I've been able to get away from using under pencils and just going freehand with the ink. The goal is for a series of prints for next years <a href="http://www.megaconvention.com/" target="_blank">MegaCon</a> in Orlando. I also plan on using the same technique for a new noire style comic I'm working on with my friend Sarah Wallace. Hoping to get the comic finished by <a href="http://www.megaconvention.com/" target="_blank">MegaCon</a> as well, but if that doesn't happen at least ill have prints ready for sale. Here for your viewing pleasure is Yvonne Craig as Batgirl from the 1960's Batman series and Alison Brie from Community and Mad Men.<br />

Here's a look at my Rapunzel coloring page currently being colored by hundreds of kids at the Magic of Disney Animation attraction at Disney Hollywood Studios. I was very happy with how it turned out and it is very similar to the one I teach people how to draw in my Animation Academy class. It has also become a favorite among the guests over the last couple weeks. However, it will soon be removed and replaced. So if you happen to be visiting Florida's Disney parks be sure to run over and snag this free coloring page before its replaced and gone forever.</div>

I'd like to do a whole series of marine creatures. I started about a month ago with my second watercolor ever. I've had a love for pelicans ever since I had my first opportunity to swim in the ocean. I was in Southern California at a beach near Huntington Beach (but not Huntington Beach), I got out pretty far and i floated in amazement as pelicans dove down all around me. They would strike downward from the air, shoot straight into the ocean and come out with a fish. My fascination for them only grew once I moved to Florida and I see them on a regular basis. So I combined a photo I had taken with another photo I had taken of a lighthouse near Miami, and I set it to watercolor. As you can see, I need some work on my background washes, but I think the pelican turned out well.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TSaYZ3CFN1I/AAAAAAAAALI/q1bem0Exs6I/s1600/P1062739.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559298360072288082" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TSaYZ3CFN1I/AAAAAAAAALI/q1bem0Exs6I/s400/P1062739.JPG" /></a> My second wildlife painting adventure came after my wife bought me a Beluga Whale interaction at SeaWorld for Christmas. Such adorable and awesome creatures. I had to paint one. For this one, however, I used acrylics which im much more comfortable with. I think it turned out well. My camera doesnt quiet do it justice though. Next I think Ill tackle dolphins and penguins...maybe Ill alternate birds and sea mammals.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TSaYZhzQbVI/AAAAAAAAALA/OUz-igkLU1k/s1600/P1062736.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559298354372963666" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TSaYZhzQbVI/AAAAAAAAALA/OUz-igkLU1k/s400/P1062736.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Brian James Fichtnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12642010344729564241noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329175354892146889.post-9133312127216913392010-12-24T20:19:00.000-08:002010-12-24T20:19:00.368-08:00Merry Christmas!!!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TQbwpan-izI/AAAAAAAAAKs/8kCmb7eA3Eo/s1600/mickey%2Bwatercolor%2B4x6.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550388185093016370" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sKD7ICIY9V8/TQbwpan-izI/AAAAAAAAAKs/8kCmb7eA3Eo/s320/mickey%2Bwatercolor%2B4x6.jpg" /></a> Merry Christmas everyone!
