Wire Sculptures

I hated doing these. The wire was incredibly difficult to bend but they turned out fairly well for my first time.  This was for my 3D class that Illustration and Computer Animation majors are taking.  What we had to do was get a sequential pose and find the line of action and on top of that, make them balance and TRY to only use one single strand of wire for each.  This sequential is killing a bug.  We drew from a live model then modeled our wires based on those drawings.  We now have moved into actual sculpting with oil based clay. Looking forward to it because it will be something different.

The first is noticing the bug and about to swat it away. the second is getting ready for the kill. the final is the kill.

Cafe Drawings

Panda on a Unicorn?

Why? Well my friend Isaac Sorenson wanted it. He just wanted a line drawing and thought a panda on a unicorn would be fricken bad ass.  I enjoyed doing it haha.

Princess Riley

This is a digital painting commission I did for my old highschool theatre director Amanda Hestwood.  She wanted her daughter as a "Disney"style-like Princess.  She wanted this originally on her daughters wall but decided she wanted a painting instead, this way she could have it for a much longer time.  Her wall design is seen in an earlier post.  It was printed on 18 by 24 canvas to give it a painterly look that I thought would be interesting and it turned out quite well by printing it like that.  There are a few things that I'm not thrilled about partly due to the fact I learned about them while still in school here and couldn't go back and change it cause I had to get it done. I learned a lot while doing this which makes me happy in the end :)

SkyFalling

This project was our "final" for perspective class. It had to be in three point perspective and something had to be falling from the sky.  My original idea was oz floating down onto emerald city but because of time and research my instructor told me to go with some european city, in this case more like a village.  I only had about 2 hours to shade the damn thing but still turned out fairly well.

Cafe Studies

Cafe studies done in figure drawing.  Basically the models create a scene and we can depict it any way we want.  The first scene was a picnic scene the second was a bird lady. i tried to push this villainous quality i saw in her pose in the second one.  40 minutes each.

DisneyWorld

Some sketches I did while in DisneyWorld over Thanksgiving break
