World Record

I absolutely love this one!!! At first I wasn't thrilled about illustrating a world record because I thought it was stupid but I think this turned out great!  It's simple but effective and I got to utilize line art and water color, which is apparently the only thing that I can do well.

Final Art

The Number 9

DEXTER!  WOO HOO! I really enjoyed doing this one and I think it turned out great.  Water color and line art is my thing so I am definitely gonna ride that for as long as I can keep it successful!

3 Image Gouache

This turned out ok.  I didn't get the final in on time, but now that I'm used to how theses projects are gonna go I will be more diligent.  It turned out a little yellow, but that is probably because I couldn't take the photo in natural light (sucky KVegas weather!).  

Midterm Portfolio-#7 (open category)

Well, out of the limited number of things I got approved, I knew I wanted to include them all in my portfolio....and the only other one that was left was my Truman line art illustration.  I am actually really proud of this one.  It has a lot of detail, the trees look cool, and I also got this one approved on the first pass!

Midterm Portfolio-#6 (Product Illustration)

I got my line art product illustration approved on the first pass, so I naturally included it over my watercolor one.

Midterm Portfolio-#5 (best Facebook illustration)

I got both of my Facebook illustrations approved and I wanted to include them both.  I put my other Facebook illustration in my with my watercolors, so I put this one in this category.

Midterm Portfolio-#4 (best digital)

I apparently liked the day I did the line art of my roommate's dog.  I chose this one because it was the best digital reproduction I did.

Midterm Portfolio-#3 (2 best line art and watercolor)

There was only one line art and watercolor combo that I thought was good enough to be in my portfolio.  I think it was just chance that it turned out OK.  The other piece I chose was a watercolor of a person that I later added line to.  Actually, I think the line really helped to define it and now it doesn't look half bad.

Midterm Portfolio-#2 (best 10-a-day watercolor and an optional watercolor)

I chose one of the watercolors I did when we had to do 5 people because it was one of the best ones I had.  In all honesty, I didn't put much effort into the 10-a-days because I knew they were going to suck, so why waste my time?  This one turned out OK, still not the best.  And then I chose my Facebook watercolor because it got approved.  And what better stuff to put on your portfolio than approved shit? :)

Midterm Portfolio-#1 (2 best line art 10-a-days)

I wanted to show the range of styles/mark making that I experimented with.  The one of the chihuahua shows a more "sketchy" style.  It was done very quickly with lots of expressive marks.  The Windex shows a more deliberate line and high contrast.

Attempt One-Gouache

It turned out OK.  Could use some more value structure.

Revised and FINALLY approved Facebook pic

YAY!  Much better :)  And loooook...it's huge!!!
