Summer Fun!

Creekbed

A fun watercolor and pastel project of a pretty creek. :)
Part of my book illustration project.

Green Tea

Concept showing characterization of "Green Tea". I could have done better, so I will be trying some experimentation with my next one. Bigger canvas, better composition, more texture, better illustration!
Next up is "Earl Grey", which tastes disgusting to me, but I like the characterization behind it. If I continue the series I'll probably do some Sweet Tea or Chai.

Screenprint 4

Fourth screenprint color proofs. I opted for a much smaller and confined composition for this one. The final result is the lower right one (except her shoes are blue, like her pants.) I also flipped the final design so it goes the other way. I love the red lines.

Hoo

Working in a horizontal format is a refreshing change! Watercolor moleskine. I love owls. I've been doing a few of these just kind of quick repeated paintings. I enjoy them- I'll most likely continue after things slow down.
I like my Cachet well enough but the inability to paint in it annoys me, but the idea of opening my HB (which is a lovely shade of olive green this time) makes me nervous! I feel like once I open journals I have to fill them.
I also have a third Pentalic modeskin I bought last year and took home (it's lime green), those out of all the journals i've had, have been the most successful. They take paint in an interesting way and I don't care how they end up. I may just try this route with my Cachet. Or stop caring. (I just like rambling about journals.)

I feel kind of crummy right now but it's just physical pain and I need to sleep.

Projects are going well: piperproject.tumblr.com
I'm excited to see where this goes! It's a waiting game now.

Now I'm devoting time to getting things ready for the holiday fair.
Except now I'm going to sleep.

Childish

About 1/3 of the way done with my illustration.
My favorite place to play was inside a lilac bush at my parent's old place. C:

Thumbnails

Thumbnails for the illustration I'm working on. Top right made the final cut and will be finished in textured acrylics.

Masked 01

Finished screenprint! I'm proud of it for my first one. I missed a couple of spots of blue, so it's a bit oversaturated, but I'm overall pleased with my results!

I'm oddly cranky today for some reason.

Illustration 2

All classwork from the spring 2008 semester of my illustration class in descending order.


Oil paint practice


2 Person composition. Oil paint.
Concept sketches.


Minimum Wage: Student Workers. Acrylic and pastel pencil.


Futuristic Minimum Wage (Dome Patchers) Acrylic, Watercolor, Collage.


Futuristic City. Pastels on Wallis paper.
Concept sketch.


Book Jacket. "I am Legend".
Here is a copy of what the finished jacket looks like.

Overall, I really felt successful in this class. I experimented a lot and found a lot of things that worked for me, and found out what things didn't. I really like how a lot of my work came out.
