So for the next Comp. Graphics assignment we are making a promotional postcard. At first I wanted to go with the illustration of the Foo Dog and the little girl, so I colored it digitally which was fun and informative....but it didn't sit well on a rectangular surface. Yeah. Didn't plan that one. GO ME! So I thought and thought and finally considered doing something similar to my poster....It fit well on a rectangular surface and flowed well....so I came up with the girl and the salmon and the pelican!!!! I like it a lot better. I've printed little faux black and white versions to glue together and look at myself later, and I will print color versions of both this week when I buy some printer paper....shit. SO YEAH!!!!!!

I decided to mount my last computer graphics project and sell it at the Bazaar, and I had some scrap matte board that was super tall. I kind of liked the effect, but had an idea during Logic today to put a reflection. I redrew the same idea, slightly larger (on accident, but it kind of projects depth) and made a sad looking girl with a deer in her hair. Pricing it at $40. Hope it sells! Or kinda not, cuz I love itttt. (don't mind the excess rubber cement and the fact it needs to be glued down some more, that will be fixed!)

Stuff I've done this weekend! Hooray for four day weekends! Some shitty photography of a work-in-progress painting based on my previous preggo tribal lady, you can see how i use those acrylic paint by number paints I'm so cool amIrite? Also, a pen and ink drawing I'm planning on matting of a lady getting consumed by creepy baby hands, I was trying to be super flowy and loose and it was practice with drawing repeating lines. Then, my illustration project of an "Improbable event". I'm really proud of it.

I've done a lot of art lately, I've just been too lazy to drag out the scanner from under my bedside table and scan it. I'm trying to enhance my personal sketchbook with a lot of colored images for my end of year review this year. They saw my one/two colored images in my last sketchbook and said I had a good sense of color (AWESOME!!!) So I thought I'd load up on examples this time around, and dabble in character design and expressions (to be posted in the next one) in hopes to give oomph to my desire of sequential illustration. I've been using brush and ink, brush pens, and my old old friends--Crayola colored pencils. OH and did I mention that I found a WHITE GEL PEN after months of searching??? Overpriced in the school store, but well worth it. I'm so sad these went out of style after middle school.
