Oi, it's colored?

Yeah, I did something colored this time. I think I'm getting the hang of coloring, too. I'm not really sure why I drew a girl who was in a garden, though. I think I'm drawing people like this because I'm back to playing WoW again, that's probably it.
Anyway, this picture didn't take to long to do, about an hour or so. I just finished it. I colored it with a combination of Copics and Prismas, I used Prismas on the skin and hair, and Copics on the rest.

Personally, I think the hair could look much better. I should have used Copics to color it, because the Prismas killed the detail.

Anyway, I'm really not sure what I'll do with this later on, if I add I background or not. It's more for the coloring practice and to keep me drawing every day I can, no matter what.

Oh my.

You're probably a bit confused. What is this messy, grungy...THING?
I know, it looks like something I didn't do. Personally, that why I sort of like it. It's got more the feel of a good design, opposed to some picture of a person that looks a little wonky and just like everything else I draw, ever.
Also? It's ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE ART. It actually looks like something framing worthy.
On the other hand, it's looks pretty freakin' bizarre. (By the way, the face is centered, but my scanner cut it off. Boo hoo.)
And I'm having second thoughts about the OBEY on it. Kinda too Andre the Giant, yeah?


Well, to explain why this exists in the first place, it was an assignment. I had to draw myself without looking at the paper (blind contour), and use an ink-glue mixture to trace it. Once we finished that, we took watercolors and colored it however the heck we wanted. I tried for a gradient thing going on, buuuuuuut.
Oh, and by the way, summer is officially here, so I should be drawing/creating and then blogging about it more!

So.

Just another thing I drew while I had a million other things to do, don't mind me. It's inspired by Alfonse Mucha. I really am not digging the neck. And I'd like to work on the form of the hair to make it flow better in a more natural way.

Also, as a side note: I'm gonna see a movie called Exit Through the Gift Shop on Friday. It's gonna be about the popular street artist Bansky, others, and street art in general. I'm really excited. Here's a link to the site and trailer: http://www.banksyfilm.com/

It's at the Tivoli. I went there last Friday for Waking Sleeping Beauty and loved it. Cheaper than AMC, too!

Oh, lawdy, is dat sum new artz?

....Sorta. I mean, the one at the top is sorta old, for a comic I never went through with. The bottom one I made like JUST EFFING NOW and I don't even know why. I'm probably sick of studying. I've been doing so all week, but it's been paying off. ;^;

I don't know if I'll be using this blog much, but I like the idea of having something I can direct people to when they ask about my artwork, or whatever.

Also, AP, MAN. AP ART IS GONNA ROCK AND SUCK AT THE SAME TIME.
Or at least, that's my guess. I've been working on my summer stuff already.
There's an assignment where we have to alter an old book artistically (and preferably geared toward our portfolio), and I'm actually not dry for ideas. I'm hoping that my teacher won't mind the whimsy I'm gonna put on mine. Like, a Candy Land sorta feel. When I'm done with it, I'll be sure sure to post for some feedback!

I've begun the ten other summer assignments, too, which are less "OMG GET IT DONE NOW" priority. I mean, I'm still gonna get them done, but they're number 2.
Now, when I say I've begun...what I mean is I've circled the ones I think I can do well, and I've sketched one out. It's...a good sketch, though! 8D

Alright, I'm heading out. If you have any comments, thoughts, or suggestions, be free to tell me! Just click that comment button below!
