Pelikan drawing ink is/was my go-to. Works well on everything, including clayboard.

 I'm pretty ecstatic about the outcome of this. Really synthesized my thoughts and pushed out a great product.

Quick portrait sketch on a literal piece of cardboard garbage. Didn't grasp the best likeness of the subject, but it was pretty fun.

I rarely ever do traditional. But I've been taking painting classes for a few months and made something that I kinda like for once.

Sort of a practical question. Two artists that I really admire are: Rheni Tauchid: http://www.rhenitauchid.com/gallery.html Francoise Nielly : http://www.francoise-nielly.com/index.php/galerie I'm entirely self-taught, fairly incompetent, and something I've noticed is that a lot of their colors are way more intense than anything I'm ever able to produce on canvas. I have one of Tauchid's books and something she routinely references is using lots of glaze layers to give color depth. But frustratingly, I always feel like my colors get even more muted and duller as I try to add layers. I've watched youtube videos of Nielly painting and she doesn't seem to do a lot of layering at all, at least in a glazing way. Her paintings are especially hard for me to process (part of the reason I like them) because her color choices often seem all over the place- but the finished products are vibrant and full of depth. So I guess I'm wondering: is there something I can do mechanically differently to get more intense colors? Is it just a matter of using different paints/ground? I'm using mostly Golden heavy body on whatever the intermediate canvas is called or clayboard.

It looks like Nielly works in oils, which are going to have a higher pigment density than acrylics. Pigment density is the absolute determinant of color intensity when you control for all other factors. However, I don't think it's impossible to achieve that kind of striking color with acrylics. The other thing is that Nielly's colors can be arbitrary because she has a good handle on value. It really doesn't matter what colors you use in a graphic arrangement of values. Like for example, all of these are still recognizable as a human face etc. because the values remain correct, even though the colors are nuts:  Here is one of Nielly's paintings in B&W:   The colors don't matter -- but that's why she can get away with really outrageous colors.

Pigment density is the absolute determinant of color intensity when you control for all other factors. However, I don't think it's impossible to achieve that kind of striking color with acrylics. This is the brand of acrylic I use. I've seen their selection of paint in person, and it includes several neon-bright colors. I figure the pigment has to be processed to be so bright, and you have to buy the paint if you want to achieve those neon colors. It's impossible to mix that color somehow. http://www.novacolorpaint.com/orderform.htm go down to the fluorescent section. Another possible factor is the picture being color adjusted even slightly, and that you're seeing it on your computer monitor, which is RGB, rather than RYB.

Is this the finished product? I'd rather it just be left as it is. I love the negative space and uncertain depth of the room.

Couple of new things, we're getting closer to October so this year I wanted to do some Halloween themed stuff. Here's a zombie and a screaming skull so far. Trying to improve my ink technique.

Hey so I have a thread in GBS for this but why not here too, since I particularly like this one I did today. It's margaret thatcher as everyone's favorite alien menace, the flatwoods monster. Ink on paper. using brush and dip pens.

Have you ever made anyone slenderman or is that stupid? Also since everyone posts their life studies here's mine

My watercolor class had a paint-whatever-you-want-to lesson, so I picked some old Indian dude because I've probably drawn humans like four times in my life.

I epoxied it to the back of the panel, which is made out of MDF panel that I cut with a jigsaw, then I used sculpy (polymer clay) on top and epoxied that to the MDF panel and filled in the cracks with spackle. It's lit with some little lights I got at Joann's I think, wedding things. I suppose it would be a lot easier if I just made it in Zbrush and got it 3D printed, there would be far fewer imperfections, but I like the tactility of using my hands. I mean, I'm not the best sculptor in the world (I draw a lot more) but these projects are fun! I attached an earlier one I did for a "study on love" show we did here in Madison, where each artist was supposed to create a representation of whatever "love" meant to them. I did an abstract symbol that has two sides joining together. sigma 6 posted:This is pretty fantastic! Thanks!
