Art Dump #4

Not as big as my last one but posting it anyway.

I had my art class Saturday. Usually we stay at Mrs. Mona's house (my art teacher.) but she decided that since only two of us showed up, we needed a change of scenery and she took us to a local cemetery to look at gravestones and sketch some of them .(Definitely up my alley, I'll say.) It was very interesting. We saw dates that went back all the way to 1832. And we saw a lot of grave spots for children and infants around 1834. It was kind of sad. (I think an awful disease hit around that time.) While we were walking I spotted a BEAUTIFUL statue of this angel inside some type of monument and we sat down and sketched it, then painted it in watercolor, very roughly.

Here's what I got up. (sorry you can't see the sketch very well. I used a very hard lead which makes the lines come out lighter.)

I was trying to get the basic idea down. (and trying to capture exactly what I saw.)

Then we got it in watercolor. My teacher and the other student both thought of the angel with brown hair, but to me, he seemed more like he had blonde. This was also my first time attempting realism with watercolor. I think the color came out well but the drawing just sucks. I need to practice realism more...

Art Dump #3

ANOTHER ART DUMP!

I haven't been very active in drawing since....January. (I know horrible! Schools been total hell!) But here's some small doodles that have been keeping me at bay! (and keep a wide eye! Some of these will be turned into actual drawings and not just doodles.)

DOODLES GALORE! Believe it or not, it all started off as a simple practice sketch on arms. (ON the far top right.) Then it somehow became a collage of random crud!
Since I'm scannerless, I took this with my camera and it cut off my Twilight parody! (Bottom right above the eye!) Oh well!

If you can catch these, there's two of my newest OC's! Try to find them!







MOAR DOODLES! Not as much as the other one but still doodles! Mostly of my OC Cacis and on the left was my fail attempt at drawing myself in my prom dress! (The theme was starry night.)




Work in Progress on a BEAUTIFUL Cyber Goth! :D (Blame it on listening to too much Angelspit and Porcelain and the Tramps. ^^;;;; )

I'm having a little trouble with her bottom half but I'll figure something out. I WANT CYBER DREADS SO BAAAD! There soooo sexy! (But so expensive!)






Another work in progress of an upcoming painting. (Or at least I think it'll be a painting.) This isn't the actual work itself though. (What I do is, when I think up a cool idea for a picture, I'll just roughly sketch out the idea first on some scrap paper. Then later, I'll start to draw it out with effort on good paper.) This is the scratch paper version.



Another work in progress/idea for another drawing/painting! The idea came to me during a lecture in Forensic Science. ^_^ (Very fun class!) It's a little risque but I'm trying to express an idea of beauty and purity. (And no, some angry lady is NOT going to be floating over her. lulz)

It sucks right now because of the same reason for my previous picture. It's the scratch paper version.






That's all for now yall! <3 I'll upload more doodles soon! :D
