Mermaid!

Finally something new! This has actually been done for a little while now but I don't have a scanner and tried to use one at the school library but it didn't work out so I just decided to use my digital camera. No real story behind this one, I just love mermaids and the creatures with her are just something I made up, similar to the creatures in my girl in a messy kitchen illustration.I was doing so much digital illustration in my last semester I decided to go back to the more traditional and do this in watercolor.

Art to come soon!

My apologies for not posting anything for a while, I've been busy trying to get my life together now that I do not have the comfort of knowing I'm going back to school... Yes I graduated! But I'm sure most of you knew that. I have recently been working on something new so once that is finished I will post it asap! So work is coming, I have not completely given up on art (hopefully that will never happen). Wishing all the best to you all!

Fox and the Robin

Here is the final illustration for my Decorative Illustration class. It is taken from a story of a fox who tries to lure a Robin out of a tree by telling it that the animal kingdom has a new law of all animals living together in harmony and never to harm each other, of course the robin doesn't fall for it. It was done in Corel Painter with some editing in Photoshop.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Thanksgiving is officially over so I thought it appropriate to post this and start off the holiday fun! This was for my Decrative Illustration class, the assignment was to create a table place mat and a napkin to go along with it.
Here is the place mat, if you haven't been able to tell already I love animals and seals are one of my fav and what's cutter than a baby seal celebrating Christmas?

The napkin to go along with it. Both of these were done in Corel painter and I did a little editing in Photoshop.

Here is yet another work for my digital portfolio class. It is definitely one of my favorite classes because we are basically free to do what ever we want just as long as we try to create the best work we can to go into our portfolio.

So this one is from the story about the mouse and the lion in which the lion spares the mouses life and in return the mouse frees the lion from human captors which is the part of the story I decided to illustrate. I scanned in a pencil sketch and then finished it in Corel Painter. I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!

I finally have new work I actually like! So the first is something I did for my digital portfolio class, it is an illustration from a children’s story about a mythical bird called the bitaba bird. One is born every 100 years from a geode and they live among the stars. I first did a sketch in pencil, as I always do, and scanned the sketch and finished it in Photoshop.

This second one was for my decorative illustration class. The assignment was to create a card celebrating new life. We had three lines to choose from to illustrate and I chose “Congratulations on your special delivery!” The actual print out would not have the dark blue top but be cut out in the cloud shape. I also did this in Photoshop.

Sorry I haven't posted anything new in a while. I wanted to once a week but I haven't really liked anything I've done lately, but here's something I think is decent enough to post. Hopefully I'll do better this next week and thank you for the comments!!

I did this for a birthday card assignment in my Decorative Illustration class. This card is supposed to be for a young child's birthday and the inside would read "I hope your birthday is as sweet as you. Happy Birthday!" I did it all in Photoshop, hope you enjoy!
