I had an idea of doing something to celebrate the upcoming season, but this is making me think twice!

combination of both to an extent... mainly looking at photos to get an idea going, and then it's off to the races and the sketching begins, and my mind kinda starts going in different directions, wanting to add this, how this color should flop as the roll comes to its highest peak, i dunno how to describe it, it just happens... never have i ever taken schooling or courses to learn this stuff. In highschool i was basically teaching my art class, not the teacher

I drew everything well, Human faces, Horses(my obsession), and cattle. There was no way to describe how I did things and why I did them..You can learn technique with mediums but your perception of shading, color, proportions and details is something that is already in you. Great work. Keep it up.

Yeah....I remember in high school my teacher just let me do whatever I wanted because I was so much more advanced than the rest. He entered me in art contests and stuff. It was a lot of fun, plus I got to use all the mediums for free. A+ grades all year. In case you are curious, here some of my stuff on facebook. It's all horses for the most part.

these are just the base layers (highlights and shadows) once i get that phase completed (overnight) then i go back over everything in fine detail which is where the time consumption begins. shooting to have this done over the weekend.

I'm a Die Hard Seahawks fan as you can tell, but as the season progresses i will also be doing some 49ers (past and present) paintings, as well as many other "star" players out there...
