Bone Dry

Made a morning trip to the Museum of Osteology and had to do a bit of drawing. What a great place.

But next time, earbuds. Especially during field trip season.

Just paint

Using new software is like drawing with gloves on.  Everything takes thrice as long.

Trying Photoshop free for a month.  Starting to get the hang of it.  Took Feng Zhu's advice and did the following (mostly) on a single layer with only 2 brushes.  Normally I'd throw a bunch of photo textures on at this point and integrate them in with some more paint, but the goal of this one was to limit my toolset and see what I could learn.

Pretty happy with it.  Feels more like a traditional painting.

Doing a lot of figure study right now.  Have a lot of figure illustrations coming up and HAVE to step up that part of my art game.
