A brief flashback...

Hello!!

So I was cleaning out my old files from my old computer which I sold a couple of months ago and found a couple of screencast videos from when I was still learning how to digitally paint. Here is a quick video.. I think this was my 4rth try at digital painting at that time.

I've added a few captions to it so I'd advise you to watch it in full screen mode. I used to record myself painting to see what I was getting wrong with my process and help better my composition the next time. But also the problem was I wasn't that good of a drawer.. well, I still am not that good of a drawer but still trying to learn digital painting at that time. :)

I'd appreciate a some comments and feedback. :)
I might post a couple of more videos later on I just have to figure out how to convert them to good quality though. :)


Here's another video of me and my dog, Shar pei after our 40 minute walk the other day :))
It was sooooo hot outside and she just couldn't take it so I decided to bring her back to the condo before she got heat stroke. But check out the video she looks so cute. :)

...so til the next blog post.
Cheers,

Carrie

5 minute sketch

I got inspired by some works from Wouter Tulp  so I ended up doing a quick head sketch :)

Painting Flower pots

So I decided to fix up my room. I wanted to put more plants in the room so I figured a bright colored pot would make the room look nice as well. I painted an old terracotta plant pot I found on the porch. I was gonna make it a bright yellow but decided to go for a pink color. Check it out. :)

Mother and Baby

This is a piece I'm doing for a friend who's expecting a baby. :) Its exciting I guess having your first child. 

I'm still working with the perspective of the baby... its too flat in this sketch

Conan O' Brien Process

Hello!

I've been watching a lot of reruns of the Conan show. So I just couldn't resist, I guess..

Heres the process.

I actually prefer my sketch to the final work.. I have to work on keeping the likeness of the sketch while painting and not loose the "essence" of the character.
