Moving onto the second week of my summer sketchbook project!

Catdragons (influenced by Maine coon cats and Luck Dragons from The NeverEnding Story) for the CCAD Summer Sketch Group project. 

Sketches inspired by the works of South African photographer Nontsikelelo Veleko.  

 

Gesture practice with Pixelovely. 

Finally some additional sketches including practice for the next CCAD Summer Sketch prompt, "Props." I'm planning to design a camel teapot for it!

Oscar Wilde in a sunflower crown for Styles & Concepts, created in ink and watercolors!

Spring Break Update #1

Spring break update! Starting off with Pixelovely studies created with a brush pen.

Also some quick environmet sketches completed in the CCAD supply closet, backyard, and local cafe.

For the last sketch, I was inspired by Anka Zhuravleva's The Circus photoset and stylized the models in marker and pen.

The Amazing Chastity Bra

"Come one, come all for the amazing Chastity Bra!!"

Ink editorial illustration for my Styles & Concepts class. I based it on Huffington Post's article about the The Love Tester Bra invented by men and marketed as "protection" against sexual assault.

Brushin' Up

Fiddled around with the felt brush pen and sketched more Jezibaba ideas, particularly her hands.

Some mo' Sketches

E. Nesbit's The Dragon Tamers

The dragon had purred till he was quite out of breath--so now he stopped, and as soon as everything was quiet the baby thought everyone must have settled for the night, and that it was time to begin to scream. So it began.
"Oh dear," said the dragon, "this is awful."
He patted the baby with his claw, but it screamed more than ever.
"And I am so tired, too," said the dragon. "I do so hope I should have a good night."

-E. Nesbit's The Dragon Tamers

 For Studio Concepts & Practices, our class was assigned to illustrate a story passage of choice. I always enjoyed reading stories involving well-behaved, non-menacing dragons and The Dragon Tamers was my first and final choice for the given project -- the most memorable scene being the iron-plated dragon watching the protagonist's infant child.

Using Higgins black ink, I began by washing my values in with Sumi-e brushes.  Lastly I finished with linework using dip quill and Sumi-e bamboo pens.
