Life Painting at the Zoo

10:18 AM art , color study 0 Comments
Faintest Glow


Title: Faintest Glow
Date: January 26, 2015
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Original is 16.3" x 21.75"

Notes: While walking out of Zoodles some time ago, I just so happened to pick a good moment of the sky. I tend to have a strange obsession with clouds and it only enhances when I see good color contrast and combinations. I thought it would be fun to finally try and make a go of some environment painting. I really need to start branching out of my comfort zones of just painting portraits all day. Hopefully some good 'ole life painting will help with that.
Hope you enjoy, more soon!

InkTober: In Memorial

 



 


Title: InkTober: In Memorial
Date: October 2014
Medium: Ink
Scale: Varies.

Notes: Every InkTober thus far, I have been very productive. Somehow this one got away from me. It's okay though, this semester has been one of extreme growth and I can't complain. I still had lots of fun sketching really fast for this InkTober and I hope to jump in next year.
Babies


Title: Babies
Medium: Gouache on Canvas
Scale: Each 'piece' is 3" x 3"

Notes: At the upcoming Holiday Bazaar at MCA, I will be selling these with their Illustration Club. Just a quick, fun experiment with some gouache.

The Offering


Title: The Offering
Medium: Gouache on Illustration Board
Scale: Original is approx. 3.5" x 14"

Notes: Ashley has a huge fascination with all things water-borne, so I thought it would be awesome to paint a piece specifically for her. The photo didn't turn out the greatest so it looks better in person, but it was a ton of fun to just stop questioning and just paint.

And More Zoodles

 

Title: And More Zoodles
Medium: Ink, Graphite, Charcoal
Scale: Each 'page' is approx. 2.5" x 4"

Notes: Zoodles is probably one of the best things to do during a lunch break. I would suggest anyone to go and just draw up all the animals and people at the local zoo. They are sooo much fun! More to come on these...

Date: October 1 - 4 & 10
Medium: Ink
Scale: Varies

Notes: Okay... so... InkTober has come.
And I got real sick and.. excuses, excuses, blah blah...

Just saying that I'm on board. Just a bit laggy.

Zoodles!

 

Title: Zoodles!

Notes: Just a small sampling of the zoodles drawing that I've been doing since the beginning of the semester.

Mad Moxxi in Oils


Title: Mad Moxxi in Oils
Medium: Oils

Notes: Oils are a hard thing to manipulate. If anyone has any tips on how to mix colors... I wish I had a tube of every color, ever...

Studying the Day Away

Type O Negative - "World Coming Down"

'Quick' Studies


Title: 'Quick' Studies
Date: March 24 - 31, 2014
Medium: Graphite, Photoshop CS3
Scale: Varies

Notes: A compilation of things that I've been up to for a little bit. Mainly just trying to make sure that I don't get rusty in any specific area. So this is just a few tests of different things over the past few days. I want to crank out a ton more stuff, but there are big projects in the works.

'Zoodles


Title: 'Zoodles
Medium: Graphite, Brush and Ink
Scale: Each 'page' is 9" x 12"

Notes: Every week on Wednesday, during lunch the illustration department at MCA goes over to the zoo and just sketches away. I think every time I go I get a little faster, a little more experimental, a little more... something. If nothing else, it's just great to get out of the school and away from everything and just sketch my ass off.
It's a bit more therapeutic than anything and if nothing else... it gets exposure to my art to all the passer-byers. Either way, it's a fun thing to do and I highly recommend it!

Zoodles!

10:30 AM animals , art 1 Comments
Zoodles 1 - 4





Title: Zoodles 1 - 4
Medium: Brush and Ink, Pencil
Scale: Each 'page' is 9" x 12"

Notes: Every Wednesday during lunch the Illustration department at MCA takes a little trip over to the local zoo and we just wander about sketching different types of animals. It's actually ludicrously fun!
Here's a few weeks in... you have (in this order): 

Animals of the Night, The Farm Animals, Tropical Bird House, and the Herpetarium.

I could sit and do these all day hahaha they are awesome. Sometimes really hard too, because the animals can be extremely fidgety.
