#75 Hitler was a vegitarian

Here's a wip on an illustrated factoid. "Hitler was a vegetarian" was picked randomly out of a hat, and I must say it was quite fun to work on :D

preliminary sketch

inked wip

Now to digitally color it

kinda colored.  More to come.

After I color this, I'm going to go back and line work the crap out of this thing!....miight color it after that...but kinda doubt it.  Line work is enough for me.

Colored pencil is for crazies

When you think of colored pencil, you think of childhood, right? Coloring books...scribbling with heavy colorful, beautiful marks.
NO.
"Real" colored pencil drawings are a bitch.  The only way to describe it.  Only the mentally insane would attempt a full size, fully rendered colored pencil drawing.  There's so much carefully coloring smooth, light layers of colors everywhere, it's ridiculous... although, I have to admit, it turns out looking pretty badass if done correctly.

Examples of amazingly done colored peices done this way:

Just...what the hell.

Here's the one I did in figure drawing class

This is a wip, I have next class to arduously darken it.
I was only supposed to use 2 colors, blue and bright orange.  So why doesn't it look that blue or orange?  The idea is to blend the two colors perfectly in infinate layers to create darkness in hue.  (ie, blue and orange are complimentary colors, so mix them and it will theoretically create the perfect grey.
In this case, we were supposed to make very dark hues by only doing this process of alternating light colors in layers. layer after layer until it develops into a black hole

Haha yeah

btw here are some gestures for the hell of it.

Done in pastel pencil



My drawing teacher wants about seven or so drawing pieces to get into the student art show... which means I have to take a million hours to matt them not to mention buying massive amounts of mount board. -sigh- Ah well I have contest money to spend at the school store, anyway ;)

Hands!

This was done all in 6B graphite.  At least...I think it's graphite? Something called a "graphstick" so I assume so.

AND ALSO
I GOT INTO THE SOCIETY OF ILLUSTRATORS.  I really was not expecting this, but it looks like I'm on my way to New York for the student exhibition! ...Here!

wheeee... well back to homework XD

heres a sketch of a hand study I am doing. ps- the hand family is totally getting robbed.
More to come

3rd day of working on painting- face detail coming soon lol

eeh sorry about the photo quality!

Here's some sketches for my upcoming self portrait.

No reference and crappy colored pencil is funny

Here's some sketches I found while digging for these, including my original concept for my tree picture done in ink.

HMM wouldn't it be funny if I posted some of my high school and grade school work?! Embarrassing HILARITY.  I think it should have to happen simply for your entertainment

Oils on mat board is strange and awesome

preview of my next painting-  paying homage to  Charlie Chaplin

I'm going to try to put small posts up every so often.

  Btw I'm trying to enter a peice into the Society of Illustrators, so wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes.

       Thanks for viewing, I'd love to hear any critiques on any of my work!
