AME Bale 2012 Portfolio

Here's the work I submitted to the 2012 AME Bale Travelling Scholarship. They were hung in the finalist exhibition in Melbourne.

Photo Studies

Been totally forgetting to update this gallery, so I'm going to just dump a few things in.

Here are some photostudies from a while back. Ref from www.characterdesigns.com

some portraits

12" x 16"

I've been working on a series of paintings each 12" x 16" in size. Here's a few of them. I will post more later on!

I'm seriously ...

going to try and update a little more regularly and blog like.

Been busy with work, but also a bunch of oil paintings which I shall start putting up soon.

anyway, here's the first "polished" digital painting in a long while.

I'm horrendous and keeping an up to date blog! Anyway..

Here are some digital painting studies, and some traditional life studies in the post below this.

School Studies.

A dump of a few drawings from school over the past year or so.

AME Bale entry!

On Thursday I submitted my entry for the A.M.E. Bale travelling scholarship prize. It's been my primary project for the past few months, and it's nice to finally have it all done.

It's been interesting, had to try to learn to paint in oils a bit better real quick. I'm not sure if I got far, but I definitely learned a lot!

Here is the portfolio I submitted. I know the still life is in the post below, but this is a different(better) photo!

Yes, that's a daggy self portrait.

My first still life

This is my first real still life that I spent an extended period of time on. Fairly happy with the outcome. Learned lots, but still much to go. I finished this about a month ago.

Cheers!

Some studies

So I've been spending a lot of time recently working on oil studies and trying to get some life drawing in when I can. I've also spent the last couple weeks working on a more finished still life. I will post that up when I get a decent photo.
