Underwater Lighthouse Redo

Pod Crash

Concept I am working on of escape pods landing on an alien planet.

Rework Fun

It is always good to rework old paintings from time to time to see how much you have improved. I decided to do that today and the results were very encouraging.

 Here is my original painting:


And here is my super quick rework so far. Even at this unfinished stage without any color there is more feeling and depth to my painting:

So...If you are feeling uninspired or feel like you are not learning anything try this exercise...you may be surprised.

Sunset Mountains

Started something new to continue practicing landscape painting? What do you think?

Throne Room

I am continuing work on dynamic perspective in my work. I took one of my previous thumbnails and built on it to make this work in progress. At this point the looseness and size of it reminds me of a storyboard square.

Composition Practice

I need to practice composition for my landscape concepts so I created some black and white thumbnails of a bunch of different scenes. I definitely have my favorites in the bunch. Which do you like?

Here is my progress so far. I am probably about 6 hours into this painting. What do you think?
