YAAWN

i had fun with this one. though, i always enjoyed drawing birds. they're quirky animals.

TULIP

didn't keep track of the time on this one.
it was a nice change of pace, though. i like to render subjects with long strokes!

JAGGIES!

totally forgot how long this took .. sorry!
mountains can be pretty sometimes. had fun with the pencil tool here, though i think the foreground clouds got a little lost within the backdrop... 87/

SUPER TIRED

another quick cloud render. around 15 minutes. i have a better idea of what i'm doing for these things now. i would like to go back to this particular piece sometime and touch up everything. i think i'll try mountains as the focus next time.
i should probably sleep though. haven't slept in a day .. it's really taking a toll on my energy!

I HATE OUR WEATHER

i think for the next 3 days i'm gonna do some cloud studies. honestly the speed painting above doesn't really remind me of clouds as much of a bunch of colors thrown ontop of each other trying to resemble something. i noticed a lot of clouds have a lot of odd subtle colors in them like violet and every warm gray you could think of. could just be the large brush size i messed with; maybe with a little more definition i could shape it up?
i like silhouettes a lot though, they can really help bring a composition together!
