I'M BACK

YAYYYY.  First of all, sorry for my obvious lack of posting art over the summer, but I'm finally back!! I spent my summer doing nothing but landscaping, which i enjoyed, but takes up ALL of your energy.  But its fall now, so look forward to lots of illustrations.  STARTIIING off with this blue creature/fox/skunk i created a couple years back, but has a appeared to wish you all a Happy Fall!

Raccoon Story

Final Project for children's book illustration YAYYY!  Create 5 pages for a book, and we get to pick the idea.  So, Basically, a true story about my dad as a boy, walking home through the woods one day, and seeing a baby raccoon, takes it home, naming it Oboe, and how it lived with them:)  I also made up some Rhymes for select pages, so Enjoy!

Also, FYI, these are not in order ;)

The boy lifted Oboe

To show to his mom

And hoped beyond hope

That she would stay calm

As the figure climbed out

The boy lost his fear

For a curious baby 

Raccoon had appeared

 

On hot summer days

Oboe played in his pool

And swam circles for hours

Until he felt cool

Girl, Flowers, Birds.

I love it when a chance comes up for me to do detailed line art.  Its time-consuming, repetitive, and incredibly rewarding. For my decorative illustration final, we had to create an extremely detailed piece that would be transformed into a macbook cover.  I spent roughly 12 hours on this over 2 weeks.  Last night i slept 1.5 hours in the attempt to finish it for this mornings class.  I am really pleased with it. However, as much as I love the black and white, i am interesting in testing out colors too!! Sooo keep posted for color tests;)

Dedicated to all you Bird and Flower Lovers;) Happy Spring!!

Speed Painting Final

Tonight I did my illustration IN-CLASS final, 2 hour digital speed painting!! My first digital painting. WOAW!! It was alot of fun though:) My concept was a girl on the run in a forest chasing something or what not...

Phobias

Alright so i debated not putting these up, cause i feel like it was the least successful project i did this semester, except for the second card. Anyway, basically phobias. in order: fear of going to bed, fear of large bees, the fear that a duck somewhere is watching you, the fear of toads, and the fear of the ugly.  Believe it or not, people in my class didn't understand that a shaved, dyed-pink dog was ugly... is it just me??

SELECT pages from my last project.

I wasn't sold on the last pages I did for my Children's book illustration Class.  However I did like the inks, and colors for two pages... Cause I think they are so GOSH DARN CUTE!

MONSTERBET

Woooo , so three days later, I'm finished creating my own alphabet comprised of little monsters, most of them turned out cute... I can't help but put smiles on alot of them!!!

Materials: Ink pen. old school.
