Still Life Homework

this was supposed to be a "survivalist" themed still life, using a stronger source of light than last time. salmon, kippers and coke is a winning combination!

gouache still life in-class

we had to bring in some objects from home to paint in class. that metal thinger is a jawharp, or something- i picked it up in new york during a historical re-enactment event. i used an envelope to make it reflect the yellow. The diffused light in the classroom was interesting to use.

Character Timeline

a character time-line couple o' drawings for character design. i made a mobster-type pig

some caricatures

is that even how you spell it? these are all out of my new sketchbook.

gouache doodle

well well. i thought id take a stab at gouache, since I've been pretty bad at it so far. so i went out and got the proper paints, and the correct paper, and lo and behold; i didn't have to fight the medium this time!
just a boring doodle of a generic, expressionless woman. i guess i was concentrating on the flesh tone, and not making her look like a ghoul. Next time, ill do a better job!

i made an orange! digitally painted. around two hours.

dueling images paintings

this assignment went much more smoothley than my previous attempts with gouache. i think its because i went back to using it for more graphical paintings, rather than photorealistic lighting and such.
these two images are supposed to be based off opposing concepts, such as day and night, or happy vs sad and so on. i did some research into ancient irish ruins, and turned this out.
the first image is based off of "dream" bright, flowery and expansive.
the second image is a few hours later, when the sun has almost set, adn the spirits take over the ruins! NIGHTMARE!
