Yosemite Gouache Sketches

I went to Yosemite with a few painter friends and did these gouache sketches.  We tried to give ourselves limited time frames to work within so that we'd be able to check out more spots.  Most of these are from the main valley area.  Still figuring out a couple of basic lessons the hard way, but the process is starting to feel more natural now.  I'm open to suggestions for awesome landscape artists to check out.

I tried painting smaller this time... seems like the initial block-in goes faster, so I get to play around with the color a little more.  Anyway, I had fun!

This weekend we painted at City Hall in Pasadena.  This one was a struggle the whole way, but at least I had fun playing with all the different colors in the shadows.  Next time I will probably tackle a smaller area and really work it out.

And here are a few background designs I did for Motorcity early on.  These were all interiors for Kaia's hut in episode 4.  I'm really looking forward to posting stuff from the next two episodes, so stay tuned.

And finally, here's a Zone of the Enders print I've been working on for an upcoming convention.  If you're near Anaheim in mid-June, come check us out!  I'll be tabling with two other Motorcity artists selling fan art prints.  http://am2con.org/
