Daily Art 2011: Days 005-007

Just catching up on the latest from my daily art project:

DAY 005

Practicing my comic-y stylings with Misha Collins as Castiel from Supernatural. After taking this picture, I decided I needed to "fine-tune" one little thing, and completely ruined it all. If I learn nothing else from doing this project, I hope to learn to stop overworking everything until it's crap. :D

DAY 006

I found a museum archive of these amazing photos of First Nations people from across North America, and they lend themselves really well to this medium of charcoal on brown paper. I'll probably do a ton more of these, I love how this one came out.

DAY 007

Another charcoal and brown paper piece; this is Rufus Sewell as Tom Builder in the awesome miniseries Pillars of the Earth. I couldn't get the expression right, but I like it anyway. :)

The Castiel one was done with a Faber Castell brush pen... I really like them because you can get nice fine effects with the tip. I've been doing a lot of painting with ink but the brush pen lets me get some similar effects without the mess and cleanup that painting usually entails. :D

I'm a big fan of charcoal too, so you'll probably see more of those as I go along. :)

I haven't worked with the brush pens - I'll have to give it a try. Especially if it's similar to ink but not as messy.

Yay for more charcoal \o/
