Hi, I'm Bob Eggleton and this is my painting and "life in general blog" but mostly paintings. Usually they're for sale. Anyway, if you like something contact me at zillabob@cox.net and ENJOY!!
I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

Ooh, I like the texture of your shading and how dark your darks are! Why don't my sketches look this nice? Maybe I should work with charcoal in my sketchbook... I hesitate to because it's so messy. But look at the results you're getting! I really feel the solidity of that dragon.
Annalisa-thanks! Charcoal is wonderful for keeping stuff loose and you can go in and erase stuff from the dark areas. And then on this case, I use white conte to bring out the highlights. I also work on Strathmore ivory drawing paper which has a nice "off" white to it that I like as it isn't so stark!
