2D Mannequin Assignment

An assignment for 2D Design class featuring two thug mannequins robbing a little old granny mannequin. I tried to focus on value and composition for the most part. I also distorted the mannequins' bodies just for fun. Used a black pen for the line drawing and charcoal pencils for the value drawing.

Acrylic Still Life

For Paint & Color Theory homework I had to create my own still life that would convey meaning or mood or a theme and it had to have a color scheme (my color scheme fail'd lawl. I meant for it to be red and green). I can't say it has real deep meaning uh... it's some toy army men, the main one missing its head and arms, facing off against lizard and tiger toys. Truthfully I just wanted to take a shot at tenebrism again. Looking back I'm not so sure my last attempt at tenebrism was too successful http://moconfer.blogspot.com/2009/06/raghavan-portrait.html

adsklgjhf;g I love tenebrism fyi. When I have time I want to expirement with light and dark some more.

Fall Still Life

Did this here painting fer Paint & Color Theory class. This is the first time I've done a glaze painting (basically layering paint that's been thinned down with medium onto a nuetral underpainting or something). I have mixed feelings about how it turned out.

Still Life with Boots

Just as the title says its a still life with boots in it. Done for Paint & Color Theory class with a limited palette.

Scrrrrooge McDuck

Felt compelled to paint this Disney character randomly. I have a feeling that making these little oil cut outs is gonna become really addictive really fast. I'm already making plans to make more ha ha.

Dorm Door Decoration

So I'm on my fifth week at CCAD and while its pretty stressful I'm still having a good time and enjoying my classes. There are so many lessons and concepts for us to remember I keep losing track of them all! Maybe I should just make a list and write down all these points my teachers want me to remember.

Anyway in the dorm some of the other kids have been hanging up decorations or making some cool name tags for their doors. I wanted to do something for our door too and so I bought some canvas paper from the school's supply store and painted up this fella, cut him out, and slapped him on my door. (: I figured since I love silly looking characters and I also love oil paint those would be the best elements to incorporate into my decoration and to describe myself with.

Birds

I remember these two pieces that I did Junior and Senior year and thought I ought to post 'em for those who haven't seen them. Click to view in full.
