I painted this last month, but kept forgetting to upload it. This was based on a photo I took while hiking in Connemara National Park in Ireland a few years ago. I actually took this photo with the intent to paint it someday! I’m pretty happy with it. I’m really enjoying the imperfect impressions watercolor yields.
I need a scanner or something. The photo isn’t even close to what this looks like on real life; her cheeks are supposed to be NEON! harumph.
I really need to get a scanner. These photos never do my work justice. I mean just look at the color of the paper here! Does that look white? Sigh. I even tried to color-correct in PS too, but obviously did a half-assed job.
The title is “Hey Julie” because I had that song from Scrubs stuck in my head the entire time I did this.
I don’t think my watercolor skills are particularly strong, so I’m trying to improve. I am actually really happy with this piece, especially the mouth area.
First thing done in my new! Studio! (Room in my new house). I’m happy with it, but still not where I want to be. Like anything… Practice.
Been doing a lot of sketches lately, nothing great to share. But I kind of liked this, even if I look like an old lady. Based off of a photo I took of myself.
I had entirely different plans for this, but sometimes drawings tell you what they want to be as you go. This is good practice. I’m happy today. Although, now I super need to go to bed.
Its nice to know I haven’t completely lost my touch. I love the lips, I’m really happy with how those turned out, but I might want the eyes to be slightly different. Oh well. This was a rough sketch. Took me forever to troubleshoot my Cintiq on the Windows desktop, but it was worth it. The sketch itself took me…less than an hour?
Just a little sketch. Rusty.
