Inkwash Project #3 (Wolf)

Last inkwash project of a wolf done in inkwash and inking techniques. The drawing was quite simple  overall, since only the contour and a few basic shadows were drawn in. However, the actual shading and inking of the project was quite difficult and required a lot of time. I wish I could have done this better, with more emphasis on the smaller shadows and the very light fur. The product is still relatively satisfying.

Acrylic Painting #3 (Cubism)

My third acrylic painting, focusing specifically on cubism. This portrait was done completely using a cubism style, however it lacks the individual blending within each shape which would be typical of a traditional cubism style. The portrait consisted mainly of shades of brown, adding orange, yellow, or white to get different tones. The background of clouds was doe using mainly dry brush for the white, using light blue and a gradiation at the top. Overall, I'm quite happy with the product.

Acrylic Painting #2 (Impressionism)

This is my second acrylic painting this year. The style is impressionism, and I decided to paint something based off of what Monet painted. The short brush strokes and lack of traditional blending was different, but the end product turned out fantastic. In comparison to the original picture, mine is a lot brighter with more primary colors.

Acrylic Painting #1 (Monochromatic)

First acrylic painting project done monochromatic in black and white. The painting is from the viewpoint of a person probably sitting near the side of the boat and can see the foam created by the treading of the boat. The picture was not too difficult to draw out and the practice with blending helped me for my future projects. Not bad for a first painting in acrylic.

Ink Sketchbook #8

Ink Sketchbook of a samurai character. Drew the figure in pencil and then traced over with pen. Then filled in the solid blacks with inkwash. Took approximately 7 hours: 3 for sketching and tracing, and 4 for filling in all the solid blacks. Didn't realize how long it was going to take to fill in the solids, but the product makes it worth it.

Ink Sketchbook #7

Ink sketchbook done of a zombie-like character kneeling in the ground. The drawing was done in pencil and then traced over in pen, finally being inked using mainly inkwash, but pen for the finer details in the cemetery background. Filling in the black was pretty difficult as the white spots made it time consuming. Overall quality was great though so I am satisfied.

Pencil Sketchbook #2

Pencil sketchbook of a very abstract picture consisting of a skull with wings. Arrows  are piercing the skull and what appears to be a brain. The teeth are simply levitating, and below the shadow there are teeth sticking into a wall of some sort. The main techniques of this drawing were scumbling/smudging. Done completely using a 2B pencil.
