Discussion, Module 3

Some artists whose work in color I really admire.

I love this artists work in watercolor and the way she makes her color combinations look so easy and colorful, but they still hold the picture together in a single mood.

I love this artist's use of a limited pallet. The top right and bottom images use only a few colors, but she  uses them skillfully to make the bright blues pop.

This artist is a favorite of mine, not just for her beautiful use of color, particularly compliments in these pictures, but her adorable unique style. The style of her characters and the playful colors make her pictures seem like something from a children's book. 

Assignment, Module 2

Journal, Module 2

Observations from my daily life.

Sketchbook

Digital Artwork

My initial concept for this was a pair of rulers who have suffered to try and do the best thing for their people, but still feel like they failed them and are ashamed of that. I wanted to create a sense of uneasiness both with the people in the picture being uneasy and trying to also share that feeling with the viewer.

Stylized self portrait

I love winter and it's my anticipation of winter that prompted this picture. I liked working with such a 2-D cutout like piece after so many paintings.

Concept for this was nightmares and the anxiety felt from them. Each image in the background is meant to be a typical fear like drowning, being laughed at by a large amount of people, or being forgotten.

This is some concept work for my senior project in school which will be an interactive digital picture book.

The short story is called Monochromatic and is set in a colorless world. It revolves around a girl who has the ability to restore the color to anything she touches.
