'Brown'
Color Theory Tip: 'Brown' is not a color. To get a 'brown' you simply take any Primary or Secondary color and mix in it's complimentary color (like mixing Orange and Blue) which will desaturate it, making it look grayer...then add white or black as needed for value...thus, 'Brown' can be made of ANY colors. When you think of brown, what things come to mind? Dirt, Bears, hair, fur, etc...all of those come in a version of 'brown' but none are necessarily the same color. Dirt, literally comes in all colors, depending on the contents of the dirt, yet we always think of it as 'brown'.

(2010-Nov-17) 20th Daily Doodle: Matus Valent Fan Club (added a color layer and a film grain layer).
To paint this I use, what I call, my Artist's Byakugan (painting reality or what I see...as opposed to my Artist's Sharingan; copying an artistic style...these are Naruto references, if you're not a fan and don't know to what I am referring.) To sum up the ideas, the Artist's Byakugan can see reality clearly... it can be described as intensely observing the subject and simply rendering what you see while giving up what you 'think' is there (meaning, avoiding drawing what you 'think' a nose or eye, etc, looks like, as that will lead you toward drawing iconic images, and just draw what the nose or eye, etc, actually looks like in front of you). In contrast, the Artist's Sharingan can see patterns and techniques, allowing the artist to mimic other styles... both are very optically intensive and demand a lot of mental energy. @_@

(2.5 hrs) (got a little OCD about this one...this was the Work In Progress after 2.5 hours)

hrs, due to many, MANY interuptions...sigh, I suppose these daily doodles are best done in the morning when it is quieter in the house)

Why Gnomes Have Pointy Hats
(2 hrs, due to interruptions from Time-Warner and Voting). I have had this idea in my head for a long while...trying to imaging an unusual reason why Gnomes are typically shown wearing pointed hats. A number of reasons I went with this concept: the 'tail' in the hat allows the hat to be more animated and expressive; the hip being so high up allows for longer legs, making them faster and able to jump higher than one would expect from such a diminutive being; and a fun idea is that when they 'sit' it looks more like they are lying down, which could allow them to surprise enemies by faking unconsciousness, 'lying down' and, with the help of the tail in their hat, spring to life to attack. :-B
Scott Herman
hrs) with Reference Photo, for comparison. For those of you who may not not, Scott Herman (of http://www.scotthermanfitness.com/ ) is a GORGEOUS physical trainer I found on youtube, and I did not do him justice in the 2 hours to which I limited myself. :P
Blondy
(2 hrs) (I think it is time for me to do more face studies...I was having the toughest time getting the face right, and I still don't like it, lol) (btw, this is from my head, not from a picture or model) I'm not particularly proud of this doodle, but one must not fear failure if one is to succeed, right? :P
Alien Dog 2
Elmo
In my own defense, I was working on an unfamiliar laptop and the connection was not working well so all kinds of weird visual things were going wrong with my Cintiq. In all, I think I spent like 20 minutes on this...then Logan started demanding we play games on my iPhone 4. LOL
1st Blog post!
