Saw a neat little tutorial on ctrlpaint.com about tiny thumbnail concepting, using colors from a photograph. Grabbed 2 random photos from the net and did a bunch of these little thumbnails.

These were the 3 that I iked the most.

Some 5-15mins on each sketch.

Heres a new one..

Some canyon planet.. and a few spaceships flying around it.

I've always wanted to make a really sunny painting some day. Found my Very old sketchbook on CA org and this sketch there. Kinda liked the composition in it. So I thought I might try painting it. Colorizing a BnW sketch was a PAIN! Ughh....

About 3 days I think..
Some photo reference of canyons and rocks..

Haven't done any personal "big" paintings for a while now.. so here's one!

I accidentally found a great environment painter in Ustream, named "Dentyou". I got so inspired that I had to quickly sketch out my idea. It got approved by the original artist and now its finished.

It is the same city as mr. Dentyous's city, but a different part of the city.


Photoshop CS5
Wacom Intuos 4
3 days (about 5-8 hours a day i think)
Blender (for 3d blocking)
MS Paint for sketch!
Color and design reference from Dentyous original painting.


EDIT:
Here are some detail shots:

On last day of 1st week we did urban environment painting..
Heres a library right at our institute.

1st pic is the final, 2nd is a more vibrant, saturated version.. I think it looks good.. so I put it here as well.

I only managed to sketch the building and quickly paint rough shapes and lighting.. then I continued at home with a photo reference.

Some 3 - 3,5 hours all together I think..

Today we all had to paint water..

Photoshop
T5010
About 1,5h
Heureka, Tikkurila Finland.

This time I tried doing some mad made stuff...
The weather was pretty windy and cold.. and I sat in difficult position.. So I managed only to sketch this view. Then I took a photo of it and continued painting at home.

PS CS5
Wacom
Some 3 hours i think..
Reference photo for colors and lighting...

PS, Originally the scene was much colder and a bit lighter.. I tried adding a warming filter and it looked even better.. so I put it here instead of the original color one.

and same time i guess.. some 1,5h
