Koi Dreams
Tools:
Pencil (Initial sketch), Photoshop CS4
WIPs:
I'm also working on a book dummy of Hans Christian Andersen's Princess and the Pea for class and here are some characters from that project! These are some nice princesses the prince meets early on. In my version of the story though, he likes them! Unfortunately they fail the pea test :( and he marries a chubby, snotty princess at the end. I'll have to thank my friend Pétur for giving me some great ideas in varying them up while I was designing these. They would've looked totally boring otherwise.
Princesses! (work in progress)
Haven't been sketching as much as I'd like to in the past month, but here are some that managed to come out looking quite alright.
Some quick gestures (pen and markers)
Randomly random randomness
And... more school work stuff!
Oil studies
First Venture (digital)
Valentine's Day mailer (reworked)
Children's Book Illustration class is such a joy to be part of! My classmates surprise my every week with their creativity and Angela's such wonderful and dedicated teacher. She has helped me a great deal with some of the pieces here. If you go to the Academy and are interested in children's books at all, I highly (highly, highly x10) recommend her class.
I hope all's well with everyone!
omg too niceeee. i missed you!

ReplyDeleteI love all of your work so much, especially the valentine's card and "Koi Dreams." I taped the postcard you gave me on the wall near my desk!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelley, it was great meeting you that day! My postcard feels happy to be on your wall. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful work
ReplyDeleteThose oils are really great! Would love to see more of your work :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I forgot to post earlier, things have been rather hectic for me. You asked what I've been up to. I guess the main thing is that I had a baby, who as you can imagine takes up most of my time :) Furthermore I'll be moving to San Francisco at the beginning of next year. At this rate I may end up giving you prints in person!
