Changed up the train, rounded out the edges, made it flow better with the background texture

Beauty Smith

I don’t know how many of you have read the book White Fang, but recently I was given the character Beauty Smith as a digital painting prompt. The character is super ugly, so I used his description (yeah, apparently Beauty is a man’s name) and gave some of his attributes to a fox. It was a lot of fun to make and gave me a unique challenge. I also used the “Mona Lisa” as my inspiration for the background, which was an entertaining art history connection to incorporate.

“Prize” Illustration Friday

Graphic Novel Page

I’ve been working on a graphic novel page for that last couple days for one of my classes. We had to use a quote from the original book Wizard Of Oz and make it look like it has been drawn with charcoal. My quote was “I shall take the heart, for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.” I had a good time making it.

Dragons

I’ve never been good at drawing dragons, just because it is hard to find references to draw from. So today I decided to look at the dragon from the cover of Deathly Hallows and work at its gesture and overall shapes. Hopefully by doing this study I can improve my skills at designing my own dragons. Here it is without any background

And here it is with a background more filled in.

Illustration Friday’s Topic was “old” I had a good time making this. I think I’ll continue to tweak it in time.

Illustration Friday

The theme this week was “work” so I made a time punch clock and tried to make it look like stained glass. It was really fun. I hope to keep doing these illustrations as time goes on.

More Of My Very Recent Work

Working very hard this semester trying to improve and find my own style and voice within my work. Most of these are purely made with ink, while a few are made more from graphite. Then one printmaking project (the climber). I hope everyone enjoys these. Any feed back would be great, I’m always looking for ways to improve.

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATMAN!!

I have always loved super heroes, and I’m admittedly a geek at heart. For this reason, I made a batman illustration while I watched a movie tonight. I know it isn’t great, but I figured it has been a while since I posted anything. Enjoy!
