Picnic

I started a watercolor! I don't have much experience with watercolors, but I absolutely adore how they look. Many people underestimate how difficult it is to actually paint with them! 

The actual size of this is pretty small, and it's also a WIP. 

I'm afraid I just blue myself

Today was the day that the infamous Bluth's frozen banana stand came to New York and OF COURSE, LIKE ALL GOOD THINGS IN LIFE, it just HAD to be while I was in school. Why do bad things happen to good people?

Anyway, as an act of my sorrow, I decided to paint a portrait of Tobias Funke after he blue himself. Pun intended. 

It's still a WIP, but it's getting somewhere. He's also missing his glasses. Oops.

EDIT****

Here's an update on this painting. I'm probably going to add more to the background and tweak things here and there, but I'm done for the most part. 

Whale, whale, whale..what do we have here.

Recently, I feel like I've been in an artistic rut. I'm not very inspired to do anything- nothing BIG has come to me. But who knows...great ideas are developed, not thought of. I talked to Luke about this and he said something that made me feel a bit better- that I'm working in a lab, not a factory. 

I've been jumping all over the place, but I haven't completed anything solid yet. To combat the boredom, on Friday I decided to play around with some charcoal plus a huge roll of paper, and this is what I got out of it: a whale...air balloon? I don't know. But what I do know is that I like it- it looks like it could be found in a children's book of some sort. Least now I know the anatomy of a whale.

*EDIT*

I expanded on this and made it into an oil painting. It's a WIP.

Triad

I'm not as comfortable with the naked body yet, so I did some practice.

Sometimes I get a frustrated because I'm already so bored of where I am.
I want to get out and travel. I want adventure. I want to explore regions of the earth I've never set foot upon. I'm sick of living in suburbia, where it's impossible to get anywhere if you don't have a car. I'm over high school. I'm already mentally beyond the experiences that high school entails.

Will this ever end?!

Line work

Just doing some practice with some lines. I think that my previous drawing (the man) tremendously helped my abilities in terms of drawing human faces. I've made lots of progress. 

Bison Skull

This is currently a WIP! It's made out of mesh, wire and mod podge as of right now.

Some thoughts I'm having about this piece is possible creating a full skeleton and suspending it in mid air with fish wire, or something if the sort. Then, illuminating it some how.

My hands are terribly cut up, but I knew that this was going to happen going into this project. It's practically inevitable. Now lets just hope I don't get tetanus.
