Painting Process Animations for Donatello and Leonardo

Here are two shore animated .GIFs showing my process for creating my recent Donatello and Leonardo paintings. Hopefully you'll enjoy getting some insight into my painting process and who knows, maybe you painters out there will learn something helpful along the way. Enjoy!  PS. Sorry for the uneven display of the videos, I can't figure out how to change it in Blogger. Oh well!

Donatello

Here's the third in my new set of Ninja Turtles Paintings: Donatello!

I've got some stuff to do tonight so I thought I'd get this one out a little earlier than normal.

Donatello and all his brothers will be making their debut this Thursday at the Phoenix Comic Con! So in honor of that I will be releasing one painting each day until then!

For now, enjoy Donatello and get ready for tomorrow night when I unveil the final turtle, who happens to be my all time favorite...Raphael! Until then...TURTLE POWER!!!

Michelangelo

Well as promised here's the second in my new set of Ninja Turtles Paintings: Michelangelo!

For those who are curious I decided to give Michelangelo Bruce Lee's classic "Game of Death" nunchukus because A: I love Bruce Lee and B: Dave Wilkins Art did it for one of his paintings of the Trutles and I thought it was such a clever idea I had to do it as well (Dave is one of my favorite artists after all and a major inspiration to me). If you read this Dave, thanks for all the inspiration and great art! You Rock!

Michelangelo and all his brothers will be making their debut this Thursday at the Phoenix Comic Con! So in honor of that I will be releasing one painting each day until then! So stay tuned as tomorrow night I'll have another Turtle to reveal. I wonder who it will be? :) Til tomorrow! TURTLE POWER!!!

Leonardo

Well here's the first in my new set of Ninja Turtles Paintings: Leonardo!

Leonardo and all his brothers will be making their debut this Thursday at the Phoenix Comic Con! So in honor of that I will be releasing one painting each day until then!

If you've kept up with me then you know that I really wanted to try and change up the look of the turtles. However, I decided not to push them as much as I would have liked since I think it would have alienated a lot of fans and been unwise financially. However, I did try and change up some things from when I first tackled them a couple of years ago so I hope you like them!

For now, enjoy Leonardo and get ready for tomorrow night when I unveil the next turtle! Until then...TURTLE POWER!!!
