The little fishie that could?


Illustraaaaatiooooooon!
As a project for Ill 1 we did 'Animal Disguises,' or animals dressing up as other animals to accomplish some purpose, using found objects to create their badly made costumes. Acrylic on ill board.

I like the calm quality of it, with the deadpan herons just watching as the fish struts off as confidently unbalanced as he can.


Go, Catfish, go!

Oh, Frank Sinatra, why are you so amazing?

The first one here is from the 'Every Hair on the Dog' eye project for Brandes. Um... so.. I did a baby Regal Horned Lizard, which, for a while, I thought was going to kill me, but I think it turned out pretty well. I'm not ever going to put it in a portfolio (especially as a senior). I may be dumb, but not that dumb. Sweetman warned me against it, which was nice of him. I can't believe people would to that. I would hope they'd gotten a little better by the time they got to 4th year. Lame. (But I hear they get RIPPED APART for it in portfolio review :D )



Now for the oil rub color pencil technique. This stuff kicks my ass, pardon my language. This process and I do NOT get along. I want to keep working with it on other pictures, but man, it's just hard for me. This is the second try, now using a picture of Kristin Chenoweth (hush, Rachel), and most of the mistakes are drawing errors, seeing as I wasn't really paying attention while trying to draw this at Marc's house during Thanksgiving. Beh.
I will not give up though! England Prevails! um.. I mean...
