FASHION

I've had this sketch for a while, just never did anything with it. I also have another one that's similar. I will probably edit this one and put them together.
This feels very fashion-like to me. I think it's just the mood of the sketch.

It's simple, but I like it.

Welp, hopefully I'm getting better. I'm trying to learn how to make my paintings a little more interesting as well as structured. It's taking some time, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. =)

I've always wanted to do something semi Native American. <3

This has to be my favorite painting at this point. I used reference, but I've stylized it so much and used so much of my own creative choices that this painting really feels like me. If I've been trying to accomplish anything, it's something like this and I really do believe I can only continue to grow as an artist.

Oh, and she has a cute tattoo on her hip that says "le merow" with a kitty. I love kitties <3

Mm tattoos

So at this point I started to use a lot of reference because my anatomy just wasn't looking right at all on the previous paintings and I really wanted to show off some skills because I know I have them, I just havent been using them correctly yet, haha. I still would like to fix the left bow side because it sticks out a bit too far for me and possibly render her out a little more, mostly her lips and eyes. maybe a few more tattoos, too.

P.S: girls with tattoos are so hot. *dies*

Le merow?

I wanted to do something really stylized with this one. I'm not quite sure how it came out, but I'm happy with it so far.

Boa Babe

So this is where I wanted to see if I can create a composition is which I use the whole page, but it didn't work out the way I wanted to. I need to redo this one. I talked with my character and object design teacher, Patric, and he basically said she looks like an old hag, hahaa. And the perspective of her body looks off. At some point I will finish it.

Caricature of the awesome Tabitha

This is a caricature of my wonderful sister Tabitha. She recently dyed her hair red and it looks awesome. She's a 14 year old epic one.

Ah, young love <3

This was a painting I did for my boyfriend. I wanted to create a full image in photoshop without importing a sketch. This was my first one. As you can see, I still have a lot of learning to do. BUT! I am positive I will learn!

Background Designs

This was done in my Background and Layout class. with Kristin Donnor. She's super sweet.
Obviously these are extremely stylized. I'm still getting used to photoshop painting and not traditionally, but hopefully with a lot of practice I can start creating awesome backgrounds.

Hello Blogspot.com!

I've been putting making one of these blogs off for so long now it's ridiculous.
I've got some new art that I would consider semi Blogspot worthy. Hopefully some of you will agree.
But for now, I am in a rush to go off to a shoot so I will post the art soonish and hopefully add those awesome artists I know!
