MVPs






While I really enjoyed creating the change project, the message means more to others than it really does to me. So I wanted to do something I knew I would really be proud of. I decided to show some appreciation to those who never understood why I didn't choose to persue art to begin with because they always believed in my ability. I enjoyed the pastels used in the last project so I decided to use them to add color to these projects. I used charcoal to create value and realism along with some line to create texture, especially in the hair and lips.

Enveloped







I started drawing what looked like cells and originally wanted something to seem like grotesque rotting, but changed to just a general plant dying when I saw how smooth it looked. The second canvas looks like a poisoned plant,  and it dies slowly from there. Originally I wanted the smoke to represent pesticides, but I feel now that ir is more representative of air pollution in general. I then took for of the pictures to also show how the smoke slowly enveloped the plant, as ever so slowly, but surely, we are killing our planet.

Happy accident

I was painting a small canvas to use a white pen on but the paper I used to protect the table started to look cool. So I used the canvas more as a stamp. It reminds me of something you'd see when getting a psychological evaluation.

Wooooo!

Fun in the negative. Just some figures exploring their parallel worlds. I wanted it to seem very abstract with the seemingly floating geometric shapes. The figures running around make them seem both solid and fluid.

Egg I swear

Used contour lines, hatching, decorative and weighted to depict an alien egg. I was inspired by a Shinedown album cover.

Gesture Drawing

Used random lines to create shape, a long with some stippling around the nose and eyes for further shaping.

Dashed lines

I used dashed lines to create the illusion of shape. Along with deep hatch lines for dimension.
