Doodle-bobbin'

Actually updating! Hooray! Apologies for my severe lack, and my need to finish updating previous posts(Namely my thesis posts ugghhh). Super limited wifi connection at the campground, set up in a friend's hotel room currently.

In any case though, I have actually been productive the past few days, though this is the only piece I have I can currently show right now. Starting to think I should try purchasing a scanner... Anyways. Doodles of some lovely feather faces to get back into the swing of things :)

Various breeds of macaws and cockatoos, and voila! They have the prettiest colors... :)

Flower Girl Faeries

So I recently created a tumblr, and while I'm still working into actually using it, I have found some artistically inspiring images on it already. A friend had recently reposted some incredibly pretty flower petaled girl figures someone put together and photographed, and when I saw them I decided to paint some little flower faeries to match the girls.

You can find all the original photos from Elsa Mora at her blog here. I'll post the images I based the drawings off of here too, so you can compare, but follow the above link to see the rest of the originals, they're quite lovely.

Plain ol' watercolor! :)

Tumblr 1 and 2

Skittles! Lovebirds!

Not really. Anyways. I'm trying out some different styles, and this piece is in the style(sort of) of Brittney Lee, who is phenomenal with cute things and birds and paper cutouts and just things in general. Definitely go give her a looksy!

In any case, the main idea for this piece was to try and push myself with color, and to try out a style that's outside of what I typically do. My initial idea had it being a lot more vividly colored, with a lot MORE colors, too, but I think I'm satisfied with how it came out.

Little lovebirds!

Adobe Illustrator. We Meet Again.

I decided to kick myself back into Adobe Illustrator, it feels like it's been ages since I used it, so I needed a refresher. I felt like a fish out of water through both of them, but I'm warming back up to the program. Slowly but surely. Yeah, something like that... Just two simple, flat little parrot vectors. Me and my birds, go figure. With a couple of tigers thrown in for good measure. :)
