Marchesa Fall 2012

Hey Friends!
Well i'm so so so so happy to finally be posting this painting!
It took about 2-3 weeks to do.
Which is way longer than i thought it would take.
I used Pencil, Pen, Color Pencil, Ink, Water Color, and Oil Paint.
The clothes in the painting are from Marchesa's beautiful Fall 2012 collection.

So the concept for the painting...
As you all know, my brother and I have been working on writing a story book.
Since the book isn't done, i can't really share much from it...
I thought i could start doing paintings from the stories and start introducing you to the characters.
This painting is of a character named Josette Halirk. She is a Princess.
She technically isn't in the book we are writing right now, cause she is just a little kid when our first book takes place.
I used model Mona Johannesson as a face reference. For some reason, i feel like Mona's look really fits perfectly how i picture Josette. I really hope you like the painting.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello Friends!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Sorry for the massive absence from blogging.
When the new year came around, I made a New Year's resolution to really improve in my drawing and painting over this next year. I've been practicing drawing a lot, and have been working on my fundamentals, also working to improve on some of the weaknesses I have in drawing and painting. I will be posting some new work soon, and hopefully you will start seeing a difference. :)

Also, my brother and I have been working a lot more on the story book we are writing. The painting today is actually a scene out of the story. The characters names are Samuel Percy and Elizabeth Finn (aka Lil Finn). I hope you like it, and I hope you're having a great Valentine's Day. :)

I hope you like it!

Oil Painting - Sneak Peak

Well, it's finally here!
Just a little sneak peak of that oil painting I was working on.
I worked alot on it today and still have a few more days of work to go.
It's been a good learning experience, so far.
I'm really excited to finish this thing up.
What do you think?
I hope you are all well : )

Story Book Concept Drawing - Tom's House

Hi, everyone!
How are you?! : )
As I mentioned, I've been oil painting a lot lately and really enjoying it.
I think the painting is starting to take shape now, and I'm getting excited about it.
Hopefully it will turn out cool and I'll have something fun
to share with you! Also, I might have a new video coming soon.
So my friend Carolina and I have always talked about building a giant tree house,
and I decided to design one! Haha This is my drawing of it. I hope you like it!

P.S. this is pretty much my dream home ;)
