Beetlejuice

I saw that Shiyoon Kim was cutting it back on his line work to develop his colors with film studies. film studies and color have always been my favorite so i'm going to cut back on my line work and practice on my color. Shiyoon has me beat though, of course.

Confession

Yesterday I ran across a 16 year old artist who was completely amazing and had me feeling really insecure because i'm a freshman in college and everyone was admiring her and I was jealous. I curled into a ball and was asking for answers. Nothing came but I calmed down.The next day my painting teacher said she saw my tweets and that I am really good and ONLY a freshman in college and that the said girl may only be good with one thing where I am with several. I got back from class and saw that a friend of mine had an assignment to recreate a piece of art digitally. Hers was amazing. I decided to copy her idea of using a Leyendecker piece. It's my first time trying something not cartoony. It's not finished, but in my defense it's 1 am and i'm pretty proud of what I got done. I feel less insecure. Also Hayley's was better than mine but i'm happy for her and not jealous. I need to invest in a Cintiq because shitty bamboo tablets are shitty.

Blagh

I literally just learned how to blend in photoshop yesterday!!!! Like before i though people were just using mass amounts of gradients and layers but NO! Hello the mixing brush! Why am I so dumb? In order I learned with the Flint Lockwood drawing, then I quit it because I wanted to try and redraw one of my favorite pieces from the leaked concept art from Frozen, then the last one is a self portrait just for fun because I learn best with repetition. I did this all in a chair broke in half at the ass, so it's not comfortable.

Color study

Being in High School it's probably a good idea to get a head start on color. It probably took about 40 minutes. That's including layout and everything. I added a watercolor texture to the second one. I couldn't decide which i liked more.
