Eh, eh?

Take two

Still...yeah.

Illustrator

Here's a first attempt at a slightly more complex "monster" in Illustrator. He seems irritated, no? Oh well, at least it's progress.

Distorted figure

Here's a sketch of a warped Amy Winehouse. By using the warp and bloat tools I was able to make her look even more like a horse. Sorry about the sketchy lines, for some reason Photoshop wasn't letting me clean them up.

A Giraffe...

I guess we're supposed to upload our giraffe images in progress. Above is the preliminary drawing/sketch and below is the value layer of the piece. I'll post more as I go along.

A monster mash?

For the second blog assignment we were required to design/create a "monster" utilizing tools and skills learned in class. Naturally I chose to illustrate something that seems to be plaguing me lately--The Dust Bunny. What with classes, work and running around I've barely had any time to clean...(not that I'm too good about keeping my room clean anyway.) The thing's a little bit creepier than I had anticipated but I find it relatively amusing so I suppose that's all that matters. Oh well, on to other things.

Cheers,

oh, and here's a nectarine

A First Attempt

Test one, two. Test one, two. Okay this a very very very basic start to what I hope will be a productive semester.

For the first assignment we were required to do a line drawing with some connection to winter whether it be literal or metaphor. As you can tell I went for literal. Once my linework was complete I scanned the drawing into Photoshop. By using techniques learned in class I was able to do a very basic digital painting. Needless to say I encountered many technical difficulties which resulted in an almost adolescent temper tantrum (I kid). Seriously though, the macbook almost went out the window. Regardless, I'm viewing this as a starting point for what I hope will be a new and interesting art experience.

Until next time,

J
