"The War"

So, this is a color version of the black and white rendering that I did for my 113A class. I scanned it in so, I guess the quality is not really up to par to the real painting. This took a week to do and was done in acrylic. The palette that I used is supposed to be 50% saturation. Meaning, all the colors are supposed to be desaturated and look grey-ish.

Secret Santa :)

My Secret Santa turned out to be Race Oswald!!

He made me this cool illustration, inspired by a song that I chose, called "Sweet Pea" by Amos Lee.

It's so awesome and I like it a LOT!

Thanks Race :)

Awesome Illustration by my art friend, Race Oswald!!

Thanks Race ! : )

This is what I made for Jasmine Ho as I'm her Secret Santa. I know a lot of stuff are off, but, I feel that I've somewhat improved over the semester and understand painting more since I've taken 113A. And overall, this was really fun to paint!

The painting is inspired by the song "Ragged Wood" by Fleet Foxes :)

Did this illustration for a secret santa event. I know a lot of stuff are off, but, I feel that I've somewhat improved over the semester and understand painting more since I've taken 113A.

猫のありがとう "Neko no Arigatou"

This was a design I did for Hella Thanks! Kinokuniya Gift card Competition. The winner will get their work PRINTED as gift cards for the Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya all over the nation!!

Hand drawn everything in photoshop and created the texture in PS as well.

I decided to do a simple drawing of a cat holding these bunch of balloons with "ありがとう” or "Arigatou" on it. Meaning "Thank you" in Japanese. :) Wanted the kind of children-like drawing feel into it.

It was really fun to do. :)

Still Life Project - 113A

So,,, I tried shooting my reference for my still life painting project..

Still not satisfied with what I have right now, but, will try to get better lighting and possibly composition tomorrow. :)

Black and White Egg Painting - start

Final Result on Illustration Board

Initial Sketch

We started egg painting in acrylic today in class. So, this is my egg lay in today. THinking of starting a new one after I finish with this.

So, I decided to do the final on illustration board..here it is: I think I spent too much time on this.. took me like 9 hours...T__T Kept on messing up..

Note to self:

- core is too dark...

- problem with reflected light

- stop overworking on a piece @_@
