One more day!!! Absolutely recommend this exhibition
My class’s graduation show will open on the 31st, if you’re at RISD please come and take a look! Several new paintings will be shown for the first time ❤️
This is a piece I made a while ago to hype myself up for the upcoming semester.
“Inheriting the Outlier”
Process below(I hope I’m doing this right)
Anyways here is my recent school work
72x 48inches
Will be making one more, bigger drawing then i’m done for the semester:)
Do you have any prints for sale? Your artwork is amazing!
Yes!!! I had the shop closed during semesters but I’ll have it open over the break:)
Love the frames and expression!! I really love works with mechanical gimmicks(hard to articulate), very inspiring!
Finally realized that reblogs are important for this site, will do more from now:)
one last TSWWL post before i seriously lock in
process GIF & alternative color combos just in case the red & teal won't mix well... lowkey i think the gold would eat on real paper but let me know what you guys think
Wings of Freedom
Went for a more experimental direction
About growing up and being released into society
“Just a Sunny Day”
I’d say this is 95% finished, but I wanted to post it somewhere so I’ll post it here.
Please let me know what you see!!
Some pen(traditional/digital) drawings
first of all thank you so much for coming to tumblr, i love seeing ur art on my dash‘‘‘ its such a treat!!!
secondly, I am curious about the process of creating your artwork? do you have a finished piece in your mind and work towards that
or does the piece just develop while you’re drawing?
(if u dont mind sharing ofc!)
Anyways, I just wanted to say that your art is rlly unique and hauntingly beautiful<333
Thank you for the compliment and thanks for asking!! I’m still exploring in terms of my processes, but I tend to decide almost everything in the rough draft/sketching!
I first do “rough-sketching party”, where I doodle as many ideas as possible:
Then, I pick an idea, and refine them. Often creating multiple versions, with different compositions and different color schemes(not for this one though.) These are WIPS of pieces I’m eventually going to work on:
I kinda often draw too much for my rough drafts, but rough drafts is where I can play around with the concepts/colors/compositions the most, so I don’t feel too regretful in spending a lot of time in this phase. For an illustrator perspective, I see that this is very inefficient, so eventually I hope I find a way to make it faster. But for now, this works best for me to create works that I am satisfied with. With that said, I sometimes make pieces on the go, with only deciding what the main subject is. I might talk about those in the future when I post them. Again, thanks for asking!:)
Deep Sea
Process below(with some explanation(^-^))
For this piece I chose a more whimsical process where all I decided was the placement of the character and some basic compositions, without having anything in mind about what other objects I’m going draw, and what color I’m going to choose. I decided them as I blocked in more random shapes and seeing what they look like, eventually landing on a deep sea theme. It took way too much time but it’s a fun process and allowed me to use composition/colors that I normally wouldn’t use.
