I’ve been trying to wake up early to paint and sketch in the mornings before going to work. Not easy to do. I end up sleeping through some days but so far these are the stuff I’ve been working on.

It’s a turtle with flippers!!!!

Trying out colors for this pencil sketch I had. I guess its an experiment that turn out fine. Yep, I like it.

Drawing faces is not fun but painting with photoshop is because of Ctrl Z!!!!
New year, new painting!!! 12″ x 14″ acrylic on canvas
I wanted to try some acrylic papers so I can sketch and paint quickly without using canvas or boards. Ended up buying these two 400g paper, Strathmore (linen texture) and Canson (coldpress). I only used the Strathmore one and so far I like the result. It doesn’t warp too much when applying washes and holds color pretty well.
Canson paper has a pretty smooth surface so I think it will work great with details, I haven’t tried it so lets see how it goes.
