perspective from above - same theme, different understanding?
Flat Runs - digital art - painting & original prints - Dan Beck 2007
This is my last completed digital painting - finished last week sometime. It was started after the first same themed piece and prior to the last featured piece from more of the true perspective - […]

Simple Line Figure Exercise and Tutorial
What the above image demonstrates as much as anything is how unlimited digital art can be. The same figure could have been added on to and finished in an infinite amount of ways.
There are multiple paths, multiple possibilities, and all of them can be true at the same time. […]
Break Your Own Rules
The figures from the line drawing exercise were a departure from my more typical work - it was supposed to be something different and fun.
I opted to go two different directions of digital painting at the same time - completing levels 1 and 2, than 3 and 4, until I made […]
reiterating: results are in the doing

teaching experience?
So if it isn’t obvious - this is a continuation of yesterday’s article. And like the lesson before, I will probably give very little technical advice. For even if one is committed to a certain computer painting program, the learning is mostly in the doing.

The first version and digital painting captured the […]
Perspective on Understanding
Rolling Fields - digital painting / original prints - Dan Beck 2004
I’ve been working on a few different paintings at the same time. This is not one of them. But it is appropriate to feature today for two reasons. It does not follow the rules of how to achieve perspective, but it reads […]

Flat Racing - original digital art -Dan Beck 2007
Always a good feeling to create a work of art which not only captures what you are trying to communicate, but feels like it is original art - particularly in the sense of standing apart from other peoples’ work.
Not sure which day, yesterday […]
