Some kids

I recently got an internship at Carus Publishing in Chicago! (I start officially in a few days) As I was applying for the position and conversing with the art director, he asked me if I ever drew anything for younger audiences. After looking over my portfolio, panicking, and spending a night drawing these kids, I was able to tell him yes (or at least that I was capable of drawing a person younger than 15, kind of.)

Pride

I think Blogger might have clobbered the quality of this, but anyway - this was a poster illustration for my Lifestyles class. It was part of a diptych showing pride and humility (or superbia and humilitas in Latin). These ladies are a little too self-obsessed, but definitely more fun to draw then their humble counterparts.

Ginger

Just a little something - gouache and digital.

Paintings

Thought I would share these one-shots. Scanners are not kind to oil paint.

Style Buddies

This is an ongoing "paper doll" assignment for Lifestyle Illustration. The assignment was to draw three characters and dress them in designer clothes each week. Here are a few of mine.

Sketches

Just some things from my most recent sketchbook.

Portraits

Well what do you know - after an hour's worth of scanning I have some things to post. These are all from a monster portrait painting class I'm in; by monster I mean that it's 8 or more hours long, usually requires two paintings a week for homework and an in-class painting, and is 25% lecture. So. I have a few more things I'm going to put up but for Blogger's sake I'm going to upload in chunks.
