Drawing Final and other stuff from that class!

Sorry I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, I kept telling myself I needed to but things kept getting in the way. Bleh, you know how life is. That aside, here is a pic of me and my Pin-Up-Princess.

My hair is unruly, try not to mind it.
Here is the final image:
She's a mixed media piece done with charcoal (body) Marker (base color of the face) conte crayon (everything else) and a black pen (the stitch outline, eyes outline and the tatts on her leg). I drew her while sick, sneezing everywhere! What a mess, and all the dust made me sneeze more! But it was worth it.

She got good reviews in the final critic. A lot of people liked her and her style. Some were reminded of The Nightmare Before Christmas, due to her stitching, and others thought her a tad morbid, but lovely non the less. The background pulled the eye in and her colors really added to this. I was so happy!

I also ended up getting an A in the class, but it isn't hard to get good grades in an art class as long as you do the work and try your best. ^^

Here are a few more things from that class: Pin-up-close-up.
My cell phone, my sharpener, and a pair of ear buds done in conte crayon.
A plant and one of the light fixtures done in ink and coffee. Yum. Simple cross hatching of a paper bad and a shoe.

I'll have a few more pics to show soon. I'm currently trying to do a few portraits to keep in practice during the winter. (I don't have art during winter, boo-hoo.) So keep an eye out for that. ^^

Drawing Final W.I.P. 3

Update! Update! here she is so far! What do you think? Better or worse? I think the face is worse, but the leg still bad, but not worse, just different. lol ^^'

Welp, I took her outside and put some workable fixative on it. I'll work on the background for a few then pick it back up to finish. ^^' I have such a cold, man, it's not even cute. Worse off, some guys are fixing an apartment downstairs and one of em's like my age, therefore I was embarrassed. Oh well.

Life goes on!

Drawing Final W.I.P. 2

Well here is one day's work:

She's coming along well considering that most of the day went into making that damn grid. (ugh) She actually has some depth and this is new and amazing to me! I'm very excited!

And yeah, I messed up one leg and will have to repair it, along with her face, in the morning. But look! She has hair!

I think I can finish up, cut it out and paste it to a clean sheet as I plan, by 2:30. That's allmost a full day of school! lol ^^'

I hope I hope I can do this on time. CURSE YOU COLD! CURSE YOU! I was sneezing sooo much! It was hard to draw between sneez fits. Also I think I inhaled too much dust. A little worried but I'll be fine.

Let's see how this baby turns out tomarrow!

(If I wake up on time.... LET'S HOPE!)

Drawing Final W.I.P. 1

Ta-DA! It's a mess isn't it? Well this is what I have so far. I blame my lazzy self plus a cold on it's slow crummy progress. Eventually this will be a Day Of The Dead pin-up girl.

Lesson of the day: Do not layer Markers and Charcoal and Pastel. It won't blend smoothly.

On the plus side, I do think I can have this done on time!

I have less classes for the fall, so I shouldn't have any more last second project rushes. Heh.
