Childish Gambino
Childish Gambino is a charcoal portrait I did of the artist Childish Gambino/Donald Glover.
Donuts
Oil Pastel Donuts: I’m proud of this drawing because it was the first time using oil pastels and drawing food.
Water color: I’m proud of this drawing because it’s one of my original characters I made this year. At first it was drawn in makers and I decided to redraw it again in water colors.
Stippling Project
This project was finished on September 18 and the materials I used were a toned piece and a black flair felt tip pen.
Dream Machine
Watercolor painting of a 1984 911 Carrera in rubystone red. One of 3 in the world, this rare and gorgeous pink made it stand out to say the least. I was inspired by Paul Howse's watercolor artworks.
Self Portrait "Coraline Doll"
I created this self portrait doll inspired by the one in the movie Coraline. I made a wire armature for the doll's body and sculpted the features out of air-drying clay. The hair is yarn, which I attached one-by-one using a few different colors. I designed and sewed the doll's dress and made her necklace, too.
Dragon and Labrador
A dragon and a labrador inked using micron pens with a watercolor background, on a grassy hillside.
Puro veneno
This piece is inspired by nathy pelusos song “puro veneno”, I played around with line variation, and hatching. I used fine tip pens for the entire piece, the micron pens I used were a 005, 0.1, 0.8, 0.2. Latin music has always played a large part in my upbringing and finding an artist who produced very traditional yet a modern style of latin music really resonated with me. Parts of the piece are directly based off the artist herself, and also inspired by her latest albulm.
Made for you
This piece was originally a prompt for an in class assignment, the prompt I choose was tension. I decided to depict the tension between two very connected people, the tension that is displayed depends on how the audience views the piece. I played with line work, and shading. The materials I used was micron fine tip pens, and the tips are a 005,0.1,0.2,0.8. This piece felt very personal but also slightly detached, it grew into its own and the two people depicted came into their own.
How to paint a drawing with watercolor
Have a water brush and if you want to paint it light you will put more water on it and if you want dark you will not put a lot of water on it.
Garden of Denial
This drawing represents the first stage of the 5 stages of grief: Denial. The girl appears cheerful, despite the flowers withering and dying below her. The chrysanthemums and raven are also a symbol of death that is soon to arrive. No matter how much one tries to avoid the idea, death is still apart of life and is happening right under our noses whether we acknowledge it or not. It also shows how despite how happy one may seem, they could be going through a rough time.
Big Foot, Big Foot Jr.
This idea came to me during art class. We could do anything we wanted and I decided to do something no one has done before. I started working on this, and got more and more ideas as I went along. I was watching Judy Moody the night before and big foot was featured in that movie. When I got to class I thought that would be a fun idea. I am very proud of what has come out of this and hope to make more and more.
