My Painting Progress

I'm pleased with this landscape, I drew it from a drawing of the landscape (I was in the Botanic Gardens at the time). I am starting to understand the media a lot more now, and I know I have a long way to go, but I am really pleased with this ^^.

Add Colour Pencil


Added colour to the face. I'm at bit of a lost as what to do now, but I feel like there's more that can be done.

Face Practice


I am pleased with the face, I used some drawing references from Monet and Michelangelo to build the face up. I really like the eye and the nose ^^.
I have not yet finished, but I wanted to scan it in at this stage to capture this particular stage. Just in case the colouring doesn't look as good :).

Experimentation




Just a series of experimentation with marker on cartridge paper. This is the first time I've actually created a piece specifically aimed at using the bleeding for more images, and I purposefully made my first image darker than I would have liked; but it gives the other two drawings a nice background I think.

Results of Final Session of Life Drawing

This was drawn for the whole session of Life Drawing, minus the breaks in the class I estimate that I would have worked 4 hours on this drawing.
I am quite pleased with it ^^.

Alternate Drawing - Collaborative Project




This is my part of the collaborative project I have with some other classmates. I was suppose to draw on all the sheets, but I thought about how much there was of the toilet paper and I wanted to find a faster way of drawing on all of the sheets.

The Princess and the Sorcerer - New Work in Progress


This is the first sketch for a series of paintings that I have in mind, and written down :P. I don't think that this one will be the first painting in the series, and I want to do some more research on some more painters. I am still working on my painting skills and I am currently looking closely at Hogarth who I am looking at for his Marriage a la Mode paintings. I think that when I finish my sketches and start painting I will have a greater idea of how my end plan will turn out like.
But here is my first sketch, featuring my Princess and her admirer, who is her fathers' aid, who is also my Sorcerer.
I did not want my story to be like some Disney fairy tale, so I did not want my Princess to hate him. I tried my best to have her turn away not knowing what to do rather than to turn away in disgust. I think I drew her face the way I hoped. Anywho, this being a sketch and the first one drawn so far it will probably with no doubt change.
