Digital Painting Techniques Volume 2

Digital Painting techniques is finally out!!! I'm so honored to be a part of this book! If you want to learn how to paint digitally, learn new tricks, how to create your own custom brushes and more, this book is a MUST HAVE. There are many great artists featured in this book, too many to name them all, but I will at least name fellow Schoolism instructors such as the great Bobby Chiu, and the amazing Sam Nielson. This book is smokn' hot!

Sneak Peek #3

I've been very busy which is a good thing, but it's been hard to find time to do anything extra, even hard to find sketching time for me which I don't like. I need to squeeze that in more. Anyways, for now, this is a small crop from a larger piece that I did a couple weeks ago . . . I'll share the whole piece after it's been published.

What my students are doing at Schoolism!

This is an example of what my students are currently working on for my class at Schoolism. This work was done by Duane, who I believe is my oldest student yet, he's 70 years old and works harder than most people I know. I think he's kicking serious butt!!!

Also, I am planning on putting together a apprenticeship type class on drawing and painting caricatures. This class will be more advanced for those who want to really push themselves. I haven't gotten everything figured out yet on what exactly I will cover, but I do know that it will be hardcore. I will put a lot into it to make it worth your while. Any suggestions of what you would like to learn from me, I'm all ears!

Editorial Tease Work In Progress

Tease for editorial illustration . . . keeping it painterly/loose and "cool" looking . . . haha!

Another sneak peek of the painting I am currently working on.




I just received word that my painting of Lil Wayne for Rolling Stone and my Scott Storch for The Miami New Times have both been accepted in the 49th Illustration West Competition, for the Society of Illustrators in L.A.
