some side-by-side comparison

These drawings/paintings were done for illustration techniques 2 class that I just finished up today. First set of images are live paintings of an orange. The one of the left is done in oil paint and the one on the right is done in acrylic. As for the second set of drawings, the drawing on the left is done in pencil and the one of the right is done in watercolor.

Johnny Depp portrait

This is an unfinished painting of Johnny Depp. I haven't worked with oil in a very long time so this was a challenge, but a fun one, so I'm not complaining too much.

Sketchbook

This quarter of school is finally over. I scanned a few pages from my sketchbook from my sketchbook class and compiled a small page of some of the stuff I did this quarter. Hopefully I'll finish filling in that sketchbook soon.

I wanted to see how illustration boards handled acrylic, and how acrylic handled color pencils, so I made this little painting on a piece of scrap illustration board I found. I painted this a few months back. I don't know if this is the exact texture I was looking for, but I definitely enjoyed painting it.

Little Lila's adventure

This is a page from a children's book I turned in for my book illustration class. All the pages are kind of rushed, but I really wanted to get all the pages done and turn in a finished book. The book definitely needs more development, something I'll probably work on later. For now, I'm just glad I got the book bound and handed in on time.

My sketch for fantastic illustration class. Going to paint it in acrylic on watercolor paper.

Finally created a blog!

I finally created a blog! I'll try to update this as much as I can, with art/jewelry/photos.
