Sketch of Sarah

Sketch of my sister, Sarah.

Edit of Makenna Princess

At my BFA show over a month ago, I got some advice on how to make this piece better. I realized that Makenna's head was going to be on the fold of the book. I went into Illustrator and moved her (and her teddy and horse) over as well as fixed the castle. It wasn't clear that the castle was a box so I added contrast and made the towers look like paper towel rolls. I am pretty excited about it and I hope you like it as well!

Lunch is finished!

Hello Everyone! I have finally finished my little kitty going diving for his lunch! It has been a while since I use acrylics, but it was good to know that I still have my painting technique down. I would love to get any comments on this piece. Thanks!

More Sketches!

This one I drew at an illustration conference. The task was to take a sketch we drew of a child and make it into a character. I quite like this one.


As weird as it sounds this image came to me as I was falling asleep and I had to grab my sketch book and draw it quickly before it left my mind. It reminds me of those little Russian dolls.



Lastly I drew my friend Krysta when she was speaking in church. I am pretty proud I could get this done as she was talking and moving.

Sketches

Here are some sketches I have done during church. I hope you enjoy!

Dream

This project is title, "You are what you.." and I choose dream. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do for this project. Usually people think of "you are what you eat" or some other variation. One night I had a dream that I was flying and it is such a cool feeling. A lot of the time I wish I could fly in real life, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way. So this dream inspired my illustration of a girl flying. I wanted to capture that feeling of freedom I get in my dreams, like no one can catch you and nothing is tying you down. I had fun playing with the colors and shapes and just getting the feeling of flying.

Bolero

Hello Everyone!

I have been working on Ballet posters for Utah's ballet west. I wasn't commissioned or anything, however I would like to show them what I have done an hopefully I can get some freelance work for them.

I had fun doing this poster. It was a difficult dance to research and the only version of the ballet I could find was a video cassette from the 1980s. I will say it is difficut to get the mood of the dance and attitude of the dancers in one shot. However, it was fun to research as well as create. Enjoy!
