Goro Fujita Study

Big fan of Goro Fujita's 30 minute spit paints, his work can be found on the link below:

He did an awesome creature and lighting so I decided to do a study of it, just breaking down the basics to figure out my workflow. I don't seem to have a consistent streamline work process and it's slowing me down - I feel. Plus all the moving that's happening lately and more in the near future, I'm a little rusty. Anyway, here's my breakdown. I actually did a partial study at work using chalk pastels but ran out of time at lunch, a la digital version.

Happy Easter

Just some plein air practicing on the ipad. First weekend of April was free museum passes for bank members so I went to the local Legion of Honor museum and tried to sketch some stuff - what a horrible mistake that was. Way too many people walking in front of my targets and eventually gave up. These two first statues were my first 5 minutes at the museum and in front of the bathroom.

Did a couple of lighting pieces after work parked at the 24 hour fitness gym in Mountain View.

Still hoping I got it

I wanted to do a charcoal drawing to see if I can still do it - haven't actually used charcoal since my fundamental years at Academy of Art. Took a reference photo from the internet and tried to use what I learned about "loose drawings" over the years and apply it to this piece. I only used a vine charcoal, kind of wish I included some white highlights but I got lazy.
