Galadriel – Fanart for The Rings of Power the New Lord of the Rings series coming from Prime Video in September, 2022
Yesterday, in a hazy, covid induced fog, I completed this painting of Morfydd Clark as Galadriel. This fanart piece was created in the vein of the work that I have been doing in relation to the Wheel of Time TV series since 2019. Taking the actors cast in the show and depicting them as the […]
The Eye of the World Fanart
“I deny you. You have no power over me, and I will not kneel to you, alive or dead.” Rand Al’Thor – The Eye of the World – Robert Jordan. Josha Stradowski is an excellent Rand. Both in appearance and execution. Aside from whatever objections I have about the writing of the TV show I […]
Improving the Artists Ability to See
As you may know, I have been on a journey to create 100 portraits. I am counting the piece I posted today, depicting Tom Holland, as #60/100. This process has stretched out far longer than I had hoped. My goal was to complete 100 portraits in 2021. I realized at about number 50 that that […]
Scarlett Johansson as Graendal Fanart Wheel of Time Drawing
Here is the beginning of the third piece in my fancasting the heroes series. I will be posting my progress this way going forward. Livestreaming just doesn’t work because of my slow internet.
Painting a Fantasy Novel Character in Procreate
In this video I share my process of creating a portrait of Moiraine Damodred. Aes Sadai of Tarvalon as played by Rosamund Pike in the upcoming series produced by Amazon Prime TV. The struggles to see correctly continue. But I do feel like I’m growing in my ability to draw and paint portraits. Procreate is […]
Amelia Earhart
This last week I completed a small 8″ x 8″ painting of Amelia Earhart. The piece was precipitated by a friend of mine asking if I’d be interested in taking part in an Art giveaway on Instagram. I decided to partake! To create the piece I looked up a whole bunch of photos of Amelia […]
Captain Marvel Portrait
Hey gang! I’ve completed my latest superhero portrait! It’s a timely rendition of Captain Marvel. I hope you like her. I’d like to say I’m going to go see the movie but I have a sneaking suspicion that time and budget will not allow it! Let me know what you think of her in the […]
Perfectionism
This morning, I am thinking about perfectionism. During a recent conversation I had with my very talented wife about talent, skill level and completing projects, she made a comment that made me think about this topic. (See her work on her instagram account here) One thing you need to know about my wife is that […]
DC Superhero Takeover
Hey everyone! Last year I decided to try my hand at creating some superhero fan art. I started with none other than the fastest man alive. The Flash. Moved onto the Green Arrow and just recently finished Supergirl. I personally think that the actors, Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell and Melissa Benoist have been very well […]
100% Effort is Contextual
I always tell my kids that I don’t really care what their marks are looking like in school as long as they give 100% of their effort. I believe if they apply this mindset to life, they will ultimately succeed. We all have different levels of passive talent. However, if we learn to apply ourselves […]
