Stories of Old

Colors and composition largely stolen from a Gustave Doré painting. No one uses color like this in mainstream media.

This one comes a few days late due to some major internet issues. I'm attending the Chicago International Children's Film Festival through next week, which was gracious enough to accept the short film I was recently a part of.

Painter is a Pain

No drawing today as my file got corrupted right after I saved it. I'm gonna try and recover it....

EDIT: I managed to get the thumbnail; that's it. Apparently, Painter X likes to corrupt .PSD files at random when saving them. Which is perfect, since it already crashes at random when I try to work in its naitive .RIF format. I'm beginning to hate this program...

At least you can see what it's supposed to be. Yesterday I was at my first soccer match at the new LiveStrong Park in Kansas City, MO. Now blown up to mega-size for extra pixelage!

1 hour (plus another hour unsuccessfully trying to recover it)

Second drawing of the day after the first one kicked my butt.

Boat Dock

Tuesday, September 20.

Scandalous!

What! Dancing at a party? Unthinkable.

From Sunday, 5/22 (the scripture reference has nothing to do with this scene...)

Sewing

This was from Friday. A little sketch of my Mom and a friend sewing bridesmaids' dresses for my sister's upcoming wedding!

Castle

Back to Drawing A Day now that school's out! I almost missed this Themed Thursday, but fortunately my friend Drew reminded me 25 minutes from midnight.

Day 5

I'm a bit behind! Here's an environment sketch to help get me back on track.

Day 4

Day 3

Took a bit longer on this one; ~ 40 minutes in Painter. Yes, I'm slow.

Day 2

This week's "Theme Thursday" topic was Egypt.

Day 1

I'm starting a couple days late, so here's my first one. I drew this in Chemistry class, and took the head from Sean Cruse who was sitting directly in front of me.
