new sketches...

celica

my little inspiration for the moment. gonna try working with illustrator a little more.

next project

went to an art gallery in L.A. with a friend and saw alot of inspiring pieces by Audre Kawasaki. So i guess, for my next project, im gonna try some traditional media on wood. my theme for the pieces is centered around fairy-tales and mystical creatures. this is my first piece. as you can see, it is still a work in progress. i'm hoping my second, third, and fourth piece will be much better. and hopefully be able to open my own art gallery in the next year.

foggy castle scene!!

i'm not totally satisfied with this piece but not totally dissatisfied. i know, i need more practice with foggy scenery.

mushroom!!!

does it look finished?

other sketches.. these are references from a Wizard magazine.

tonals

i guess i was working a little 'backwards' last week and wasnt really going anywhere. here are the two tonals for the two backgrounds i've been working on. thanks everyone, you're comments were very helpful. ^_^




i'm trying to give the castle scene a foggy look.

painter...

still a work in progress... it's supposed to be a nice blue-sky day. the foreground elements will definitely be more defined and textured. still need to work on the sky. eh. i think im just having a really bad week. should finish by next week.

background illustrations

class project

well, lets start the first post with an image... this was an illustration done for a class assignment in special studies for cliff cramp. ehh.. it still needs work, but i really liked it from sketch to finish.
