I've done my first spitpaint. It's a group in which daily you paint a speedpaint of a chosen topic.

And... I've been doing some other studies to.

Pasztet

Oh, man I'm neglecting this blog so badly. 

I've accumulated so much paintings since the last post. Lets start with a work for Falchion Games for  their game Go to Hell Dave and some step by step progress 

You can find them here - https://www.facebook.com/GoToHellDave?fref=ts 

 Sketches

 and some concepts

 Ah, this is art for Legacy tcg

  So, Recently I've started experimenting with ink. 

This is a first sketch of Kim Coates and Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy. 

Tig looks crosseyed and Opie looks plain weird. I hope my newer paintings will look slightly better.

Recently a friend asked me to paint something for an information book for a fantasy convention.
I felt awesome seeing everyone there carrying a copy around.

Fantasy illustration

Ok so this is another part of my progress on the illustration I started in the last post I believe. 

I progressed from the idea of a victorious siege of a town to an army  of  evil elves that turn into stone upon the light hitting their skin. Also, I sunk the city.

Ok, recently I had some busy times moving out from the house I've been renting and since I've finished university I wanted to celebrate and spend my last few weeks with friends. 

It's been a wonderful three years guys and gals. 

I still don't know what I'll be doing with my life yet. I know I'm  starting a deathline challenge when I come back to Poland

I'll certainly try to get some art job going on and carry on with freelance. 

 A quick colour gesture study. Remember do quick ones whenever you can.

I've started a new "generic" fantasy scene I've been working on the composition lately. Usually I don't think about it so much and finally screw over the painting so this time I made sure I've done some sketches and tweaking around.

In the final composition I chose I carried on with making lots and lots of changes This is what I came up with.
Yeah I know it's not so great. I'll keep on working on it tomorrow.

Tracists : P

This morning I found on facebook this post about a school in Singapore that teaches students how to paint through... tracing. When it comes to me I think it's already harmful, but they also use the traced images to market their school which is not fair at all for the actual artists.
Please read this article and repost it wherever you can

Also if you want to know why tracing is so bad go to Dan Warrens blog. He explains quite clearly why it's bad for you:
