speed painting

I did sporadic work for the Daily Spitpaint group this week. I did a few in my traditional sketchbook, but I was only able to do one or two digitally. In terms of art output, it was low this week. I was able to do a three hour speed paint for Sketchzone though; It’s a […]

I totally forgot throwback Thursday, but hey it’s never late so long as I post 😀 .
