Now we're working with acrylic paints. The project is to do the eye of an animal. The piece can either
be a super zoom in or even just the entire animal. It all depended on what we wanted to paint.
We did a little demo to understand how much detail our professor expected out of us. She handed out these owls she already drew and we painted over the card stock. My media professor is an amazing artist btw! I admire her stuff a lot.
so for my animal I picked several and she OKed the elephant shrew for me!
and then here's the work in progress so far. It's not due for almost two weeks so it's going slow.. I gotta paint each hair on this little guy.
Illustration
slow such a slow class.
I finally finished the La Musica poster we had to make for the chamber music orchestra in Sarasota. It's a little contest we all have and the opera house picks one of our posters to be used for their festival. It's themed every year and this year it was "Moving Music." I'm pretty ok with my final piece.. I learned a cool trick with photoshop that is definitely starting to affect the way I draw now.
Anyway here's the process for my piece!

super rough mini sketch
more refined sketch but still a messy mess of ugliness
value study line art (the actual line art is not really anything special since this is meant to look like a blue print and there's not much value study that can be explored there..)
and the final!!
I have no idea if I have a chance in winning. My poster got a good critique but it's so.. different.. from what everyone else did. I'm pretty sure that won't work to my advantage. Hm.
For now we're doing a page or spread illustration for a children's book or fairytale of our choosing. I picked goldilocks and the three bears! But we gotta reimagine the story so mine takes place in SPACE.
I'm not gonna post anything for now so I can show the full process. I'm at the value study stage right now.
