Ninja Turtle Time

This is a baby ninja turtle. I painted it in photoshop and had an enjoyable time doing so. It was a nice break from having to do backgrounds and just do a character. I actually watched TMNT for the first time in my life in order to do a little research before starting this project. It is a strange show. Maybe you have to be a young boy to appreciate it. But besides all that... enjoy!

Ladybug Ladybug fly away home,

your house is on fire

your children have gone

all except one and that's little Ann

This was my first time painting with gouache and I have to say, I actually really really liked it. It's similar to acrylics but not so plasticy feeling. It layers really nicely. It gets really really bright and very dark which I liked. So far I'm loving this semester. 

There's a caricature contest page on Facebook that I'm a part of. This weeks challenge was Robert Smith. Here's my rendition.

Our final assignment was to apply what we learned in class to a truth about tobacco contest where we created a monster that illustrated one of the facts about tobacco use. 

So here's my scary monster...

This is for the Fantasy Land assignment in my digital painting class. we had to use a combination of texture and image hose. It was pretty fun... most of the time :)

After some texture and playing with value....

I'm taking a summer digital painting class taught by the great and powerful Don Seegmiller! Here is the start to my little alien. I think she's pretty adorable.

Hopefully She'll get better as I work on her. I think it's a pretty alright start. 

Here's a little I-love-not-having-homework sketch. 

Enjoy! (I did)

Messing around with some costumes!

Finally finals week. Here are two projects I just finished.

Sorry I haven't posted in for forever. But I'm going to try to just post my homework assignments I finish regularly. Hopefully you find them fun to look at and fulfilling. Here are two caricatures I did today. I'm supposed to do three more but I'm not sure i'll get around to them today. So enjoy these ones for now.
