    New fantasy image

    I haven't posted any Procreate images lately, so here is my latest. It's sort of a riff on a Mucha painting and a statue I saw on a cruise ship. Again, I don't try to over-think these paintings, they just sort of happen. Thanks for viewing.

    New Procreate 4.3 update

    In case you hadn't noticed, Procreate has updated their app yet again. They have added a very nicely designed TEXT feature and a few other smaller extras which are handy. This includes a simple "animation" ability to make GIFs. For those people with web sites, this may be a way to add a bit...

    Still life with Skull

    This is my most ambitious digital painting thus far. I took several photos of various exposures with candlelight only and some with fill lights. I then took the best images to combine in my painting, so as to give it a far greater dynamic range. Just as one's eyes truly see objects in dim...

    Question: For our Benevolent Dictator. Sam

    Sam, I hesitate to ask this in the main Forum, but I wanted to make sure you saw it. You once mentioned to me the name of the company that you use to print your Giclee prints of your Procreate drawings. I've misplaced the note that I wrote to myself (NOT an uncommon occurrence!). Could you...

    Still life #2

    Well, my wife liked the Procreate painting of the apples last week, so I decided to do a companion piece and to have them printed and framed for her as a Christmas present. I had the Clementines roughed out last year as a test of the newer version of Procreate, but it was quite rough. So I...

    Still life

    Last week I found several apples under a tree in my yard. Now this doesn't seem strange on the surface, except it was a magnolia tree and there are no apple trees in my neighborhood! One of the apples had an interesting color pattern, so I thought before eating it, I would try painting the...

    Another fantasy painting.

    Like my "Steampunk Hammerhead" painting, this is another attempt at going crazy with Procreate. With my apologies to Michelangelo, here is my take-off of a detail of his "Creation of Adam" on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I spent over 30 hours on this, trying several new techniques in...

    Colt Defender

    I recently was asked to engrave a gun for another engraver. This was a bit unusual to say the least. The gentleman in question is suffering from failing eyesight and some hand tremors and no longer does any engraving. I thought it an honor that he trusted me with his one of his own pistols to...

    Just for fun.

    I've not had a chance recently to just sit down with Procreate and have some fun. It's been used for mundane black-white operations. So, I went back through some past vacation photos and decided to do a digital painting of this window porch/ledge that I saw in Bruges, Belgium. It was a blast...

    Cameo Carving, mini-tutorial

    O.K. Guys and Gals, you asked for more information on carving cameos, so here's what I've got. Here are photos of the type of shell I use to make the cameo blank. It is a small helmet shell. These are found in the Bahamas but the best ones come from Madagascar. I have not yet found a...
