Finally was able to take some pics of my art and put them on my computer now will have to see if i can put them on my blog....here goes:
These are my chalk pastel paintings. I LOVE working with chalk pastels...they are very easy to blend and work with. And all the ones I did I just used the medium weight drawing paper, not even the pastel paper...I do have some but it is nice that you can get just as nice effects with just drawing paper....
Here are just some pencil sketches I am trying to improve on drawing people. The puppy is the only drawing where I actually looked at a picture...I have been working on just drawing things from my head....sometimes they turn out not so bad ;)
Some of my cartoon sketches....I did draw these all from pictures...but the pictures were mostly small size, maybe 4 or 5 inches big...so ya I do draw kinda big ;) I like to draw from different artists, it is fun to study their different techniques.....
Some more of my cartoon sketches....Disney people are really challenging but I enjoy it :)
The first two are oil paintings....the only 2 I have ever made actually....and the 3rd one is an attempt at watercolor, but I really like it for some reason....I love the sky and liked how it turned out. Also the trees look like they have shadows on the ground but that was a total mistake! The paint ran where I didn't want it to, but I just left it alone, and now I kinda like it there :) And the last one is Tempra paints on I believe posterboard....I liked how it turned out...did that in my senior year of high school. I am really hoping to sign up for a Watercolor painting class this fall....will help me a great deal I think...
I love your first oil painting. It gives me the sence that i am there canoeing on the lake. I love art that i can escape into. Your cartoon sketches are really really good. If it doeant take too long to draw you could easily be hired as a sketch artist no problem. My other favorite is the black and white palm tree the shading and texture does the trick for me. Eogo is awesome what a great pose. If you are going ti submit wild thing i would draw it again. Cause if your first attempt was that good i can only imagine what would happen with practice. Xo thanks for sharing your creativity with the world
