Figure Drawings

Figure drawings from Fall 2009.

Birnum Wood, Acrylic

Forest I designed for my illustration class taught by Alice Bunny Carter. This was my interpretation of Birnum Wood for the play Macbeth. The inspiration for my design, was a giant redwood with bark that twisted up its trunk. It also had giant finger-like roots that engulfed the forest floor. I revisited the redwoods to find more trees of this nature and study the movement of the bark. Rendering the bark was so much fun, it was hard moving on to other parts of the painting.

Experimenting with Paint

The first assignment I was given in my animation class was to create an animation doing whatever we wanted. I decided to make a stop motion abstract short with paint on canvas, because..... I love paint. We were given only a week to do this, so I apologize for the abrupt ending. I had too much fun on this project and I plan on making more paint animation films in the future.

Totoro and Rubber ducky study

Another Photoshop practice on a still life. I'm still figuring out the program and trying different processes. It is a lot of fun! Although I still need to find out how to make neon orange...

Strawberry poison Frog

One of my first times painting on Photoshop. Photo reference used.

Art Exchange

My friends and I did a Secret Santa art exchange and here is the painting I made for my good friend Clam. Thanks Kristina for making this happen. I'm looking forward to next year.

Arden Wood

My design of Arden Wood, from the Shakespeare play As You Like It. First time with a visual development assignment in my illustration class. I also designed two forests from the plays Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth. I'll post those once I put the finishing touches on them.
