Comic Book Characters

Sooooooooooo those designs didn't turn out like I wanted....I wanted Egon Schiele + Jhonen Vasquez and I got Amber.....uhhhhhh. That's not what I wanted. I hope my team likes or at least isn't disappointed. I'll post the designs tomorrow maybe. -3-

One Hour Wine

Oh! The homework! Still not even done yet! I took the day off from school today just so I could finish it all! So far I've gotten my still life underpainting done, my cover letter/resume/thank you assignment done and my four 1 hour paintings done. Still have 15 character designs to do. Ugh! I just wanna play battle block theater. I feel like my attention span has been depleted for the day.

Well, here are the 4 paintings. I had the hardest time deciding on the object to paint.....I have no interesting objects. So I defaulted to my one wine glass. Ohhhh poor lonely wine glass. He needs a friend. I ended up using coffee in place of wine and slowly depleted in over the course of the four paintings. I'm not sure if there was an improvement in the painting....I did get fast. So at least there's that. However, my shapes are not accurate. Poor lopsided wine glass!

Color Comps for Still Life

Arg! I'm getting so far behind in my school work. I've been working on on a design for a business card and it's taking more time than I expected. I really wanna get it done! Hopefully he likes the last version I sent. That way I can get started on my homework!

Here are some color studies for my still life that I'm working on in my painting class. My values are a little off... that's why the figure is blending in so much with the plate in the background. They were fun. I just put them off for way to long. I ended up painting all of them the day before they were due!


50% saturated


full saturation



monochromatic

complimentary


limited, neutralized

analogous....although it's so subtle that it looks monochromatic!
