#93 Draws

Welcome back y'all!  I know it's been a while.  THIS is my sketchbook tumblr page, where I actually tend to update it every day. Although I'm still more of a blogger gal, you'll see most everything shown on this site and more. Just a heads up for those of you tired of my scattered updates ;)

New massacre in Syria reported, 100 dead

There were unconfirmed reports of a massacre in Syria June 6. The reports said dozens of civilians in a village near Hama were slain by pro-government militias Wednesday afternoon.

Well that's kind of depressing...let's lighten it up!

I've found that I did not bring a pencil on this vacation... ah no harm done. I can't get enough of pens!

 birds.

This is Mittens.

Some more gestural kind of stuff

This is Marley.

Trying out some  watercolors.  Really cheap ones, but still nice color studies.

Just to let you know, I'm currently working on a follow up piece to Christian Bale/American Psycho.

It's another "narrative portrait" done in a similar style.  I am super psyched about this process.   Currently, this project is on hold because of some vacation time... but should get rolling again once I get back home.  Same for my Mondokio internship.

I don't know how to give you a hint as to who I'm doing without completely giving it away... so I'll just leave this here...

#84 Christian Bale and other digital things

Pretty happy with how it turned out

It was a pretty fun project! I'm going to draw other silly celebrity portraits in future, definitely.  More of them being traditional probably...but Photoshop painting is still pretty nice.

Here's some landscapes out of my head as an exercise in class.  We weren't supposed to use any reference of any kind...although most people did anyway... I don't understand why these people are in art school!!  Get those creative juices.

I'm redoing the "Dapper Dan" project in Illustrator, and I must say, it's taking forever.  Well... at least it's clean! CLEAN LINES SO CLEAN.  Gonna be worth the time working on this sucker so it's likely I'm giong to be hiding away for the next few days in my art cave.

#83 an IN-BETWEEN

Some Graphic designs...

Guess what- digital painting!

Some linework.  I hope it would be obvious who this is supposed to be!

Here's some other sketches I thought I should add, if only to freak you out.

scary.

I guess I'm going to go for a kind of cartoony/semi-realistic style (keeping it very graphic). Pretty excited about this project... now if I can just figure out photoshop.

Also here's my dapper dans all render-y.  Still not close to being done.  Going to go over it traditionally and see how that goes.
