Another flower! I love flowers. Done in charcoal, graphite, pen, and colored pencil. Reference from Morguefile.

Fall 2015 - Still Life Painting, Week 3

This didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to and I had a lot of troubles with it, from the object placement to paint consistency to supplies falling over constantly. I don't dislike it, but I'm not as happy with it as I was with my painting from last week.
Limited palette with one added color in acrylics.

Fall 2015 - Charcoal Heads, Week 3

Moooore Portraits. Some 10 minute sketches and a ~3 hour drawing. Slowly but surely.

Fall 2015 - Charcoal Heads, Week 2

Some charcoal portraits, not much else to say, really. I think I did better with the right.

Fall 2015 - Still Life Painting, Week 2

I actually really like the way this turned out. Not perfect, of course, but I'm pretty happy with it. First week of color! Limited palette in acrylics.

Heh, I keep forgetting to sign my drawings before I take pictures of them. Rose based on one of my photos from a few years ago. Done in pen and marker while listening/watching a livestream.
Edit: I just realized I've drawn flowers three days in a row. Haha.

A bit more doodling after learning about henna/mehndi/zendoodling. Primarily henna/mehndi inspired though, particularly by the tutorial I used to learn about some simple designs.

 A random flower that came from just starting with a squiggle. Pen and colored pencil. I experimented a bit with blending the colored pencil and I'm pretty happy with it.

I was learning about henna/mehndi and zendoodling a bit and created this with some pens.

Some tiny birds in pen. Based on a butterfly design on the side of a planter.

Haven't posted in a bit, several things to post! I went through several ideas for this (some of which I might try later), but ended with a baby meerkat that wants to be like the bigger meerkats. I intended to fully color it (I experimented a bit with the smaller meerkats), but I haven't yet. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. At the least, I'll probably try to finish the baby meerkat.

Daily - September 14, 2015 pt. 2

Based on a tiny sketch I did of something I wanted to crochet. It kind of makes me think of a few digimon, but it's not really based on anything. I have no idea where the light is coming from. Colored pencil, brush pen, and a little bit of white charcoal.

Daily - September 14, 2015 pt. 1

Sketched a bit at the park. Saw a bunch of squirrels at first, but then none nearby when I was actually drawing...So not great memory drawing.
Then drew some seeds(?) and traced a leaf from the tree I was under.

My scanner is too light and washes everything out a bit. I need to figure out how to fix that.
Missed a few days while working on assignments last week. Sketched some things in graphite, mushroom references from Morguefile.

Fall 2015 - Charcoal Heads, Week 1

Always charcoal. I think I've had at least one charcoal class every semester. This one focuses on heads and hands. I'm cool with that.
Left - 10 minute heads
Right -Several hour heads, I was genuinely surprised with how well the upper drawing turned out. I expected bad. Lower drawing, I had issues with his eyes and shadows and overall face. I like his hair though.
I also had a couple other exercises, but I don't feel the need to post those. Value scales and a small sphere.

Fall 2015 - First Still Life in Acrylics, Week 1

It's quite a bit off from my reference (a bowl and egg), but I had fun painting it. This is the first non-gouache painting I've done since high school. I..did not like painting in high school. It was frustrating. Infuriating, even. I loved this though and I'm excited for the next assignments.

Doodles. I don't quite remember what I drew on each day exactly, but I definitely know the bunny face was the last. Everything is graphite, except the cat, which I practiced some pens on. The rooster and chipmunk are based on pictures from a random animal generator on "RandomLists."

Daily - September 8, 2015

A bit late to the posting, but I've got it now. I don't know why, but I was staring at a blank piece of paper and saw a frog face (similar to froakie, the pokemon). Then I drew the rest based on that. I also decided to practice my inking and markers. This is now officially the first ink/marker drawing in over a year and the first animal.

Spring 2015 - Color and Design Final

 This was my final painting for my first painting/color class! Done in gouache on cold press illustration board. We created our own mandala design based on anything we wanted and had a fairly large color scheme. Mine is focused on crochet and my primary color is yellow. I'm posting this first because I'm pretty happy with it.
