Digital Painting

This one was part of our studios Art Blog September horror challenge. At the beginning I was going for a Day of the Dead/Voodoo skull candle holder angle but as the painting grew it ended up a skull in a spooky graveyard candle holder. The final touch was the handle bar mustache which I think I’ll probably use the idea again I like it so much.


This is a little project that I’m in the middle of for my daughter. She is going to be a witch for Halloween so I thought that would be a fun cartoony concept to work on. My goal is to stay very loose with the brush strokes which is always a challenge for me. I have borrowed the general sketch from some other talented artist that I would thank if I knew their name.


This is my first ever digital painting. I had a photo of my son that I used as reference. I’m not sure why but the style ended up really soft. Zach recognized it as himself so I guess that it turned out ok.


This is my second attempt at digital painting of my rock star son TJ. It’s still in progress.
