Art Party

I wanted to share Paul's blog and concept art page!  I'm so proud of him ... It's inspiring to turn my head and see him working so hard.  I don't know how he does it... but it sure does pay off!  Look at it!  I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous of his enthusiasm to work all night and day.  He's helped me so much with figure drawing.

Here's two of my favorites (they're all my favorites.. and I'm not just being sweet!) of his digital paintings.  I'm sure you can guess why... does the song You're So Vain come to your mind, too?  ;)

Here's his Blog

And Concept Art (more things here) Page 4 is the most current!

He's the best! 

Tiny Sailor

I made this using the tempera resist technique.  It's really that fuzzy because the ink has a tendency to bleed... even more so because I chose to use wood as a base.  The leaves, the thin lines inside the boat, the texture of his hair and his little face were made with a micron pen.   

Yesterday I got hired for an internship with a stationary business!  Also, I saw a sloth.  I. Saw. A. Sloth... in person!  It was the sweetest little guy I've ever seen.  I also saw some sharks, stingrays, dolphins and a sea turtle! Then I bought some ruffly socks. It was a really perfect day.  I even had a smoothie.

The Aquarium

Oh, Deer.

Get it?!  Hoooo boy, was that a good one! (It wasn't)
I bought this scarf when I was in New York and was wondering why I did because I don't really wear scarves (but I do buy impulsively). It turned out that it's the perfect fit for the little forest boy I made last year!  I'm not so sure if that justifies buying said scarf, but it's good enough for me.

Skate Decks

Here they are a month later (whoopsie..).  I’m really happy with how they turned out.. my teacher was, too.  He asked if they were for sale!  I told him “In your dreams!” and ran out of the room like a bat out of hell! No I didn’t.  I smiled like a 5 year old and made a sound that was closer to a “myyahhbsj” than an actual word.  Clearly, the sale was never confirmed.  

There’s a few things I’d like to change now that I am seeing them after a break.  Like the little adventurer's face.  I think his eyes are too close and flat.  I changed the way I draw lil’ boy eyes since then (now they are like the one’s in Little Winter Friend, more hollow and wrinkly).  Anyways,  I think the decks turned out pretty sweet (like a tiny flower) and strange (like a snail).  

Thank you to my lovely model for being patient, you are a star!
