Speed Painting in Procreate

in art •  7 years ago 

Well we finished up work early today. Really early. Like, I was done work before I finished my first coffee.

Bonus!


Only thing was, it was cold and rainy all day.

Because of the rain I didn't really feel like doing anything outside, even though there is no snow where I'm at...... for now; we will get snow tomorrow. I spent the day lazing around my room drawing. I didn't have any clue what to draw today. I've been kind of coming up empty trying to think of something. So while I was surfing a little bit on Steemit, I noticed @nateaguila's post today with some web resources to check out.

I checked out Pexels.com from his post and decided to grab a couple of photos to see if I could get some inspiration from them. I grabbed 4 landscape images to make a weird kind of background, and then I grabbed this girl and mashed all the photos together into a rough layout.


And then, using the magic of the Apple Pencil, I came up with this...

By the time I finished, it was still raining. I headed out for some supper and then I went and watched some of the guys I'm working with play in a hockey tournament. When I got back, still raining. So I also created a speed painting video and a little tune to go with it. It's been a pretty slow day, that's for sure.

I really enjoy those speed-painting videos and watching your art come together. Looks like a great way to spend a crappy day. I'm sure I've said before that if you enjoy what you are doing, and I can tell by your art that you sure do, then the time is not wasted. Keep them coming.

Hey, that’s pretty cool! Thanks for the shout out. Speed painting vids are so mesmerizing.

It doesn’t help that you selected such a hypnotic instrumental for the music. I’m sure you embedded at least a couple subliminal messages into my brain.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the boost to get some creativity flowing again.

I can't speak about the subliminal messages I included: they won't work as well if I tell anybody about them.

Really cool work! I've been wanting to check out pexels as well.. we're supposed to get a decent amount of snow over the weekend here, as well. Strange shit!

I'm so tired of winter. Just when you think it's over, BAM!! Another snow storm.

You have done a fabulous job man!
It's pretty cool!

Awesome! Good job!
