Illustration Friday : Puzzled

Stained Glass puzzle piece.
Did you know that there is nanotechnology involved with stained glass. The elements that are put in with the glass are finely crushed into to different sizes of nano particles to create different colors. What is so puzzling is that this was a popular art form in the medieval times before we knew anything about nano particles.
 I just recently found out about the mix brush tool in photoshop and wanted to get some practice with this piece.

Illustration Friday: Shades

This week I ran out of time quite literally. I have been awake for basically 40 hours with a 1 hour nap. Anyways I still was able to get some sketches done for this week while I was at work. I did a rough pen drawing and added a vintage wall paper print from Lost and Taken.

This first one is the one I decided to go with but I will add my other sketches to show my other ideas.

Illustration Friday: Intention

So viewing other illustration friday works I decided to try adding a line that makes it fit the topic. I also tried using the pointillism brush in photoshop and went a more children's art style.

Alice had every intention of squishing the scorpion.
However she noticed he had a grandfather like face.
Grandfather scorpion on the other hand had the intention to sting.

Illustration Friday: Capable

The theme for Illustration friday this week was capable. I wanted to do water color again and have always been influenced by the sciences. In fact I was going to be an engineer, but once I got to Calc I, I decided I didn't want to do this with the rest of my life. Don't get me wrong I love math and I'm really actually good at it (in fact I have 11 credits of Math I earned before even getting to college). I just fell in love with animation and didn't go on to become an engineer. Anyways here is my submission.

Illustration Friday: Fluid

So this week my class did Illustration Friday and the theme was fluid.
I decided with the theme I should try doing watercolor. This is my first water color attempt. Actually I used gouache and just watered it down to work more like a watercolor, and some water color pencils too.

Check out Diann Malcom's too she painted along with me.
