Wheatley Ring

I ordered a fan-made, 3D-printed ring from Ammnra on Shapeways, and I had a blast painting it :) Wheatley has always been my favorite character of Portal 2. The details are so tiny that it is easy for the paint to make it look chunky (like mine does), so definitely water down the acrylic and paint carefully, and in layers.

Putting This on Hold

I don't think I am ready to tackle this yet, and that's ok. It seems that the more I struggle with the intent to finish paintings, the more frustrated I am that it isn't exactly what I want it to be. I have been listening a lot to Bobby Chiu, and it is like catching up with an old friend. Some good advice he mentioned in the book The Perfect Bait is that "with knowledge, your style will form itself."

Daily Sketches

Every day, rain or shine, I am going to draw something in my sketchbook. A lot of these will be crude imitations of others' work, but my hope is to keep the pencil moving :). I have linked the original art for those who are interested.
