I felt a bit poop but then I drew a pretty centaur and instantly felt better. :)

Glowy things and floaty hair make me happy. :D

This is a really great exercise. I just opened up Goldfinger and panned through it randomly until something interesting came up.

I discovered that I really like drawing suits and torpedo boobs (featured in the upper right corner hehehe).

So there was really pretty light yesterday morning, and I decided to paint it coming in through the curtains.

Sketched on a paper bag, using this reference. It’s not particularly accurate, but it was fun.

Just a WIP, but I really like how the hair turned out. :D

Yeah I know just another pretty girl on my blog oh well.

Something else that’s pretty different for me. Just trying to loosen my technique and focus on shapes.

WIP

I realized a few hours into this thing that it was starting to look kinda Na’vi-ish. So here’s a half-finished headshot of an androgynous Avatar-sheep-person.

I was really debating with myself whether or not to post this, because it’s so incredibly different and weird for me. But I kinda like it.

So. This is what comes from being forced to create when going through a bad cold and a marathon of Courage the Cowardly Dog. Sorry if I blinded you/gave you nightmares.

So I made a new self portrait, and it’s so much better than the first. It’s mixed media (traditional and digital painting), though the preliminary pastel drawing had some funky experimental color to it which I decided to omit. Drawn with both a mirror and photo reference.

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:32:04 -0400

Finished still life. I tried something new and did a mixed media painting, using acrylics, pastels, and digital painting. Surprisingly, I think using traditional and digital fairly equally made me feel like I could be more loose in technique. So this was a really good exercise.

Lineart work in progress. Pretty much just some basic nature-y elf-ified prettyness that I’ve had stuck in my head since re-reading the Inheritance Cycle. I’m almost finished with the last book, and Paolini has yet to disappoint.

Also, they’re not shown here, but deer feet are terribly hard to draw convincingly.

I like green. :P This took about 5 hours, I think.

This image is the product of shameless cliche and filter abuse. I’ve been messing around with Photoshop CS5. I didn’t like the program before (the interface is kind of ugly), but I love the new brush capabilities. So I spent a good hour or so playing with the cute little brush angle display.
