Self Portrait!!!??

This is a a self portrait as an Extraterrestrial being!! This was fun to work on and good practice with Photoshop since I had to use a couple of techniques that I was already forgetting!

Digital Painting Exercise

This was my final painting.

This was my first attempt at Digital Painting. I used this illustration by Enoch Bolles and I tried to copy it to the best of my ability. I am not a big fan of Santa and I strongly dislike smoking of any kind but this looked like and interesting illustration so I decided copy it. The top image is my version of the original illustration which is at the bottom. I used Photoshop CS4.

Ellen Ripley

Finished illustration.

This is an abstract portrait of Ellen Ripley as she becomes a Xenomorph. The idea behind my concept was the importance of Sigourney Weaver to the Alien franchise. I feel that she is synonymous to the iconic Xenomorph. I also wanted to upload an image of my final sketch and finished piece to compare them and see the transition between the two.

This is an Illustration depicting the adventures of Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare as they try to save the White rabbit from the Red Queen. As they leave their statue forms in Central Park they come to life with new powers they will need to fight the evil experiments created by the Red Queen such as the M²!! Watercolor and Photoshop.

Female Pirate (Finished)

This is the final version of this watercolor exercise. I really liked the texture of the paint and the paper. I feel like I learned a lot about using a limited amount of colors to create a cohesive illustration. I used Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna on Strathmore 400 cold press paper.

Vulture

This was a color exercise in which I needed to match a photography as much as possible. This image is my painting. Although painting has been such a difficult skill for me to learn; I feel that this exercise really helped me understand it a bit better.

This is a side by side comparison of the photograph and my painting.

Pride

This is a scratchboard illustration with one of the deadly seven sins as theme, Pride

My favorite one!

Well that's all I can say for this painting, it was my favorite. I feel that after 4 months of working with watercolors this is the best I could do. I feel comfortable now working with them. I was very pleased with it and I still am. This was a 40 min pose.

Buffoon

These two paintings were from the same session.

10 min pose.

20 min pose.

Watercolor!!!

These are some of the best paintings I did during these past few months. Some of them are 20 minute poses and some are 40.

This painting reminded me the fashion illustration classes I took last year. Something about the music and the model helped me paint this. I was feeling very inspired during this session. 40 min. pose.

This was another 40 min pose.

This might have been a 30 min pose.
