in which i'm going to take a nap

sorry it's been so long since my last update...school's been quite hectic this semester. here's a few of my works: two oils and a digital painting.


not the best shots of the paintings, but all i have at the moment. i've been working a lot in pastel this semester in figure, so i might upload some of the portraits and master copies i've done.

the school year's almost up now, but there's still a lot of work to do! but if i can just make it through this week and the next, i get to go to disney world. c:

in which things get oilier

two more pieces from painting this year. the water glass and the white project (which we had limited use of white in, which explains why everything is so...rainbow-y).

all for now!

in which the year ends at the first post

and now...for my first trick: i will take lots of money, invest it in a very expensive art school, and hopefully get some art out of it!

here's some stuff i've done for school this year...

final drawing project from last semester: showing an object in many phases of motion...i like phones.
charcoal on newsprint.

next up are the Van Wezel projects for my color class:

this one was based on a performance by the National Acrobats of China. and they were amazing. i wanted to try a different style than my usual stuff...
photoshop!

this is based on Swan Lake. i love ballet... didn't like so much how this came out, though...
more photoshop!

lastly, some stuff from me playing around in Corel Painter X:
first try. just a doodle, but i like green and pink, i guess...
















third try. what happened to the second? didn't like it. XP

...i seem to like green, yes?

soo, i'm thinking that i love painter and will probably be using it all summer. if i'm not too lazy, once i get home next week i might actually get pics of my figure work from this semester and some of my better stuff from last semester. :D

this year's been awesome, and all miss all my artsy friends...until next time!
