The Gouache

Well I decided to break out the gouache in a long time, and it was fun to use! I was just playing around with it on a page of my watercolor moleskine.

All of these were done without reference. Is it weird that things tend to turn out better from my imagination than from a photo or from life?

Day 2

Day 2 is Someone you like (A crush, celebrity, etc).

I wasn't too sure who to choose so I did Emma Watson. It was another quick one and I don't have my scanner with me at the moment so a picture for now. I'd say half of her face looks allright.....

Gotta keep practicing! 

Going to get some painting in tonight as well!

Day 1

Day 1 of the challenge.

Draw yourself or your persona.

Here is a quick one I did today.

It's me on the sousaphone! :]

Here is the list of the challenge from Sachin Teng.

Winter Break!

So I am officially done with finals and winter break has started for me.

Definitely am going to make it a productive one, to paint and draw everyday and PRACTICE. I'm part of a group that is going to do a -30 Day challenge over the break- 

...which I will post as soon as I do it.

For now, it's my journal I did for my Ani 50 class. 

As tedious it was towards the end, it was pretty cool seeing the finished project.

More to come. Stay tuned!

Final Rendering

For our final, we did our black and white sill life in color based on one of 16 color comps we did. 

I chose to do Limited/Neutral palette.

Granted, I didn't put in as much hours in it as I should have. Although I am glad to say I at least made some type of progress over the course of this semester.

The black and white rendering

I'll take a better picture of both of these later, or scan them.....

Anyhow, Inga wants me to continue working on it and make it a finished piece.

And that I shall do!

Looking forward to winter break where I can just paint and paint some more. Gotta get that mileage in!

Sketchity

Just some more sketchbook stuff. Mostly pen and waterbrush. The water bottle was from watercolor pencils I recently got. Going to try to use them more and experiment. ><

Still-life

Black and white still life rendering in acrylic.
