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.

Pencil Sketchbook #1

Sketchbook portrait of a man with what appears to be light-colored hair. The overall sketchbook was quite easy, with the only tricky part being his eyes and parts of his hair. Done completely using a 2B pencil, tissues, and a kneaded eraser. Main techniques used were scumbling/smudging and a little hatching for his facial hair.

Inkwash Sketchbook #6

Ink sketchbook of Wolverine with a few contours of other heroes above him. The drawing was done in pencil and then traced over in ink, then finally inkwash was used to fill in the solid blacks. Main shading techniques used were hatching, especially in the areas of light hair on his arms. This was one of my favorite sketchbooks and the quality came out greater than I expected.

Inkwash Sketchbook #5

Ink sketchbook of anime characters. Pretty basic drawing with minimal to no shading techniques. Basic contour drawn out in pencil then inked using pen and inkwash to fill in the solid black areas.

Inkwash Sketchbook Wolf

A small sketchbook of a wolf standing in what seems to be snow. The picture was sketched in pencil and then shaded completely with inkwash. The head of the wolf was done by making a sort of stippling texture and then layering it over with shades of gray as a gradient. Otherwise, the main techniques were making different hatching lines to create the image of the fur. Wish I could have made the fur a little nicer, but I was happy with the result of this sketchbook.

Ink Sketchbook #4

Ink sketchbook done of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and some sort of alien creature. The drawing was done in pencil and then inked using pen. The inking techniques used in this were hatching, and stippling. The solid blacks in the picture were done using inkwash. I liked the overall product of the sketchbook, although there could have been more detail on the alien creature.

Ink Sketchbook #3

Ink sketchbook of a rabbit samurai. I liked this sketchbook because of the actual drawing and also because of the contrast between the shadow and his skin, utilizing a small layer of white to outline the figure. Happy with the result and learned a little more on how to manipulate solid black.

Ink Sketchbook #2

Ink sketchbook done of some sort of creature chained to a rock in the water. Drawn in pencil and then inked in pen and finally filled in the solid black parts using inkwash. Liked the contrast of the white with the black in different places, such as the body with the solid black background, and the chains with the rock.

Ink Sketchbook #1

Ink sketchbook done of a skeleton's head drawn out in pencil and then inked in pen. Main techniques used were hatching and a little stippling. Overall satisfied with the end result and learned how to manipulate the black and white for example in the lower jaw.

Ink Sketchbook #0

First ink sketchbook of an animated cartoon character. Sketched in pencil and then inked in pen. Solid blacks were done using inkwash and the majority of the shading was hatching.
