Restoring old pictures

1. I love fun finding pictures of my mom.

2. Might have a little wear and tear but that happens over time.
3. Can I fix this picture? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I thought this would be a challenge but it didnโ€™t come out too bad. The color correction was the easiest to do, had a little challenge with restoring the wall but I think the hardest part was removing the creases on my mother face. I wonโ€™t get into all the details but thank god for photoshop.

Starbucks Drawing, what a joke?

I havenโ€™t done a drawing on a Starbucks cup in a hot minute. Could you imagine The Joker on your #Starbucks cup? The #drawing is fitting for 2020 ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝ

Landscape painting (2003)

My favorite painting. I didnโ€™t know what to paint for my class and my teacher gave me the freedom to paint whatever I want. When you are staring off into the distance, something will give you a bolt of inspiration. Not really, haha! I just looked out the 2nd floor window and started painting.

Self Portrait (2002)

Itโ€™s been a while, I donโ€™t know where to start so here goes. I remember painting this for my final and my teacher asked me what do you see and I said peace, my teacher was like why? Where do you see that? He said it was all dark, gloomy and depressing. I told him when I play my guitar, Iโ€™m at peace plus I told him it was my painting and that is what I see and feel. I was very surprised when he said that to me, I figure for being a painter himself you can interpret the artwork how ever you want. He was great painter but I donโ€™t think he knew how to teach, there was a lot of things we disagreed on and it discouraged me from continuing on to the next painting class or paint for really long time.

I love you Max.

I'm so happy that I have these moments but it also makes me sad that you're not here to be our snuggle buddy. It brought me joy that you found Tracy and told her to take you home. Thank you for lighting up our hearts, We love you monkey โค๐Ÿ˜ข

Speed Drawing Challenge

 My friend sent me a link to a speed drawing challenge, I always like drawing quick warm-up sketches, but I never timed them before. 

 The rules are simple โ€“ each artist picks their favorite character and sketch it three times by hand in 10 minutes, 1 minute, and 10 seconds. Push your limits and see what you can come up with. 

 A fun little exercise for any artist.

Break it Down!

Probably my biggest weakness, #drawing #hands and #fingers. I never can draw hands right, hopefully this will help.

If I'm drawing hands, I might as well sketch out some eyes. I'm not bad at drawing eyes but there's room for improvement. ย

Fixed another painting, I liked what I did in 2007, but I always felt it was unfinished.

Just like the hills in the painting, the hands bother me in this drawing. It's hard to believe I did this #drawing 16 years ago.

The enlight app really makes my drawings pop. It's funny that I was going to leave this drawing alone after I inked it. This might be a possible cover for Cruel Melody's new EP

The Joker (Cover)

I like it when DC comes out with a cover for you to draw on because it gives me a chance to do my own variant cover. ย
