sketchbook

I'm working hard on trying to update my blog. The last few months I have been really bad with posting. but I promise it'll get better = ) . One of the most things i have been enjoying in Savannah is sketching , I love doodeling and playing around with different techniques that I usually don't use in my finished work.  I try to at least go through a skechbook every quarter ( every 10 weeks ) .
This is some stuff from the sketchbook from last quarter . Even tho most of them are from location , i did add more color and lines to them at home

OCD

OCD or not so OCD ? I was asked to illustrate the mental illness OCD, not so much the everyday actions rather how these people feel . I was trying to do that , while conveying an OCD feeling in the illustration.  However, I found out that I'm probably the least OCD person EVER . The idea of repeating the same task ( drawing ) over and over again was just not my thing. 
I enjoyed coming up with the concept and also experimenting with some new mixed media techniques .

Days of the week coasters

Thursday 

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Monday

This was a little coaster assignment I was asked to work on last quarter. I decided to do mine on the days of the week and how we felt  on each one of those days. I'm still missing Tuesday and Wednesday . So I guess my week goes from Thu- Monday.  The 2 missing days will have to wait a little , who needs Tuesday or Wednesday anyway!

World largest feet

Savannah Haunted Ghost tour poster

   I did some updates to this one and got a better scan . This one looks so much closer to the original painting.

Sad Heart

Finally , I did the color for the Smoking Heart . This was mainly an experimental piece, both content and media. I colored this in color pencil , oils , and then touched up on Photoshop. I enjoyed this project a lot . would like to do more of them in the future.

Back to computer illustration

I'm taking a digital illustration class this quarter. Which is great , there is so much about Photoshop that i need to learn . Here is our first assignment, we had to select an illustration from our sketchbook and color it using Photoshop. I cheated a little and got some help from Painter as well ;-) This is another version of my Urban Legend about the lady who wandered Savannah in hair filled with spiders. Guess what she did at night when nobody was watching ? helping her friends with their cob webs.
