portrait of a nun

An oil painting for illustration class. Using oil paintpen sharpies and oil paints over top. The reference photo is from a box of old family photos. (you can see the ref just above the painting)

I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. It was really quick, probably about two hours total.

I've taken over my living room!

Currently I'm finishing up a poster project for illustration class and I've spread myself all over the living room.

Here is the poster in progress. Not to far off done I think. (the colour looks nothing like that in person just FYI. camera flash does terrible things to watercolours. :P)
I need to update this thing more often.

photoshop!

So it not the first time i've ever used photoshop, but ths first time i have ever finished anything in photoshop. I usualy get frustrated and leave it.

next stop, Illustrator!

right and wrong

For my conseptual design class we have to depict "Right and Wrong". Here is my idea: How to sit in a chair.

right.
wrong.for my Typography class here is the movie title to The Jungle Book.
I'm quite happy with it over all. It needs a bit of tweeking and cleaning up but over all i'm happy.

And this was also for Type class. We made playing cards and this is one of the jokers. My other card was the king of diamonds but it didn't export properly so we'll see that another time perhaps. 

School is almost finished. Only three days of class left. Craziness! Hopefully you will all be seeing a lot more work from me over the summer. 

It's been a busy time

Some new-ish stuff. 

I'm trying to get organized before the end of term. I have a little quiet(ter) time this week as all my presentations are now out of the way. Back to just drawing and painting. It's such a relife. 

This is a CD cover for one of my illustration classes. We had to create a cover for Peter and the wolf in an off beat, akward, or stylized image. 

Oil face. still working on it. also from referance. 

Calligraphy is harder then it looks... not quite happy with this, but it's on its way. 

More Illustration

More water colour. This time on a hot press paper (smooth surface)

The referance is one I took of my friend Lucy for a passed photography project. 

750 words is not that much.

Dosn't mean i want to do it.

I keep trying to get a start on my communications project. I don't really procrastinate about anything anymore, except for essays... If i can just get some info down now it will be less stressful later. One paragraphe, just one, come on....

yeah good luck me.

new semester!

Self portraits for illustration. I'm so excited we're getting into water colours!!! 

muking about with diffrent styles and aplications a little. I like the one on the right better. 

We have way more presentations and written work this semester. Also a good number of group projects. I kinda just want to paint all the time.

more illustration

Only two weeks left of this semester! I can't believe how fast it's going by.

I'm really excited to go home for Christmas break.
