I made it a New Year's resolution to get back into painting in 2014,
because 2013 saw me paint very little if at all. I set a weekly schedule
of evenings and weekends, a range of 10-30 hours; 45 if I really push
it, forgo sleep, and do nothing else after getting back from work but
sit and paint.
In theory, it's more or less reasonable, but in practice it requires 30 hour-long days and not much of a life beyond. I also realised I cannot always sit eight plus hours in front a computer screen at work and expect to spend another four or five at home. So all that didn't work out too well. :}
Still, I managed to finish a trio of
commissioned portraits, a character lingering in a semi-finished state since
2011, and while I absolutely don't get to sketch daily, it's gotten more regular. I'll post the characters separately; for now, here are the sketches:
The rest is all digital:
For the record, I was happy to find out that eye drops really help. ;)
