Updates coming soon! + Changing layout

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates lately—May was a very busy month for me. Between my trig final and the paper I had to write for my philosophy class, I had very little time to draw, much less scan and upload everything.
Now that I'm a couple weeks into summer, however, I should have more time :) I bought acrylics, good brushes, and a toned paper sketchbook earlier this month; I have some sketches and paintings that I am eager to share! I think I'm going to end up scanning everything today or later tonight, and hopefully I'll have a post up Wednesday.

On an entirely different note, I'm going to go ahead and change the layout of the blog. For whatever reason, the posts will sometimes display text as a thumbnail instead of the image. I don't know how to fix this, and I don't care to spend a ton of time remedying it, so I'm just changing the layout entirely.

House/yard painting

Digital painting of a photo of a house. I'm really going for displaying depth here, and I'm playing with colors quite a bit. Still a work in progress.

Digital. Started in January, still working on it now (April) 2013.

Color test

Color test of a sketch I've done on some aquaboard. I'll be painting the final in acrylic.

The brushwork here is so bad it's almost embarrassing. But that's okay, I guess, considering it's the first time I've painted in a week & it's just a color comp.

Digital colors/Traditional sketch. April 2013.

figure in charcoal

Live figure drawing from around August/September 2012. This was done in about an hour, I believe, in charcoal, red conte crayon, and white conte crayon.

color study

I don't like this one as much--the arm on our left looks so goofy. Anyway, this was created at the same time as the figure painting. It's a study of a painting by someone or another.. I can't remember who.

Traditional. August 2012.

figure painting

Can't believe I haven't posted this yet! This is a figure painting from August 2012. It was done in 2 hours in acrylic paints. It was the first figure painting I've ever done (although I've done numerous figure drawings outside of this).
Traditional. August 2012.
