…

Being a fan of Game of Thrones I wanted to try my hand at drawing a realistic picture of Khaleesi. I spent a little longer on this portrait than I usually do… I think this one came in at about 7 hours from start to finish. Although I didn’t capture her likeness as well as I would have hoped, I did however learn to push the app I was using (Sketch Club) in order to get the more out of it.

Here is the final image:

My latest Sketch Club iPad drawing… trying to figure out a way to get more of that “painterly” look to my digital art. Not there yet, but I did pick up a couple of tricks along the way.
