Emile and Gerard

Done for illustration class, the piece had to involve a character and their sidekick suitable for a children's story and this is what I came up with. :)

This is Emile and her troll, Gerard, who are enjoying an adventure on the high seas. Well, sheets anyway because Gerard can't really leave the forest. The piece was made using acrylic paint, pastels, and photoshop.

Though Winter seems to last forever Spring is just around the corner.

Painting done for Paint & Color Theory II class. The painting had to be themed around Winter and Spring and the interpretation the artist had with those two words. This was the idea I had, which shows a figure in a parka gazing at an apple and grassy mountains that are emerging fo Spring while he/she has trekked through the snowy wasteland/cave that is Winter. 

Though Winter seems to last forever Spring is just around the corner.

That was the phrasing I put to the piece. Pretty happy with it overall.

Gentleman - Work In Progress

Right now I'm working a piece that will involve this gentleman and a lovely young lady who will be on the other side of the page. However at the moment I only have him drawn up and in the process of being inked. When I get further work done on it I'll post some more pictures. But here is what I have so far.

I'm really enjoying the cross hatching method, though it is meticulous.
