Foliage Study published on No Comments on Foliage Study

Concept Art week. This is one of my first digital paintings, from 2016. I sat on the stone steps in front of our townhouse with the smallest-size Wacom tablet hooked into a cheap laptop. I painted the foliage that I could see just beyond the parking lot, and I thought “maybe this whole digital thing… Continue reading Foliage Study

For this week’s concept art, I painted a photo I took of an armor set from Meersburg Castle. (I painted a different armor set from the same castle about a year ago, found here: Armor Study 1). It took me 7.5 hours to paint, but I compressed it to 50 seconds in this speedpaint video:
