Mixed bag


Starting to paint things more regularly! Stuff from the past 2 weeks.






Ornithology assignment Parts A and B

Part A: Bird Topography  
My illustrator files seem to be getting absurdly huge. O_O


Part B:  Wing Feather arrangement


Le Hawks were so cool!  Too bad we didn't get an owl or something equally exotic this year.

Sketch dump

Sketches from hawk visits last week + ROM trip




sheathbill   

Used blue pencil but somehow it became a really light grey when scanned.. so some surgery was needed.

ruffed grouse

Harris hawk


Red-tailed Hawk



FACES! Which I haven't done in a long time.. I think I drew them too generic-ish. Yes I hate black conte.


Painting uses too much brain.  Shape + colour study. Failed composition + chopping of limbs , thanks for the crit~   I'm only pleased with the legs.  :C

couple of last week's LDs

 Me foot is off.  It looks like it needs to be bigger, but I can't show it turning.



Not so much observing as it is design? Or changing from observation to design.

first post of 2012

...2012.   I'm dreading this year. Not because of some Mayan prediction.  Some paint sketches I did to warm up after not painting for a long time.



Skyrim influence. It's now locked away where I can't touch it.
