Working Digitally

For my Childrens book illustration class we have to draw a mundane scene or character and then do two more images of that same scene or character but altering something to add an element of storytelling. I chose to do this digitally because it's easier to swap things out and make changes.

Here is one of the mundane scenes I'll be working with.

And this is one that didn't make the cut (it was too interesting to begin with).

Back to work!

Here are some things I did yesterday. Today I'm working on homework a lot. I'm sure I'll post some of that tomorrow!

Just a silly sketch that turned into watercolor practice.

A sketch I'm going to watercolor.

The Neighbors and My Face

Here is a doodle of some of our very unique neighbors, colored in with my new watercolors (still figuring them out a bit).

 True story.

And here are some faces I made at myself in the mirror. I was totally inspired by this Boulet comic: http://www.bouletcorp.com/blogen/index.php?date=20100317 . I read through all of his archives in the past dayish, and man this guy ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF.

Here's my ugly mug, done with a lot less finesse and style than Boulet.

Hooray.

Wishes WARNING- Genitals

Idea pulled from http://www.bouletcorp.com/blogen/index.php?date=20100219 .

If I could wish for anything for myself, these are the first things that popped into my head.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man the world is so lucky I wasn't born with a penis.

Airborne Bunny

Here is the final character page for my Norman character design done in India Ink with a nib and brush.

And the colored bunny illustration.

We have a character design assignment for Illustration class, so these are my thumbs and sketches. I'll be refining and inking today, and will also be coloring in some previous work, so tomorrow's post should be fat and juicy.

More Dragons

I spent most of yesterday working on a homework assignment that isn't very exciting but is very good practice. I won't post it because it is not all that much fun, but it did consume some time.

I did, however, paint a couple of dragons. For the first one, see my previous post. Here is the other guy, done with India Ink (for outline), watercolor pencils, and a touch of white gouache.

The background is a little louder than I meant it to be. Oh well... it was an experiment!
