Thursday, December 27, 2012

Lay in with one big brush. I'll try and save it tomorrow with smaller brushes and modeling. Posted the original Kirby I'm working from as well.

MrGoodson2 said...: Probably some of the Bubble Gum groups of the era caused his rage. One of the expedition's transistor radio had The Archies playing Sugar, Sugar as he crossed the bridge.

I'll try and finish this today. It's tougher to paint with oils than I remember 8 years ago.; 9:11 AM
Davis Chino said...: Nice! Way to slap that brush!; 12:34 PM
MrGoodson2 said...: Interesting. Notice the Kirby has the pectoral area on the one side described as a somewhat weird bit of cylindrical striations. An earlier inked in hand? From a pose not deemed dynamic enough?

Looks a lot like a hand in a much more relaxed state.; 12:25 PM
MrGoodson2 said...: I'm going to oil up a windsor newton series 7 tomorrow for the cause of finishing this with the detail I want. I've got some pink soap. Hopefully I get a few paintings out of it before I destroy it; 5:50 PM
MrGoodson2 said...: Utterly.; 5:50 PM
Tom Moon said...: You're right. That hand/pec looks really strange.; 10:45 PM
