Nasty Feet

Hand drawn, marker rendered, then scanned and photoshop edited with layers.

Tips on making this better?

Selfie

I felt powerful today. Because I did a good job at work. And having a bike always makes everything better. I drew the character in pencil then scanned it in to paint. 

2 AM. Yay, good night. 

Quick quickies, Monochromatic studies

Real quick , no true black - and... no white, just felt like using color - resulting in no lightest lights (mainly with the blue).

As for the bow - I sanded the wood down some more today - and for SOME reason, I got fiberglass splinters again :( Even though I didn't touch it. Not healthy, so not healthy... 

Study ~

Figural/tonal study - no color picking (ever). 

First in a while - should practice more before term begins again...

OctopIE

Get it?

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Reaaaaallllly quick - first verse of a Shel Silverstein poem. :) Also, the split down the middle of the pages - no they don't matter. 

Free time!

yay, update! I have a RAINBOW :DD

Ghibli fan art, because I can.

Sleeping Seth

I went up to Gainseville to visit an awesome friend! Being the creep that I am, I drew him sleeping, the light coming from the computer was just too great. :)

Gato.

Had to do something irrelevant to homework for a bit. Voila!

Saturday Sunset

Painted from Sunset viewed from school's south campus! :)

Mom's Birthday (5)

It's my mom's birthday tomorrow. So I made this card. Never used a color scheme like this before. I had trouble placing the writing... I still don't think it's right, it clearly belongs in the spot but I have to keep manipulating the shape of the text. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Troll (4)

I've never done a finished drawing of a guy like this before, I focus too hard on making things "pretty."

 I really like his imperfections :)

Late! (3)

I was aiming for bitter sweet feel... did I hit the mark? 

Two more to catch up on.

The portrait kept looking overworked, so I eventually went over it, and erased it, and went over it again until I got what I wanted. I somehow did get magically better at drawing (somewhat) after first term ended, which doesn't make sense considering I didn't practice from life.. or pictures for an entire 4 months, but hopefully this term i'll be more prepared to manage my time correctly, and i'll get more sketchbook work done (and i'll get better! and more confident!). 

It was a good day (2)

Inspired by a close friend I got to spend time with today. :P

Ice Plant Guy (1)

I'm doing the one a day challenge too then Chance and Phillip. 3:) 

That guy ^ was drawn from the memory of of real man working at a Restaurant called the Ice Plant in St. Augustine. No idea how accurate this is. He seemed excited about the new lunch menu they are soon releasing. Highly recommended for anyone who goes up for a visit!

Viridis

Another version of the green house tank built from found material. Viridis = Latin for the color green. First ever photobash in my life, it made me realize how much I need to practice painting.

Because the writing on the piece isn't visible (it's originally a 4 foot by 4 foot board), here:

 Story Descritpion:
In the year 2022, all natural habitats, creatures, and plantl ife have gone extinct. In an attempt to better their ways of life and to retrieve what they have lost, scientists of the time create a machine that will allow them to travel into a parallel universe, in which the earth has never been inhabited or touched by human life - in order to collect wildlife samples and bring them back to their own world.

Happy New Year!
