Celestial Inquiry

It's been a while since I've posted anything so here is a little something to get me back on the cyber-ball again. Above is a painting I'm off-and-on playing with (I started it last semester).

I showed a sneak peak in a previous post.

I'm going to add a little more soon but I thought it would be a fun one to show off while I play with it.

The Don't Like ABCs - ArtD 150 - Book

Above are two final pages of my book project (for my ArtD 150 final).

I had a lot of fun with this one.

Unfortunately I did not finish all the illustrations but will continue to work on this piece for publication. :)

***Update*** 4/16/13
I have decided (at the urging of friends/family) to add a watermark and my blog web address to the images. 
I am working on finishing this book and hope to have it refined & finished this summer!!! :)

My Adventures With Scratchboard

DREAMTIME

Two cockatoos becoming stars.

Rattlesnake Test

Small Flamingo

This semester I was able to play around with different styles and mediums...

We used scratchboards briefly. I like that scratchboard can be fast but it might be a while before I do any more...

Pastel

This was my latest attempt at pastels...

It was for an illustration project in school. I had to illustrate

"Aunt Matilda was always a bit odd"... (I think that was the line...)

I haven't worked with pastels so this was a very educating experience!

I find it pretty agitating but I know it has to do with my frustration with not knowing the materials. I'm going to do a little more research and some practice before I start another project. If you know of any good videos or books... leave a little note below... ;)
