Shoki

Drew on and started the background today.  Exciting and daunting at the same time, but I'm very happy with the direction the piece is taking.

I've decide to focus on the background down to the back of the knees for now.  3/4 sleeves and chest to follow.

More clouds and rocks down the other side next time, or possibly outline more oni on the butt cheeks and thighs...
Usually the night before our sessions I stay up really late and do a loose sketch and try to formulate a game plan for the next day.  For this one it seems to work better than tripping out weeks beforehand.  Working on trying to capture whatever comes to me at the moment.

Graffiti

Fun graffiti-esque piece I finished today.  From a pen drawing his friend did.  Super nice guy with a very cool artistic appreciation side.  

Blossom Branch

Outlined this one the other day.  Went extremely fast and smooth.  She sat perfectly and everything flowed very well.  Did it all in one shot with no breaks and felt very much "in the zone" the whole time.  Very nice client and piece.

Color is being installed this Saturday...
