I'm back!

I was gone for a couple weeks due to family happenings (college graduations and family reunions). But I'm back and I desire to upload some more art and catch up. :)

Here is my Pig Buffalo creature..

I wasn't sure what I was thinking when I made this. I didn't use any references, just the knowledge I had from my past classes. It was done in the car while on my 2,400 mile road trip across a couple states, so don't ask! XD



Fave this on Deviantart!

This turned out completely different from how it started. I used masking fluid and then painted over it with watercolor, I then finished it in photoshop.

Kinda pretty, kinda dreamy. I'm usually not so girly, but sometimes I need it.

Board Book Images!

These were some sample ideas of kids books pages ranging for ages 0-3.

My teacher really didn't like the third one. (ha!)

 "P" is for Parrot

 "1, 2, 3"

 "U" is for Unicorn

My second collage..

came out way better than my first in my opinion!

I really like this. It took a long time to put together, but I'm happy I did it!

Eric Carle style Collage Owl

This was reated for my Children's book class. We had to create a collage like Eric Carle (the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) does for his books. It was fun! I'm going to do something more fantasy and brightly colored on the next one.

Used: tracing paper, colored pencil, markers, acrylic paint, scissors, and glue.

Cute Little Spring Birds

A good night post, feeling a bit sad, I drew something that would cheer me up! I've been looking at children's books to get ready for my upcoming class, I couldn't help it!

Children's Book Art?

The prospects of becoming a Children's book Artist are better than ever!

The more people I speak with, the more opportunities I find for me to expand my horizons with options such as self publishing, or just creating books in general. With the help of my friends that have these wonderful talents of writing and creating stories, I feel that whomever I pair up with, it will be a great venture.

I've always been the artist that sketches a lot, that sketches random things. I don't have a character to draw and I have little to no ideas of my own. I'm proud to say that I have been creating small characters here and there (example above) for myself and to show that I have the capability to do it.
