Update on the textbook cover

I fixed some obvious flaws on my textbook cover.

Tell me what you think!

I also have the updated pipe piece that I need to get fixed. I painted over a portrait of Einstein and put a pipe in there, haha

Two Posts in One Day, but it's totally worth it.

So I have yet another project that I just finished.

I mean, finished isn't really the word for it. I am not content with the whole things but I do like the colors. I feel like the background needs some sort of texture, but I'm not sure.

Feedback? The text needs work too. Nothing like a nice boring oval.

Alright, I'm off to bed, at a lovely 3:03 am.

In other news, I miss my Mummy. :( For she is in Poland for two loooong weeks.

Sigh,

Love

ps,

I'm realizing that I can't open most of my projects up to a bigger size if I click on them. Is that an issue for you too?

HELP!

I'M A GOOD ARTIST WHO KNOWS THAT SHE'S DOING, I SWEAR!

New things!

I have been lax about posting! BAH!

New children's book piece that I sorta like.

It's done in ballpoint pen, and colored digitally.

To be quite honest I only like the pen drawing without the color. Oh well

The poem is about dreaming about flowers.

I will post the pen drawing once I get the file

Love,

A little more progress

Updated color version of the pictures in the last post.

So far...

For Topics we're creating high school binders for a certain subject.

I guess mine is a spin-off of science, morel like biology and anatomy.

We'll see.

I have a basic idea that I think will be very elegant.

So far, I have two sketches which will be colored in photoshop

and then I plan on adding flowers into the composition, and various scientific elements, e.i. beakers, insects, chemical symbols, alchemy symbols, etc.

Here are the two base sketches I have so far.

I'll post more with each level of progress. Whee skulls!

Children's Book Illustration - Imagination

This is for Monday,

I really think it turned out well, considering I started on the first one and totally hit the wall and gave up because it was UGLY.

So I started this one brand spanking new earlier this afternoon and it was TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Let me know what you think of my watercolor skills. This is the first illustration I have ever fully used watercolor.

Swingin' London and Christmas Music

So I just got the final worked out on this Tools of the Trade project about Swingin' London,

AND

I'M LISTENING TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

It's actually pretty nice.

I don't usually condone listening to Christmas music before the wintertime, but I actually like it very much.

The project above will most likely be fixed a bit before tomorrow.

Now I get do to another children's book illustration involving bright colored vegetables taking a nice hot soak in a stew pot.

Pipe Lover

Okay, it is finally DONE.
I'll probably tweak it a little, but in the meantime, I am calling it completely done.
Maybe 25-30 hours. Ugh, so tired.

Topics Illustration progress.

Ok, Topics is eating up my life and here is the progress to show for it.

I had a fun time blocking in the big colors for the shadows, but it required a lot of tape, and a lot of paint. The paper is astronomically heavier than it was before.

This is just a crappy photobooth picture,

but now I am working on putting the pictures on the wall, and getting the knick-knacks on the shelves.

I hope to have it done by tonight, and maybe work on it a little bit tomorrow just so I can put the finishing touches on it before it it due on Tuesday.

Love,

Mary
