Birthday!

Not mine, but my best friend's was on Saturday and I went home to celebrate with her. Realizing once I got home that I had no gift for her and no money being a college student with no job. So... just stick with what you know I guess! :D

My friend is bound to be a crazy cat lady but that's okay, I can appreciate that! :D

I had to get those awesome green eyes just right!

It felt really good to get out the paint and brushes, and I've been meaning to do something with those canvases I've had lying around in my room back home, so this was perfect! Now back to the digital paintings and such! (Life of an Animation Student)

Thanks for visiting my blog! :D

A Little Commission Work Lately

Commission Work

  

This is a commission portrait I did a couple weeks ago. It is 11x14

in chalk pastel, and it was a very fun drawing to do.

This is a commission work I did the following week. Its 9x12 and is a pencil drawing. 

Children are always fun to draw and in some ways they're harder to master so its good to see that I've gotten a pretty good handle on it over the years. :)

.~:~.

I am always accepting offers for commission my mediums range all across the board so hit me with what you want and I'll make it happen, I have experience with a lot of different mediums and scales, but I am always up for a challenge. My experience with portraits is probably my strength so far but my skills for animals and landscapes aren't too shabby either so what ever it is I can do it!

Drawings From Intermediate Drawing

   Instead of a final exam, there's a final project. This image is a 18x24 drawing that I created by collaborating different reference images to get this composition. The goal of this drawing was to create a single image that displayed a scene of collaboration, so here I have created a room full of artists/painters who are all collaborating together to create several paintings for a gallery of they're work.

Tea Time For Animators

   This was just a simple sketchbook assignment that I decided to clean up to a full image. The assignment was to draw something from life and add something imaginative to the image, so here is a mug of tea on a saucer and inside of the tea is two Orca whales swimming in the mug.

Surface, Sketchbook Assignment

Structure

   This assignment was to focus on structure and I chose to interpret that with the structure of the body. I found that the Ancient Egyptians believed that there was a pyramid (or triangle) within ones torso, and that acted as the base of our structure. This is where I got my general idea and then I just played off of the natural angles our body has in this position. I really enjoyed doing this drawing.

 

   This is just a few ways I considered digitally editing the image. The significance of the pink triangle is that in the Holocaust gay men were forced to wear a pink triangle so that everyone knew. This was something I never learned in Junior High during our unit on the Holocaust. I have realized that much of the LGBT history is typically overlooked in the public schools.

   Drawing from a personal photograph. I chose this image because my family had just gotten a beagle right before I left for college so I was kind of obsessed... okay I still am but I also thought that it was an interesting angle, with a good composition and the variations in textures and surface I could really showcase my skill.
