Napoleon Dynamite study.

Afrikkin12gaugewhaddayathink?!

Nacho.

Did a study of a shot from Nacho Libre.  Check out my steps below as well. :)

Those were the droids you were looking for...

Pfff, idiot.

Away with your weapons! I mean you no harm!

A study from Empire.

Frankenstudy.

Whaddyaknow another bride of Frankenstein study. =P  I swear this is the last one for awhile, I'll study another film for the next ones.  5X7 canvas board, oil.

This one is really similar to the first one I did, major differences are the cropping and the low-key value structure.  This time I really loaded the paint onto the surface and found it had a fairly 'digital' feel once I had enough paint on the surface to move around.

Oil studies.

I did a couple oil studies from a couple films that I like.  These were about 45 mins a piece on 5x7 canvas board.  They took about a week to dry haha!

Bride of Frankenstein "The Monster" - 1935

Day of the Dead "Bub" - 1985

Bride study.

Did another shot from Bride of Frankenstein.  I really dug this angle but definitely had to fight with it.  Gotta work on those low angle shots...=/  On the plus side, I was able to do this gouache thing again.  :)

Bride of Frankenstein film study.

Got a new watercolor moleskin so I went gouache tonight. :)

Four Rooms film study.

This shot caught my eye so I sketched it.

Boris Karloff study.

Started this sketch at work and finished it at home.  Not quite on model but close enough. ;)
Thanks for looking!
