Test 8/ 1hr

The first "kind of..." speed paint of the year!  About 1 hour/ without reference.
Try to get myself be familiar with color palette.  Experiment with brushes and try to speed up my painting skill.  The lighting is not that good, need more contrast, but Im not really worry about that.  What I'm really try to achieve is to sharpen edges and be able to paint more define line.

Fall 2011 semester just started!

So I'll probably take a break from speed paint for awhile. However, I'll keep post some other stuffs on my main blog "joetirasuwan.blogspot.com" I'll do speed paint from photo reference whenever I have chance!

019/30 mins

Finally come back for speedpaint. I've been going outside sketches instead of stay home and paint in front of my computer...

I saturated sand and ocean's color on purpose. The wave is pretty tricky to paint. I feel I should have simplifed shapes better.

Test7/ 3hrs.

I took one of my doodle I posted on my main blog and play around with color. Dont know if it works tho...hahaha
Once I got the pose and proportion, everything went pretty quick. The drawing and painting was pretty roung tho, so I count it as a speedpainting piece.
No reference/ From imagination.

Test 6

Creepy red riding hood! More study of night scene and without reference. The values on the girl and the fire are off. I know it should be darker on the shadow side. The background has light from the moon is probably to bright. I think it suppose to be darker as well. I stopped after 45 mins.

Test5

Revisit my old visdev project. A quick value study of Green Knight temple scene. Just like the previous post, a quick sketch about 45 mins of a fantasy japanese temple.

Test4

I've been distracted to do something else so I haven't posted any new speed paint for the past 2-3 weeks. However, I did some quick doodles and ideation sketches which I was hesitated to post them here. But this blog is meant for speed painting and my studies anyway...so here you go!
This took me about 50 to an hour. Just a scene from my imagination. Suppose to take place in fantasy japan world...evil temple, asian Lord of the ring..overcast day kinda thing... It looks really quick and fuzzy. I'll try to finish this piece later when I have time...hopefully!
