So I figured why not show some paintings/illustrations from previous years
Illustration II assignment in which we had to create 3 illustrations for a movie but make the characters in a different style. Of course I had to go with Finding Nemo!
Self portrait from Painting I. Oh my gosh, skin tones are HARD to mix! I had some difficulties with the right side of the face, but overall I'm proud of what I achieved.
I appoligize for the weird lighting on these 2 images, this painting was really cumbersome to carry into my house and the basement was the only spot it could fit. It was my final project for Painting I where we took a previous painting and made it our own (a road map as my professor called it) This painting is about 46x50, I hammered the frame and stretched and prepped the canvas all before even doing the actual painting. I've never done anything this big before in my life so it felt REALLY good to accomplish this :)
A few detail images of the painting
The Boer War by John Byam Shaw was my "road map" painting for this assignment. I used a reference photo I took of my beautiful roommate, Julianne wearing one of my dresses.
And last but not least this was one of two paintings I did for my Illustration III final. There is an Alice in Wonderland statue in Central Park and we had to illustrate a scenario of the characters interacting with our world..what they did once they came to life was up to us. So my interpretation was Alice as a bartender working in a small pub when The Mad Hatter and The Rabbit come in to a booth (you can almost make them out in the reflection of the mirror) This is illustrated more in my other piece, but basically Mad Hatter had one too many to drink, and Alice and the Rabbit are looking at him like he's insane (which he probably is).
That's all I have for now folks! I'll be updating through the year with progress on how my senior project is going! I also plan on giving this page an actual theme (sketchbook pro is opened on my desktop as we speak)-I haven't had a lot of time to test it out!
