One of my art goals is to draw a good likeness of someone live in ~10 minutes. My current workflow takes hours to get there with lots of measuring and re-measuring. This is me trying to draw on the fly with no measuring. ~15 minutes.

Feedback?

Started drawing again for the first time in years. I've never been good in drawing from memory, so I decided on this little guy..

Painting I just finished, from a photo

Stuck inside a spacesuit, with no person to help left on the world to which it returned.

Learning quite well. I am happy with this result today. This is the beginning of something swell.

Clearly a genre that needs more exploitation. Vampires Beyond the Thunder Dome! I love the movies and the one video game.

Wanted to end the series with a bang. What do you think?

Another Simple...uhm...sample. Brush Pen, Following the example of Picasso's work

In this vampire series I need to do at least one painting that really showcases the teeth. This is my attempt. How did I do?

My first time painting on a canvas in over a decade, and my first time using painters tape to get crisper lines. I think it came out decently lol

Acrylic paint on canvas. Sea green background with two green cut gem patterns.

This nerd shit is harder than I remembered, the stickers took ages

Currently stuck in a jamaïcain resort, can't go home due to an air transporter union strike. 6 more days in obscene luxury. We are now resorting to colurful drinks with at least 6 ingredients to wait for the next barely informative email. However our survival skills are now razor sharp. We eat as a pack , m'y wife Gets the toasts and fruits while i ordre the omelets. Get the tonic at thé bar, not thé buffet. I dont need a Wilson ball, to keep me company m'y teenagers are juste as good at silently listening.

When I saw the reference photo of Charli XCX I thought to myself, now THAT'S a vampire! Plus I hadn't done one with teeth or blood yet. And now I have.

This are inspired by the style of "XO RAD MAGICAL" on YouTube.

As a conditionally creative person, I'm curious — how do creative people actually rest? 😁

Music, simple doodling, staring at the ceiling, or maybe watching videos?

I just want to understand: why is it that even after resting, I sometimes still feel totally drained - is that normal?
