3 Image Gouache

So next assignment is a 3 image gouache, we have to do marker compositions of our ideas for Rusty to approve though, so that is what this is. Did it fairly quick, but it does help map out your ideas. Fairly straightforward. Hopefully the actual painting turns out.

Midterm Portfolio

Here is my midterm portfolio. Took me a bit to get it all together but here it is. Overall I am happy with it. I never have been great at watercolors so those were definitely the biggest challenge to get up to par. So here it is.

First up are 2 of my best 10-a-day line-art illustrations. Line art is what I am most comfortable so these were the easiest for me. Even though they took a bit longer than watercolor, I still feel like I know what I am doing a little more. I had a few decent line arts but these 2 got the best response.

Next up is my 2 best 10-a-day watercolor illustrations. I did not have as many decent ones of these, but I thought these were alright. I tried to do quicker abstract ones, which turned out a lot of bad ones but produced a couple decent ones.

These are 2 of my best line-art and watercolor illustrations. Again, I tried to be more abstract and experiment on these which did not work a lot of the time, but I thought these were kind of interesting. It was kind of a fun process, definitely better on the small scale when its not nearly as bad if you mess up your line drawing.

Next up is my best digital version of anything I have done. Going into this I did not think it would turn out since I had no experience on a tablet, but in the end I really like it. It was kind of nice being able to Command - Z your mistakes away too.

Here is my best Facebook illustration, and it is approved (on the back). This one I mixed line-art and watercolor. I think the line-art is a lot stronger than the watercolor, but I still think it works. Even if it was a mercy approval. Plus its got a dirt bike in it, thats always a plus.

Then there is my product illustration. I actually had a decent watercolor one too, but I always end up going with the line-art. I like this, spent a decent amount of time one it. Also got that approval baby. Its of a watch that tells two times in a weird way if you are confused. I don't know...it looks cool when I where it.

And finally the open category. For this I choose my 20 x 30 watercolor, of course of a tractor. That is all I have pictures of it seems. But I definitely spent the most time on this, but at least I like the way it turned out. The background was actually the hardest part for me since I had no idea what to do, Rusty was nice enough to help me though.

So there you have it. My midterm portfolio. Now no more illustration until the night before the final portfolio, right? On that I am rolling out of K-money. Take it sleazy, and I'm out.

Jackass Painting

I feel like I always end up doing a painting or a drawing of Johnny Knoxville for my studio class, so here is my one for Illustration, not saying there won't be more. It is a pick out Gouache. I think it is starting to work, but I needs a lot more done to it. Hopefully I can come back to it, but I was starting to mess it up so I thought I'd step away from it for a bit. Here is what I got so far though.

Sean Never Looked So Good

Oh holla holla holla, something done on time for once. Check it out, tablet drawing of Mr. 007 with a mustache himself. Did it using the same subtractive process as the other one, except this one on the computer. I am actually kinda of happy how this one turned out, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much because I know how Rusty loves to crush them. But here it is, Suck it Rusty (Trebek).

Sean Connery

Here is my attempt at a pick out Gouache. It is supposed to be Sean Connery. Rusty says needs some more structure and I can see that. I didn't think it was going to turn out but in the end it started to come around. Hopefully I can touch it up and make it work a little better.

One more Tractor

Here is a big ass tractor. This took awhile, like a lot longer than I thought it would. I am done though, maybe throw on a wash or something if Rusty whines about the white space. We will see. Kinda happy how it turned out though which is weird.

Mercy Approval

I did a little work on the self portrait and got it mercy approved, which is fine by me. C's for dayzzzzzzzz baby.

 Also to my loyal blog followers (the 3 of you) sorry I have been completely blowing it lately. As my apology here is this sweet Striptease video. Enjoy.
