ballroom! process work

hey peoples here is some process work. i've been trying to integrate the shape based stuff into my painting. wow its hard. but i was looking at the rataouille book! love the colors which i am "borrowing" for this ball room scene.
i also notics how broad the strokes are ane definitely less is mORE. so i have to keep simplifying! ;-)

fee free to point out some funny things if you don't like them. ;p

just doing a grasaille before the color.

The Chef

So, this is probably the first finished image I've done in a while. But I had the day off today, and I felt productive. So here you go.

random pirate man

;p just painted a random sketch in one of my old sketchbooks.

trying to incorporate more strong shape and trying -but not always
suceeding to keep it loose. grrr. so long has it been since anotmy class. ;p

okay enough of my whine.

My first children's book illustration. Yay!

"hats"

This a piece I did for Illustration Friday. The theme this week was "hats"

I'm currently trying to come up with ideas for thesis. I'm pretty sure I want to do a children's book for it though. One of the stories I'm working on involves a little girl and her pet octopus. This is where they would live.

Happy All Saints Day!

Well, I hope everyone had a good Halloween, that is if you weren't working on projects or anything. Haven't gotten around to doing anything finished, sohere is more sketchbook stuff. I won't try to pass it off as character design, because Lizbeth is right, there is no expirment and exageration, just sketches my pencil drew. Just some super heros, trick-or-treaters, scary houses, dragons, and thumbnails for my next project (hopefully). What do you think?
