English Assignment

September 16, 2020

Something I did for gr10 english. Don't remember what for

Pen on paper

The Babs | Monarch

May 30, 2024 Time: 3:17

Finally got around to remaking character sheets for these guys. It's meant to be a colour reference sheet, but I'm tweaking their designs so that there's more distinction between the different charas

Played around with this guy's expressions a lot. I really really like how emotive the butterfly face can be

Masquerade

December 30, 2023 - January 4, 2024

Sketched/inked throughout winter break, painted during jan 4 paint night.

I had first thought up a piece like this years ago, and it was meant to be an illustration of what I imagine when I listen to Wriggle by Cosmo Sheldrake. I found it over the winter break and got inspired to make this. Didn't take a picture of the old concept, but the bird and the masquerade mask were both parts of it. And me using the red/yellow colour palette was me staying true to the og concept.

Took a scan of the lineart before colouring in the mask. Had to do it twice because the painting was too big for the scanner 🥲. Still need to splice together the two imgs to get the full piece as one scan.

The gold bits were painted on sometime sem2 year1 of uni (and after the end date listed above) but it was so little that I'm fine w the fake finish date.

I was planning on colouring the entire piece, but the mask in it of itself was annoying enough, and I thought it looked good w just that part coloured. I've asked around if people think it looks finished with how it is now, and most people say no 😭. I've gotten different suggestions for what to do to make it look more complete, but I don't really fw any of them (but I also think it looks does as is, so I'm not inclined to modify it at all in the first place).

The suggestions:

Colour the candelabra in blues to compliment the mask

Add shading to the rest of the obj

Microns, watercolour, acrylic paint and india ink on watercolour paper

Pan's Labyrinth | The Pale Man

My little cutie guy. I'm obsessed obsessed with him, have been since I first saw the movie way back when ✨

Used a slightly different style and didn't do fullbody because I couldn't find a pose--his head/hands are the main focus anyways

AAM Inktober Day 7: Supernova

October 7, 2024

Didn't want to do another night sky one since it'd be too close to the first day's drawing, so I did a character instead. Took inspiration of the characters some people made for the galaxy prompt

Made a tiny thumbnail for this one, too

Art Movements Assignment | Bald Eagle

September 9, 2022 - September 16, 2022

I spent so long working on this assignment at the beginning of the semester that my parents got concerned about me taking art when i should be studying to master my other classes 💀💔

Gr12 assignment where our teacher told us to all bring a random object to school (for unknown reasons), and then revealed that we're doing a project where we have to draw that object multiple times using 3 art movement styles.

Bottom-up the movements are:

German Expressionism

Cubism

Impressionism

Had a lot of fun making this. The german expressionism was a hoot, but I just love using inks. I hated doing the impressionism one, though. I just didn't like how it was turning out/turned out, and me and my teacher agree that it's not really an impressionistic style. They be using colours in crazy ways that I hadn't unlocked at the time.

Still Life Assignment

October 23, 2020 - November 6, 2020

Still life assignment done when school was half online-half offline. I remember my friend (who just took art to get the required arts credit) put vaseline over his camera so the teacher wouldn't be able to see that he hadn't done any work on his 💀

Had fun making this, didn't take too too long (relative to my other still lifes)

Pencil and charcoal on paper

Coraline | Cocoa Beetle

(from zanzibar)

Another quick lil guy. Last of my batch of trying to compensate for lost days in the 'make a drawing every day' goal.

Also the last of stickers in general for a while 💔

Painting of a cockatiel ❤️

I remember struggling to use the neon acrylic paints because they're really translucent and only show up well on a white base.

Top two: ~April 10, 2020

Bottom two: ~January 2-5, 2021

I think top left was created for a gr9 sketchbook assignment. Not 100% sure, though. The rest followed as me just wanting to explore the style and theme.
