Robot sky - work in progress

Here's a bit of the robot and the sky behind it.

Update: here's a second photo with the sky all finished.

Shooter - new hockey painting

#10oclockart #ontheeasel



Here's a detail photo of the painting I just finished yesterday. I was going to call it 'shooter', but my neighbour suggested the more hockey specific 'from the blueline!' - which is where her 8 year old son scored from this week in a game.

Which I think is awesome. I don't think I can even hit the net from the blueline. Good one Nicholas!

Cheers,
Marcel

Monster sketch

One of these days I'm gonna make some full sized paintings out of sketches like this.





Also, it seems the iPhone camera doesn't auto-darken as badly if you put a dark object in the photo, hence the sketchbook.

Big triptych

The day job is done for the week, so now I'm back working on the clouds on the triptych.

Someone on google+ commented on an earlier photo I posted that it looks like something from a kid's story, which I think is great. That feel has probably started to show up in my work because of the great books I get to read to my almost-2 year old daughter, and all of the great illustrators I've come across on twitter and google+

Hurray interwebs!

Ps- I'm also testing out blogpress' tweet and FB features, so thus might get double posted or something.


Cheers,
Marcel

Sketches

I haven't drawn many people with faces over the last few years, as I've been painting mostly landscapes. I guess my art brain felt there was something lacking there, so the other day I ended up sketching people and figures instead of working on paintings.

Here are a couple of the sketches: (apologies for the crap lighting from my iphone camera, I have no idea how to make it lighten things up)
