I've been somewhat jumping around projects recently due to getting art tests at various companies. So I've been getting a run of some unfinished work. I feel like I'd like to show some WIPs that are turning out well. Check these out!
This is a traditional still life done in acrylics. It's been a while since I've painted with a traditional medium so this is some great practice in general. I feel like it helps me think a bit more when I am picking colors for digital paintings as well (due to the limited palette compared to digital work).
This is a city-scape I started because I wanted a bit more practice getting very precise lines in my paintings which is needed to sell the look of buildings in perspective. It's been a tough journey but I'm slowly working out techniques to speed up my process on how to paint perspective based images that require very tight precision like this.
The basic concept of this image was taken from a CGSociety.org matte painting challenge. They had a basic rendered image set up from maya for people to paint over. You can check out the challenge by clicking the link under this paragraph . I didn't actually participate in the challenge, I just took the base image to work from as I liked how it looked and wanted the practice of working from a concept like that.

Last thing I wanted to show isn't really a WIP project, but just a trip to a life drawing session over at the UW. Here's a few sketches that I enjoyed how they turned out. These are a mixture of 2 minute and 5 minute poses.
