Sprinkles
So what is an art blog for, anyway? For posting art! So here's some of my latest stuff:
I'm in an Advanced Drawing Class on the Independent Study track, which basically means that I get to design my own curriculum. That's good, since I'm trying to train to be an Illustrator by being a Drawing and Painting major. Makes no sense? I don't think so either, but Kennesaw State is my school and they're sorely lacking in the illustration department.
It's a shame too, since there are so many artists there who are like minded in the Illustration-sense, since most "Fine Artists" insist on there being some sort of line of delineation between the two. KSU could really rock an Illustration Department if they had the right professors... unfortunately they don't think it's very important for some reason. And that just fries my pickle!
Regardless, I'm trying to force a major out of where there isn't one, and so my homemade curriculum includes all sorts of odd variety and illustration-y things. I hope that made sense. Oh well. So this is Project #2, where I'm doing some supernatural/monstery drawings on some antiqued parchment that I made with a technique that I learned at Dragon*Con. Basically, I used watercolor instead of coffee or tea.
The actual drawings are done in a variety of mediums, but most of them are inks. The werewolf is done with inks, markers, and a touch of colored pencil. I think it'll become apparent quickly that one of my favorite mediums is marker, and that I am just about one of two (maybe three) people at my school who know how to use them. And stuff.
This one is a piece that I did during my awesomely-cooltimes study abroad trip to Montepulciano, wherein I took an Advanced Drawing class. This was one of our assignments, to be completed in our ultra-mega Moleskines of Doom. This thing is great-- one day I'm gonna scan more of my artwork from said Moleskine in, because Italian air must be good for the ol' drawing skills.
Ok, I'm done spamming with my artwork! :D More later... once I can figure how to get .jpgs of the ones that won't fit on my scanner. Not that I don't know how, it's just that I'm lazy. Aren't we all?
