girls girls girls

Woops, the fixative sort of killed it. I lost all my light tones and was so pissed that I eventually convinced myself "it looks better now anyhow."
Added some white details to make it eerie in a paintings-from-a-haunted-mansion kinda way.

My Bottom Bitches

Ive decided to finish a picture thats been haunting my room the past four months.
The plan was to do a series of uncomfortable portraits;
these were some of the gems i was ambitious enough to start in august but never finish..



Expect a nice scanned version after Ive picked at it a little more and am able to successfully sneak into the Pratt classrooms.
For the most part its complete and my only regret is not making the girls slightly more skewed and grotesque. would have been charming.

i dunno what

Done this one up the other day. Its chalk pastel and pencil of I don't know what. The first is a photo and the second is the image scanned. Its all mismatched because the scan took forever and I gave up,
although, I sort of like the messed up copy more.
I find my illustrations lack excitement and i need to work on that whether it be through different graphic elements or mistakes.

child star

found this great picture online. its totally creepy/wonderful and decided it'd be really good to use with chalk pastels.
picking it up again made me realize how i use to actually like pastels. probably will try my hand with them in a few more portraits and a watercolor mixed media painting.
