Narrative Figure-First assignment

We were assigned to do a self portrait for our first project. Its hard to look at even now, because I'm learning much more about color and oil handling and my newest painting is so much stronger, but I think its important to have it here, just to see where I've come from

Progress and Scribbles! Thank you very Much(a)!

Been working on some stuff vaguely in the style of Art Nouveau and Alphonse Mucha. The bottom piece is a just a drawing from class... the Top piece is the first 4 hours of my newest narrative figure piece! Oil and I are finally starting to get along!

Figure Drawing

I have two figure drawing classes this semester- Figure II and Narrative Figure... both on the same day! These pieces are from my Figure Drawing II course, which builds off our first figure drawing course and focuses on expressive line and markmaking.

First post!

Welcome to my art blog! I promised myself I'd start one of these up this year...

I'm currently a junior at NHIA, majoring in illustration, with a strong interest in fantasy art. I also work as a seamstress and costume designer in my spare time.

This blog will showcase a little bit of everything! Let the uploading begin!
