Posts will hopefully start to get a bit more frequent after the next week or two. The ship in the dock started as a quick sketch to try and figure out its shape, before I go on to finish the black and white thumbnail.

I tried to mimic this quickly right at the end of painting with a bit of photo ref, but not sure that it works that well. Might be too subtle, or maybe the lighting of the landing area itself needs to be changed.
