I know you had something to do with what happened to my homework.

First, for Travis, here's how the creature turned out:

(I really hope Sara posts hers too, because it turned out very nicely)

Now I need some advice on the upcoming "narrative" assignment. I'm pretty happy with it, but there's still an "unfinished" feeling about it, and I can't tell what is missing. I know I overworked the watercolor in the smoke, but that can't really be changed much so try not to be too brutal with critiques. I just have the vague feeling that there needs to be just one more object or color, but I don't know what or where.

actual assignments

The first assignments of the semester:
Symbolic piece about federal healthcare


3 panels for fairytale "the singing bone"




and some sketches for the "draw people interacting with creatures" project...yeah.

To avoid mucking up a bunch of space with sketches that have nothing to do with real assignments,
I'll just link my latest batch

enjoyyyyyyyyyy

Federally Subsidized Healthcare, having nothing to do with

I spent the morning lazily sketching some fun things, despite the amount of boring assignments slowly piling up in front of me (or perhaps because of it).

I'm not sure why I've felt compelled to design book covers lately. Maybe it's because of the liberally vague subject matter, or the mixture of illustration and design, or just the idea of making "functional" art in the form of a neatly decorated little adventure to carry around.

Warming up.

But first, a peek at the pillow that Jimmy embroidered for me for Christmas! This is what we were trying to describe to you, Travis:


I love it. What yummy images and textures...


I also received a scanner for Christmas, so now I have no excuse for lollygagging when it comes to posting recent work. Since school is starting tomorrow, and I appear to be incapable of self-initiating work, I have some life drawings that were done yesterday and today...I've also taken my first stab at attempting to draw Jimmy. It'ssodifficult. :( Never have I felt so utterly intimidated by drawing a person's likeness.

Show of Hands

From this winter:











Some of those you've seen before, but I still wanted to officially post them.
Guess I drew more over break than I thought I had :)
