lines and shadows

Update-I think I like this composition more.

I was admiring the drawing style of Steve Huston and decided try to mimic it in a digital painting I was playing with. I love his strong lines and shadows.

Mitt

A piece of a larger composition for the Weekly Standard this past weekend, I don't really like it as a whole much today but I do like the Romney character still. Again these are such quick turnarounds I don't get much time to plan and roll it around in my mind, I'm deciding these parts of the process are very important. But I do like these projects and the challenge.

backfire

This weekends piece for the Weekly Standard. An very fast turn around, very little time to think about the composition and refine the drawing and painting, its game time. I like how it turned out. I really like the smoke that was added as an afterthought.
