Intensity

I wanted to spend some time today getting acquainted with some new paint. These particular paints are an upgrade from the student-grade watercolor I was using. With just a flat brush and a little time, I was able to achieve some really great effects (the washes could have used a little more water to prevent them from showing the strokes).

The new(ish) scanner allows me to scan the image and make adjustments to the brightness and saturation of my colors. I can see some possible combinations of watercolor and vector graphics on the horizon.

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.

Ferret

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!
