Airbrushing....

I have just been watching a collection of Youtube videos on painting Warhammer miniatures from the user "buypainted". Looking at some of his work... which is absolutely amazing, I have decided that its time to buy an airbrush.

I have wanted to get one for soooo long. Just havent had the time or the $$ to invest in getting one and learning how to use it. Now that I am single and trying to advance my creative side, I think its time that I stop thinking about getting one and just buy one. Now I have to do some research and work out which airbrush to buy.

If anyone has any insight into airbrushing and brands etc. I would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Weekly Drawing #2

I thought I would make up for the late posting last week by posting this weeks drawing a day early.

This is something that has had many redraws done over the past 5 or 6 years. It was initially something that I put together as a tattoo design for myself back when I first joined the Air Force, but never got around to getting it done. I lost the original many moons ago and have been trying to recreate it since.

To be completely honest. Its not finished. I am going to ink it this week and post the completed work as next weeks drawing. I didnt want to rush the inking as I dont want to have to recreate it again because I messed up the inking.

Tell me what you think...

Weekly drawing #1

Sorry for the late post, have been quite busy. Here is the first of my weekly drawings. I am trying to improve my human anatomy skills and hands are the part of the body that I have the biggest problem drawing.

I would like to credit Mark Crilley for the inspiration and instruction on techniques for drawing hands. Its a bit rough but its not bad for a first attempt.

Now I have to go and write a job application... good times...

Spending too much time in the uncreative mindset

Good evening to all my readers.

I seem to spending a lot of time in the more serious, less creative mindset and have decided that i am going to start doing a drawing every week! so starting today... I will be posting a new drawing every 7 days... By next Tuesday I will have a new, completed drawing posted on here.

Feel free to critique as you feel. I appreciate the feedback. :) Here are a few other drawings that ive been doing lately to tide you over. :)

Been a rather uncreative week...

Well, this week has been a less than creative experience. I have been writing job applications and havent found much time to get any drawing or painting done. I did a little painting of my orcs and did some more on the spider. Here are the progress shots.

Apologies for the terrible photo quality. Im still using an old iphone as a camera.

 These are just Works in Progress and will be much better once they are completed. hopefully by then i have a decent camera and will be able to upload decent photos.

Spent the day at 5000 Feet

I went flying today for the first time in about 6 months. I am trying to get my Private Pilots Licence. Its a very expensive process and I have been trying to get as much flying as I can afford. But its taking a lot longer than I first thought it would

Here are some photos of the adventure. I really think that I have found my calling. Its the only thing that I do that doesnt make my heart race with adrenalin and make me panic. I panic when I drive a car. But when I fly I feel free. I am able to make the decisions that I need to make without panicking. I love the feeling of being in control of an aircraft and I hope to be doing it more in the future.
