My comp for the cheesy airbrush!
Transparent Cube!

Cherry tomatoe!
My first shot at airbrush!


This is my first try at doing the number 11 project. There some decisions that I will have to make for the next one. I think I will make each mirror a different girl in my re-do!

This is my third try at the memory portrait. There are some stylistic aspects as well as color usage in this one that I like quite a bit actually. It doesn't look my sister at all, but agian, it still has some fun artistic elements to it. Also the hand looks better!
This is the second try at watercoloring my sister from memory and I didn't like it at all!
Here is my first try at doing a memory pic of my sister, I think this one looks the most like her, but the hand is a little wonky...
These are my initial comps for the memory portrait. The top right pose is the one that was chosen.

This is bad. Looking forward to re-doing it!

Five Best Pieces for Midterm!


These five pieces that i think have been the most successful. I tried to pick some variety. But three of them are of people. But all very different uses of color and composition. This first is one you see is a watercolor of an old black and white photo probably taken sometime in the 1940s. I love this one. My inspiration came from Andrea Bailey's glass Coke bottle last semester that was so phenomenal. Honestly my goal was to see if I could make mine as good...or even better if that's possible! I don't know that mine is better, but either way I'm happy with the results. Not to mention that I love Fanta! This beverage is just as popular as Dr. Pepper or Pepsi down in Argentina where my mom is from--- I just had to do the bottle thing, but I also wanted to something different, Mm... I can almost taste it!
I really struggled with this one. The original was 20x30" Honestly until I scanned it to the computer and was able to see it smaller scale I didn't like it as much. I really like the perspective on this. Also I think the background is working especially well and so are a couple of most forgrounded (is that a word!?) sheep look pretty nice as well-- not so sure about some of the in between sheep ;)

This is me. There is nothing extra special about this one except that I don't think I have EVER done an illustration or drawing that has actually looked like...me! That is about all that makes this one special. I captured my own expression for the first time! This illustration was taken from a photo from Communication Arts magazine. I chose this one because I think it is a simple composition but a good, full use of color.

An other try at guasch!

The grass withers and the flowers fade. But the word of our God will stand forever... I don't know that this verse and this image go together, but the image makes me think of this verse.
