Spring Break - day one

Ahh spring break, land of the I-can-draw-for-5-hours-and-not-be-behind-in-anything.

3 hours of drawing were devoted to another portrait...a pretty one. Which I like. But I've reached a point where I have to draw fur, which is boring and challenging at the same time, somehow - so I aborted ship and drew this:

Did this in two hours. My goal for speed painting is one hour...so that's reasonable. I spent a long time going "pooo" over the hair, so I think I'll try a different approach to that next time.

Oh and - I has found a new love in deep oranges and reds~~ 8D

Finger Painting

This is a drawing I did today while sitting in on a friend's stats lecture. I made it using a free painting app that I had on my iphone. Considering the palette contained only 25 colors, none of which were skin tones, I think I did a pretty good job. According to Karina, I'm a "BAMF."

Cool (Hair) W(h)IP

WIP from a picture I've been working on since the beginning of this semester. I like purple... Hopefully I will finish this soon. I really want to work on the hair... I kind of feel like I overworked the skin though, because it doesn't really look smooth (which is okay) but it looks like it's trying too hard to be that way.

A work in progress

My goal for the rest of the semester is to draw one, 1-hr photoshop portrait a week. Here are the first attempts:

There's much work to be done, but I'm happy to have started on it. Johnny Depp may appear again, because he's not finished, but pretty asian girl will have to be scrapped and redone later if I like the photo enough.

The references are from google images...I didn't save the links. oops. :)

Adrian is a whiny nerd

Yeah, Adrian texted me in the morning about the progress of his card because he is a whiny nerd. Well, here it is!

Watercolor wonders

Visited an old art teacher today and hung out for a while in her classroom. While I was there she gave me a doodle game: take someone's old watercolor test square and make it into a new piece of art. Here's what I ended up with:
