More Ink Drawings

A couple of cards/drawings I've done in the past week or so. They're all done using micron pens and are around 2x5 inches each. First one took awhile to finish, but the rest were done in a single one hour/hour and a half sitting.

Cyber Boy

Here's my first digital painting of the summer. I've been meaning to brush up on my painting skills, but I didn't know what to paint. I started sketching this piece without really having an idea of what the final piece would look like, and the sense of freedom was really nice. I'm really happy with how the clouds in the background came out.


and here are some process shots:

Harbingers

I started this months ago but had to put it aside due to school projects. I picked it back up when summer started and knocked it out pretty fast! I like it!



I'm going to try to use more colors next time around.

Traditional Inkwork

I've been getting into the motions of doing work traditionally and have been drawing a lot with my micron pens as of late. I've come to realize that I could put a lot more detail into a traditional piece using pens than a digital piece using a wacom tablet. Here are a couple cards I drew for family and friends.



I've been drawing a lot of wood grain-looking stuff. Also, 100th post? Wooooooooooo!

Heavens - Fear

I did this illustration for my senior projects class. The whole class (made up of art historians, graphic designers, fine artists and illustrators) worked together to create a book filled with illustrations and text.

The overall theme of the book was the heavens, and my topic for the book was fear. My illustration depicts a girl that is about to receive a halo, but then she gets punk'd and the halo gets shattered and the monster says "sike, you gonna go to hellllll!" ...in other words, my illustration was basically about the fear of not knowing whether you'll get into heaven or not. I'm not a religious person... I just wanted to draw a monster but had to settle with drawing monster hands for the assignment.



I'm really stoked at how the image came out, though! It was the first time I've had a high quality/decent quality printout of one of my illustrations. I'm also proud of the illustration in itself; I learned a lot from it.

Artifacts Poster Prints

I finally found the time to screen print this poster!

The poster is a 4 Color, 18x24 screen print. There are three gem color variations, with an edition of 9 with orange gems, 5 with yellow, and 4 with maroon. I'll put select versions up for sale in a little while.

The Prowl

Here's another project I did for my composition class. I got a bunch of new acrylic paints from a good ol' pal, so I was looking forward to using them for this project. I was out of masonite, so I recycled an older test painting and used it as my surface. Really like how the colors turned out.
