Studies from sketchbook

I'm working through a new technique of drawing faces hoping to improve on my craft so I'm going to post some from my sketchbook, by the way I'm not pro Newt I'm just working from magazine references:)

Cowboy

I did this sketch for a painting series proposal for a camp in Texas for kids with developmental disabilities.  The camp has a strong western and equestrian influence so I thought the cowboy theme could be a fun portrait series.

Pao Conference NFL

I haven't posted in a long time so I'm gonna post a bunch of catch up stuff from a long time ago. This is from the NFL PAO conference 2011. It was an awesome opportunity and really fun to paint for and meet a bunch of awesome guys. The paintings were done on 4ftx8ft canvases and were painted to match themes that the speakers talked about throughout the conference. The second picture shows all the canvases together which was 16ftx8ft.

sketches for painting ideas in pencil

Here are some sketches of different painting ideas I've been working through. I usually like to just show off my finished work but I'm trying to post more of the preliminary aspects of my work. I just thought these would be fun to show.

sketches studies in watercolor

This is another part of my sketches I've been doing based on the same persons face in different emotions. These were some of my favorite in terms of showing anger, my friend J did a great job modeling for this painting. This one was done in watercolor and isn't finished but I got to the point I wanted to and learned a lot about portraying the same face from different angles.
