plein aire

Ashley and I went painting today. Here is what did. The scan is making the browns look really red and dark. In fact, blame all of the color issues on the scan...Yes...twas the scanner....

imagination drawing

We were told to draw whatever we wanted. If I could draw monsters and dumb pictures of my friends for the rest of my life, I would die happy.

morocco environments

Here are some environments and a character design for my latest class assignment; a mask shop in 1940s Marrakesh. I tried to keep the shapes really graphic, and concentrate on color, but in the end I like my character a LOT more than my environments. Such is the life of a pirate.

morocco studies

Some value and color studies for an exterior of a Moroccan mask shop. Finish to come later.

doodles

Sometimes in art class my friend and I draw dumb pictures of each other. I love doing silly drawings of my friends more that fancy things. They always seem to cheer me up! Here is a typical "feel better" drawing, and a happy-g0-lucky doodle of Ashley and partner in crime Robert.

waterfall spirit

A finished class assignment. Also, it gave me diabetes.

I went to a farm to draw animals today. Inspired by the cuteness of sheep in their winter wool, I drew this silly thing. It's Bo Peep, having found her sheep, returning home. I wanted her to be sugar-coated cute, while the sheep I think should be cute bordering on crazy. Happy crazy.
