photoshop lifedrawing

so in my digital illustration class we had some time to draw each other from life completely on the computer! soo hard! here is my best one...

Art Dump!

Now that I dont have to do Illustration Friday I decided to post some random art I did this school year that i have scanned... yeah!

This one is pretty cool because It was chosen to be in the Society of Illustrator's student show!holy cow im so excited!
Guache


A guache painting! (pronounced goo-atch-ay)


An acrylic study... actually i really like this one now that Ive had some time away from it... i really want to do more acrylic on wood

I spy

Here is my entry for Illustration friday. Its a piece i did last semester of a lonely boy asking his magig 8 ball if he will have company. Just then he spies a red bird...
its a riviting story i know! haha

Enjoy

hide

here is my hide painting... its really more about the painting and trying to learn to paint on the computer than the concept however the idea behind it is that she is hiding her eyes behind her glasses...
you wouldnt believe how people think you cant see them just because they are wearing sunglasses(I had many strange moments when i worked at hershey park because of this.. lol)

the technique was using a warm under painting and a cool over painting and then using layer masks to "scratch" it off... its similar to a packaging tape technique that I learned in Media Experimentation...I had fun i think

I used an adorable photo from blackpillow.deviantart.com for refference...
enjoy~

Communication...

This was done for my digital illustration class and for Illustration Friday...
the prompt was communication. I had to do this in cmyk channels or something which was interesting... >.>
enjoy!

I heart Voldie!!!

This is a Drawing I did for my amazing Creative Perspective class.
The assignment was to create a villan's "lair" And I decided to design Bellatrix Lestrange's stuy/living room. If you dont know who she is, she is a character from Harry Potter and you can learn almost everything about her here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellatrix_Lestrange

I decided I wanted her house to be a victorian themed twisted place where all the details were creepy or evil. She is also Voldermort's #1 biggest fan, thus the title "I heart voldie" and the ginormous like 6 foot tall portrait of him over the mantel.

Unfortunaly The printer i needed to use to print it off for my class was out of YELLOW ink so i couldt print my BLACK AND WHITE picture off and I had to tape my tracing paper to a piece of paper.. Needless to say, I dont think My teacher, Wade Huntsman, could even see past the horrible presentation to see my drawing though! hehe! There is ink now so It's all good!

Enjoy!

Yay!

here is a little study i did in my digital illustration class today. I was suposed to be doing something with cmyk channels but i just started drawing in black and white to try to start to get a feel for the digital medium. I am excited about the result i got... its not anything amazing but im starting to understand how to paint with the computer i think. Hopefully i will be able to get this kind of result in color!
I feel like its taking forever for me to begin to grasp this but how many pencil drawings did i have to do before they started to turn out like this... maybe a million... its all about mileage i supose...
