Mountains Completed by Robert Chapman

These mountains certainly didn’t take all that long to finish, eh? I painted this in Photoshop in about 4 hours, if I were to toss out a guess. Not too shabby! This probably would of been something that took me more than a few days to finish maybe just a few months or so ago. Now, I’m whole heck of a lot more proficient when it comes to using the various tools, filters, and boy do I love that mixer brush. I’ve been using that brush for years now, but it’s just so good at blending colors together to achieve specific effects. It’s my go-to digital painting tool.

Unfinished Mountains by Robert Chapman

Happy Monday! This is the second last Monday of my Year of Creative Habits project. By Sunday after the next I’ll be all finished, and this website will stay at exactly 365 posts from then on. Someday I would really like to put a book together filled with all of my daily blog posts from the past year, as well as various finished pieces of artwork from that time. I’m not sure if this website will be around forever, and so I would like to have something to show for it. Even if it’s just an electronic book I can share with my friends and family, or whomever is interested in having one, of course.

Little Emily by Robert Chapman

I figure before my Year of Creative Habits is behind me (which happens in less than two weeks!), I should do what I said I would do a little while back; start trying to draw some people! This is my youngest niece, Emily. She’s a few years older than this now, but I found this picture in a Facebook album and right away I knew  had to draw it. It looks so celebratory. This must of been the best day ever.

Sorta Death Star Complete by Robert Chapman

I wonder to myself, if I only posted this finished (?) piece of artwork and you’re seeing it for the very first time right this second in it’s finished state, would it seem more impressive? Obviously yes, right? During my Year of Creative Habits I need to post my progress every single day for a year, so it’s unavoidable for people like you to see my more complicated content each and every day as it gets published. So, I’m wondering how I should go about showing off my content when my year long adventure is completed in just a couple weeks from now.

Sorta Death Star by Robert Chapman

Now I feel that the scene is starting to really come together. I’m starting to think that I should of tried to paint Pluto in the background there, but I’m not going to redraw it. Not to mention that in the Star Wars universe, it’s obviously not set in our galaxy. I just think it would of been a bit timely to throw Pluto in there, and I wish I would of thought of it earlier on today.
