Sketch of the day [1/29/14]: Godzilla Therapist (color)

I like that I took a chance on this with color it feels like it has taken on a life of its own. I like the different colors variations that I did with the water color pencils in the buildings and also in the planes. I don't think I went out my element with this but I do think I am either getting better with my colors or I'm paying more attention to details. I added more photos so you can see the different color variations I did for the beam and the planes I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed doing this. Looking at the picture now I don't know if it is the color of the paper or the photo but it came out gray, maybe because of the water added to the paper. If that's the case I'll up load it again in another post when it dries up. Anyway, talk to y'all later:

Sketch of the day [1/28/14] Godzilla the Monster Therapist (black &white)

This was a fun sketch I did I called it Godzilla the Monster Therapist. I'm getting into the making my art tell a story. This is the black & white version I'm thinking of adding color to it to make it more interesting. For now this works so check it out & tell me what you think:

 

Also like everywhere else, or for the most part of the world, it's snowing in Georgia and here is a glimpse of what it looks like in my neighborhood also check it out under Photography. I need to take more pictures and post it in photography so look over there for more later. 

Project Pastels Final Phase

This was frustrating at first because I never did this before but now I like how it turned out. The girl I like her but I still have to practice on drawing faces. The skulls turned out good even though skulls are white I like them grey. The chain came out good I'm still working on textures but this will do for now. The flowers came out perfect, this was when I was finally getting the hang of using the pastels plus they just pop/stand out. Finally my favorite part which is the elephant I like how I used a whole different technique to do the elephant giving it it's own personality. Lastly the back ground which I used every color I used for the drawing so it came out looking like this mysterious colorful background. Overall this was good for a first try at pastels I learned that I like chalk better but maybe I have to practice with the oils later but here it is the finished product. I hope you like it:

Project Pastels Phase 3

Just finished up the skulls, the chain, and the nose of the elephant. This is one of my favorite phases because I can see everything come together and not just a bunch of stuff being put together. This is the phase where I know what I wanted to do and how to use the pastels the way I want. You will see more of what I am talking about in the final phase. Anyway here it is phase three of this pastel project. I'll be posting the finished product later:

Project Pastel Phase 2

This is some of the colors that I have put in. Let me start by saying I'm not a oil pastel fan but I do like the look and feel of the chalk pastels that make up most of this drawing. Also I'm not a fan of the girl's right I eye I think I might have messed up on something along the way but I'm still learning so that is going to happen until I practice more. Other than that I'm loving the elephant, I think that is the strongest thing in this piece. All and all it is coming together I'm learning how to use these pastels and it is a challenge but I'll get through it. Anyway take a look:

 

Project Pastels phase 1

Yesterday I decided to start practicing with my pastels I found out I have 2 which are chalk and oils. I think I'm addicted to what the elephant stands for which is patience. This looks similar to the daily sketch I put up a day or two ago but I wanted to go ahead and practice on the pastels that I have. I think I'm going to call this Project Pastels, this is stage one so stay tuned for more: 

Throwback Thursday

Today I was looking through my portfolio and found this I called it childhood, I think. If you look closely you will see all my favorite cartoons Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Charlie Brown, Foster Home for Imaginary Friends, and many other shows that I used to watch. I did this is 2011 in my first art class that I ever took. Now I see some of the flaws they were talking about and what I could have worked on but my eye wasn't as sharp as it is now but I do like what I did with the hands and so did someone else I forgot who though. I was not only looking at this but also some of my old stuff that I did and I have progressed maybe that is a good thing looking back on old works and see how I progressed instead of looking too far ahead and expecting myself to be this great artist. Anyway, here it is:
