Hats!

I started a millinery class on Monday and am now trying to design the 5 hats I'll be making over the course of the semester. I've figured out one thus far, the most complex and 4th due, a buckram fabric covered hat. I'm trying to work primarily with fabrics and notions I already own (to cull the masses) so I'll be making it out of raw silk (turquoise and black) with a sheer black fabric covering the turquoise. Likely lined with a dark grey.

More fancy punks

My drawing method is now officially 1. try to draw something, 2. have it turn into a bunch of sour-faced punks. I'm not typing out what it says behind them here because this is my "attempt at being professional blog".
The guys's hands are easily the best hands I've ever drawn; that is, however, outweighed by the fact that his boots are the worst boots I've ever designed.

More Colour Tests

Lady counterpart to yesterday's boy. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore as I've stared at my computer screen for the length of 2.5 soundtracks and I'm going to go do something else now. Like make dinner.

Colour Tests

Colour tests for an illustration I'm planning. The first was a warmup; the later two are actually being considered.

Quorra

Quorra from Tron Legac, 2-2.5 hours
Had difficulty with her smile and a little bit with the colours but I really liked drawing her eyes. They're so expressive.

Rachael

Spent about 2 hours last night making a first attempt at a colour portrait (only ever done black and white); big learning curve but a great experience. I used a movie frame of Rachael from Blade Runner as reference. Likeness, good; colours, not so much.

Mushroom Lady

Coloured the ink drawing I did last week in photoshop. Thinking that she's in need of becoming a sticker for my laptop some time soon. Also like the first thing I've ever drawn that I think would make a good print.
