(2019) SB 17_8, 9, and 11 Edits

Hello and Happy New Year!  Here are some more of my sketches for Head Rendering.  I edited the heck out of them to try to make them more interesting...I don't know, are they fun to look at?

(2019) SB 17_1 of 100

The semester is over.  In between breathing great sighs of relief and sleeping, I managed to scan and edit some of my favorite drawings that I did for my Head Rendering class.  It's only portraits from here on out.

(2019) SB 13_Smiley Self Portrait

Quick little colored version of sketch from my last sketchbook.  I am very, very happy to be back at school.  

(2019) SB 13_Serious

Color or plain sketch?

(2019) Peter Pan Redesign

I've been reading a lot of faerie books lately, and I keep thinking about Peter Pan as some kind of fae, stealing girls away to Fairyland, and not returning them for years and years.  

(2019) SB 13_Kiss

I'm back and my drawing titles are as unoriginal as ever. 

(2019) Jude with Roses (Folk of the Air)

Oh, it's really been a while since the last time I posted.  Between finals and my summer trip, I lost all drawing motivation, but I'm back!  This is Jude from Holly Black's Folk of the Air book series.  I'm obsessed. 

(2019) I Think I Had a Best Friend (Teen Wolf)

Sorry for not posting very often lately!  The end of the semester is upon us, and my motivation is nowhere to be found.

(2019) Toddler Luke and Leia (Star Wars)

Another drawing that I've had planned out for 4ish years.  Yikes.  But it's finished now!!  

(2019) Sad Self Portrait

Some days are just like that.  

(2019) Gansey and Ronan (The Raven Cycle)

I honestly couldn't tell you what's going on with the paint blending.  BUT I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Gansey and Ronan's relationship is the most important. 

(2019) Call Me Slut One More Time (Riverdale)

This may have been the last time I actually liked Veronica, but that's beside the point.

(2019) Headshot Self Portrait 

Aaaaand I finally finished the self portrait I was working on for a new profile pic.  

Alright, that's it for now.  Your welcome, though for bringing such gorgeous works of art into your life.  I mean, really. 

(2019) Crystal Reed Portrait

I am on a freaking portraiture ROLL.

(2019) Dylan O'Brien Portrait Attempt 2

I'm not showing you the first attempt; too embarrassing.  You'll just have to trust me that this second one is a big improvement.  

The left eye is a bit off and the lighting's a little creepy, but I still love this drawing.  He's so heckin' cute. 

(2019) Scared Ed (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Yet another Ed.  I may never stop drawing him, actually. 

(2019) American Boy (Glee)

Another work in progress that was in progress for a number of years...in fact, Photoshop updated before I finished this one, so I had to figure out how to create a watercolor-esque brush since the brushes all changed with the update!  Fun!!

(2019) Sleepy Sep (Septimus Heap)
It's finally Spring Break and I have so much to post and so much time to post, so here we go.  For reference, the bottom image is my sketch for the concept, originally done in...2014, I think?  So I'm not the best at actually finishing projects in a timely manner, but would you just look at that progress!!?

(2019) Lucy and Lockwood Vertical Doodles (Lockwood and Co)

Colored up these little drawings I did in one of my school notebooks.  She's so in love with him, wow.

(2019) Percy in Gym Clothes (Percy Jackson)

Drew my favorite boy in one of my favorite parts of Sea of Monsters, which is actually my favorite book in the series!  I really love how this one turned out.  I just really like drawing Percy.
