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.

Another Redo of the Snowflake

Thank you to the person that gave me the critique, I think it improved my piece significantly. I am pretty happy with all the changes, from her position to the white outline on her hair and outfit. I would love to hear any more feedback!

Fire Maiden II

I am thrilled to say that I finished the fire maiden piece. Figuring out the fire and her neck and head were challenges for me when I was working on this piece, but I finally got through it. Another difficulty was making the dress and fire become one. I didn't want to make her look like she was being consumed by fire; that would be bad. I am pretty excited by the concept and I hope you like it too.

Hello Everyone! I am excited to say I am continuing my art deco inspired girls. I am having so much fun drawing them and I hope you all enjoy looking at my work. For this piece I want to be the opposite of my snowflake, so I chose fire. I drew this girl coming from a flame which turns into her dress, which I am totally excited about. I put my sketch in the computer and now I am going to do a value study of my piece.

Happy Holidays!

I am happy to say that I have a revised illustration to display for everyone! I have been taking a break and trying to recover from this past semester. Yesterday I had the desire to fix my snowflake girl and here she is! I made the extensions from her body bigger so you can see them, rotated the snowflake for design interest, and lots of other tweaking. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday! Happy New Year!

Hello all! It has taken me unusually long to get a new post up this month due to the last week of school and finals week. However, I have many updates to share with you. Here is today's illustration. It's the same style as my moon, but for the holiday season I made a snowflake. You are welcome to leave comments. I enjoy hearing them.
