Quick study: Blue flames

My friend got an art test that involves fire which made me realize that i haven't painted fire in years. Thinking back they were pretty terrible so just had to do a painting to gauge where i am now. 

Speedpaint: girl with pigtails

Another quick practice doodle

Quickies: Cyclops frog tadpole... thing

Doodled a strange creature.

Fan Art: Animal Crossing, Dotty

Dotty! I remember starting the sketch on her birthday 4 days ago. Finally got around to finishing it :)

Painting: The Insane one

I forgot to time myself for this. Less than an hour for sure.
Wanted to play with a significantly different palette from my last few pics :)

Speedpaint: Lollipop under the Tree

30mins
Well... I ran out of time. I wanted to draw a little girl but then I had about 3mins left so a lollipop will do... :D

FanArt: Animal Crossing, Rodeo

Not sure how long I used, less than 30mins I think
I got bored and decided to paint one of my neighbors :)

Speedpaint: Beetle

A bit longer. About 1hr.
Reference used
My friend planned to paint bugs all week and I hopped on to the bandwagon :)

Speedpaint: another old dude

About 30mins
To be honest I wasn't thinking of old man at first until I started on the hair or would have gave him a little more wrinkles.

Valentines

Happy Valentines 

Thank you Ian for allowing me be a part of your life <3

Speedpaint: Portrait

Spent a bit longer. About 35mins

Speedpaint: Dog walking

about 30mins

Speedpaint: Cliff

Argh! 30mins is too short! I barely get the things I want to paint blocked in and *DING!* time's up!
I seem to be using lasso tool much more than I used to, which I suppose is nice as it keeps my layers so much cleaner than when I just block in with brush.
This far from finished pic looks terrible hahaha

Speedpaint: Old man

Old man
30mins
Playing with limited palette that has a small range of values

Speedpaint: Clouds

Cloud practice
About 30mins

Speedpaint: Blowing Bubbles

An ant blowing bubbles in the moonlight :)
20mins or so

Speedpaint: Sad Moon

30mins. Photoshop.

I realized that I need to work faster and should do more short timed paintings after working on a single painting for over a week.
Managed to get way less than I expected done in within 30mins... Still have a lot of work before I can do a decent speed paint.  

Painting: quick portrait

A quick-ish portrait I was working on during work down times. I love green eyes. <3

A couple of hours here and there, not completely sure how long I spent on it.
Used to paint portraits all the time, not sure why I kind of stopped. It is still one of the most fun things for me to paint.
