ART: Groot and Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy

I FINALLY created some new artwork!  It's been over 2 months since I painted anything!  The last portrait I painted was Catwoman in Febuary and then Leeloo (The Fifth Element) back in January!  I've only painted 2 portraits so far this year?!  How did that happen?!  That's horrible!

Anyway, I'm going to try to get back into the habit of creating and sharing my artwork 2-4 times a month.  I would love to have something new each week but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that.

I actually got the idea to paint Groot and Rocket from my friend.  I asked all of my friends on Facebook, which hero/villian should I paint next and this was one of the ones that everyone seemed the most excited about, so I gave it a shot.  This watercolor painting took me around 4 hours to complete.

Who should I paint next?  I would love some ideas!!

Here are some that I've already done, just in case you missed them:

Ironman

Wolverine

Black Widow

Daenerys (Game of Thrones)

Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)

Maleficent (Angelina Jolie)

Sin City's Nancy (Jessica Alba)

Captain Jack Sparrow

The Notebook #1

The Notebook #2

(those are just a few that I've done recently, I didn't want to go too link crazy and drive you nuts!)

Finally some new art: Catwoman Watercolor

I have really dropped the ball lately with creating artwork once a week.  I think my inspiration just comes and goes, and I was having an "off" moment.  I'm going to try to get better with creating something new every week for Friday.

Anyway, Wednesday night I sat down and created this watercolor portrait of Catwoman.  It's been almost a month since I've created something so I was a little bit rusty.  However, this one only took me about 2 and a half hours to do.  

I wanted to continue with my "comic book series".  I've already painted, Ironman, Black Widow, and Wolverine so I thought I would add a DC comic character into the mix.  I've always love Catwoman, and I will always believe that Michelle Pfeiffer was the best one (sorry, Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway!!).

Here are a couple progress shots:

I also did an acrylic painting of Nancy Callahan (Jessica Alba) from a comic/movie called Sin City.  I'm kind of a big comic nerd, I guess. haha!

Who do you think should be my next comic character? Who do you think played the best Catwoman??

Iron Man watercolor painting

Hi everyone!!  It has been WAY too long since I created something new so I forced myself to sit down and paint last night.  I decided to stick to the comic book theme that I've had going lately and paint Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).  It took me close to 4 hours to do....

What do you think??

This was my reference photo...for those who haven't seen the Iron Man movies.  I lightened him up a lot more in my painting.

Here are some progress shots.  I wish I would have taken more, but I didn't even think about it until I already had the face done.

Wolverine watercolor painting

 It's been a while since I created a new painting, so last night I sat down and forced myself to create something... and I'm actually pretty happy with the way it turned out.  It took me around 5 hours from start to finish.

I have always been a bit of a comic book dork.  Wolverine was always my favorite character, so I had to try him.

I think I may have goofed a little bit on his mouth but I like the way the eyes turned out!  What do you think?

I am going to try to get back into creating something artistic every week... I hope I can stand by that!  I always feel so much better and less stressed out after creating something new.

A couple progress shots

Do you like comic books or the comic book movies??  If so, who is your favorite character?

Sin City - Jessica Alba

How many of you have seen the movie Sin City or read the comics??  If you have then you have heard of little Nancy Callahan.  Jessica Alba plays her in the movie.  

It's a really gritty type of movie that is not for everyone but I'm a comic book nerd so I loved it.  I loved that they kept the whole theme and look of the movie as if it came out of a comic.  

Anyway,  I decided to paint one of the scenes from the movie...

Progress

Hello again everyone!!

I've been working hard to get my site up and running.  I've added a few tabs at the top to help people follow me easier.  I'm still working on getting the photos/scans that I need to use for Etsy.

I thought I would show you a few progression shots of my paintings, so you would be able to see the artwork slowly come to life.  If I would have thought ahead I would have taken more!

 Step one: I always do faces first....I'm not sure why.  And then the black..

Step two: I started working on adding some color for her hair

FINISHED!!!
