Week 27 Takes A Bow

Okay, next time I draw a character I need to not cop out on the pose and the background. This isn't bad though - I actually still like it.

And commissions are still open. I was called off from work for the third day in a row today.

Week 27 is Doggone Dapper

I've been working on this for several and surprisingly don't hate it. It's not perfect but over-all my complaints are minimal. I was worried about the background but then I looked up portraits of royalty from days past and their backgrounds were sometimes just a plain neutral color. I have no problem doing the same.

And as mentioned last time, I am taking art commissions. Work called me off for the second day in a row because there's nothing for me to do. Sigh.

Week 27 Part 3 + Commission Call

I didn't make much progress over the weekend but at least he has a face now.

Also, finances are awfully tight for me right now. If anyone wants to pay me to make them some art, that would be incredibly helpful. Details on that can be seen here on my portfolio blog.

Week 17 Gets Colorful

Next week will be the third and final commission! I'm glad these are done early, I have an insane amount of packing and studying to do this weekend, as well as going to the local spring festival for the sake of my sanity.

Week Ten: Is It April Yet? Artistic Nudity

March could be over already and that would be fine with me. It has been an inexplicably rough month even with Spring Break. At the very least my goal of finishing my second commission by April appears doable. It's just clothing and a simple background from here, and while skin is fun to color it can be difficult, especially with colored pencil.

We're onto our next project in Printmaking, which will be Intaglio. Trust me when I say Wikipedia could explain it better. At the very least it should go more smoothly than silk screen. This is my concept so far. I was not in the best of moods.

Finally started on the third commission, and it and the fourth are for the same person. This one will only be line art, but the other will be color.
Lastly, something from Figure Drawing on Monday because there weren't any results from Wednesday worth posting. We're doing India ink now. For some reason the longer poses are less stressful for me than warming up.

Happy Long Weekend!

Hello Friday of Labor Day weekend. A few stresses going on to start my three days of chilling, but I'm not letting them bother me much. And hey, I've got some art to upload!

Maybe I've been vague about it, but since Kessie asked, allow me to explain. The painting and the digital project art two totally separate classes and not connected in any way. Speaking of, here's an update on the painting:
I've grown braver about laying the paint on thick, but having trouble blending the colors on the canvas (well, gesso-covered paper in this case).

Also! My first model car. It was easy to put together, though I ended up gluing bits into place because they'd fall off while I was doing something else. I also painted the interior black. It was white by default, which was totally unsuited to the rest of the car, I thought. I had a lot of fun, though! I think eventually I'll invest in another one.
Here's the commission, scanned better.
And last, the other commission that I need to work on. This will be the last for quite a while. Work, school, and homework mean that any non-curricular drawing I do will be for myself.
So here's to a long weekend! Hope everyone enjoys it!
