Final project number 4

Winter. Honestly I had alot of trouble with this one. I was not sure how to add detail and still keep it winter-y. I'm sorry it came out kinda crappy.

Final project number 1

For my 4 pieces I decided that my theme would be the four seasons. This one is spring. I sketched out and then colored it with pastels, then went into photoshop and added some filters.

I have never seen someone use tinted charcoals before, but now I REALLY want to try it! And I never thought of using a paintbrush to smooth the charcoal and pastels, which I would also like to try out sometime.

I am kinda obsessed with this opening, and since its animated I feel like I should post it. It has so many amazing scenes, I may do a few thumbnails later on....

mega mountie

Playing around with the mega mountie, he is now holding a paint brush.

I recently started using these smudge sticks in my art projects and i really love them! They smooth things over and make them nice and pretty and keep things from smearing. I can't believe I never used them before!

at home projects

Process photos. Honestly I feel pretty embarrassed uploading these their so bad.

At home projects

So I was watching Soul Eater last night, and one of the characters made an interesting expression, and even though I don't usually like to start something while I'm int he middle of a project, this just needed to be drawn.

Brainstormer project

This is my finished brainstormer project for flight, mythical, tree. When I think of flight and mythical, I immediately think of birds, so I tried to incorporate tat by making my tree bird shaped. I sketched the bird out in pencil and then took a picture of it with my phone and put it in photoshop. I then used the charcoal effect to make the lines more pronounced. I then used the paint brush tool to create color in the background, and took the opacity of the layer down to about 50%. I then used the film grain effect. I was trying to make it look like it was on an old piece of paper, because I think of old paintings and scrolls and such when I think of "mythical" things. I then added color to the leaves and there you have it.

brainstormer project

This is one of the first things I did to my project when I put in photoshop. I tried to upload the version I have now, which is almost complete, but it won't let me without making it so I can no longer edit the picture. But in photoshop I have added color and such to it.
