That doesn't mean you can't name it! πŸ˜†

Oh my gosh! Love love love! What is the dog's name?

Watching quali I was doing tippy taps! So many good results.

And out of nowhere Yuki! 5th? Wow. Even without the tow I think he had a strong lap time.

For real!

Denver about a decade or so ago did a smog study to see if we should change our policy. The question was are there outliers that should be focused on and everyone else left alone. The answer was yes, about 1% of vehicles on the road released something like 80% of the emissions we're trying to regulate. Mostly folks who've intentionally bypassed catalytic converters and so on.

I thought for sure this would be the tipping point to change policy to something more sensible, but nope. We didn't change a single policy....

 

We have something like this in Colorado and I incorrectly assumed it was the same everywhere. I hope it goes through for California.

I hadn't even thought of that. That is rather poetic, thank you!

Thank you! And yes I like trying to add some flourishes of color.

I'm kind of hoping for it, and kind of rooting against it. Love Lewis but not happy with what happened to Sainz.

 

They have so much style. No idea how they ended up with so much style when my wife and I probably have negative style.

My son (lemmy.world)
 

When I asked my son if I could post this he replied "AAAAAAAA! MY FACE FOR THE WHOLE INTERNET TO SEE? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO /s nah post that shit it was fire asf"

I think that means yes.

 

She gave me permission to post this as long as I don't share her name. But she didn't say I couldn't tell you she was our fire bug. She's given us a grandchild and is still grounded for lighting the carpet in her bedroom on fire.

I did this on my samsung phone using #sketchbook by autodesk.

 

I'm definitely going to the wrong cars and coffee compared to this. In my 20s I owned a Saab 900 with a turbo (but no turn name badge) and it was far more fun than it looked. Instead of a beautiful red like this it was baby shit green and matt paint because the gloss later had been gone for years and never replaced. That's the car I finally learned the lesson that oil changes are important when it left me stranded over a mountain pass at 6am due to a thrown rod (third car I did that too)...

 

Left is looking at the model and painting for 1.5 hours, right is taking a picture of the model and keeping the photo of her next to the painting for 15 minutes. Clearly focusing on painting from a digital reference is a much different skill set than looking at a person. I'm going to try to learn the grid process for when I go back.

 

He's too dangerous to be left alive!

This is the last in the series, for now at least. Now I'm going to try to paint some of my family members, which I don't think I'll post. But I'll be here watching everyone else and replying to the stuff that I love most.

Thank you all for your help! Wednesday the 12th is my next live portrait session and I feel far more prepared than I was before. I'm sure not all of these skills will translate to a live model but it'll be much better than my last attempt.

 

The green Ferrari (dino!?) is mine. I've read it's not a great car but I'm a sucker for its lines. With the Nissan GTR very close behind.

 

After Jules eating a tasty burger I was feeling confident enough to take on The Stare. It's my best painting yet but the expression isn't quite right, it's lacking intensity of the original and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Feedback?

I'm doing one more SLJ in this series, it's time for Mace Windu. That'll make 16 and then I'm in to paint some family members. Not sure I'll share them here, privacy and all. But this series has me confident enough to try, I've learned so so much! Thank you for all the feedback, critiques, and advice!

 

Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast!

Alright, what did I mess up? I can't see anything. I'm sure I did, help me see it.
