Office Window, Digital

About 13 years ago I went through the transition from traditional painting for animation to digital. It was really tough. I prided myself on my brushwork but had to transition to tap tap tapping on a wacom tablet, no cintiq existed.
So to practice, I continued my habit of painting the view out my office window but now with digital tools. These are some of my first digital paintings.

Out the Office Window

These are studies of the view out of my office window from DreamWorks back in our traditional painting days. I did something like 70 of these over the course of a year, they're painted in acrylics.

I've posted some of these before and now here are all the ones I have handy in one group.

Office Window

Back in the day I would paint the view out of my office window at Dreamworks.
This was done while we were working on Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron (acrylic). I did something like 70 of these.

I've done many of these over the years from different offices at different times. You can see more here and here or by scrolling back to October 2006.

View from my office window at night. That's the glow of downtown LA over the hill.

In case you haven't seen it yet, I wrote a hell of a book! :) (I stole that line from Ron Burgundy). https://designstudiopress.com/product/how-to-paint-landscapes/ Great for painting in the backyard or solo out in nature, there's even a section on “shut-in” painting out the window. Spring is here and it's time!
