Gouache-ing

Gouache practice sampling...

Just using complimentary blues and oranges...

Just oranges...

Just Blacks and White...

 

Awesome-Bot **In-Progress

I've been also working on a smaller/ shorter silkscreen book while working on my big Zephyr project.

It's gonna be like the Truce and Framed silkscreen books.

It will be printed on either recycled kraft paper or newsprint.

New Zephyr Book **in-progress**

     While procastinating and distracting myself with painting, this is the actual BIG project I'm working on. Another silkscreen book.

     This was supposed to be the third... the second is put on hold. And the first is now on sale at Desert Island NY and also, Recession Art Show Bookstore!

Fun with Gouache, Watercolors, and Markers (?!)

with Watercolor Pencils and watered down brown ink

I've been practicing with gouache and watercolors.
 

Markers. The NOT water proof kind.

They're a very cool medium, but still need practice on them!

Birds are the easiest to experiment cuz they're so colorful.

I was seeing how it worked with Pen and Ink. Watercolor pencils. Even markers.

     Also, testing out the different styles I can do with it. Like having no outlines... although the gouache was not opaque enough I think.

Collection of practice strokes

 
I definitely like it with Pen and Ink.

Even the "sketch" page was cool

Lemmings Project...

Done in Photoshop

   I have a really bad habit of constantly starting projects without finishing the previous... yikes. Well, here's another! Lemmings! A future silkscreen project... I think.

Done in Gouache... Trying it out

Based on, well... Lemmings. Still trying to figure out what colors to use and what medium to do it in.

Done with ink an aqua brush

I tested it out with photoshop, gouache, ink, and just plain 'ol sketching.

Sketch. Sketch. Sketch.

Ink Brush Figure Drawings

I did this in Tom Motley's Figure Drawing for Graphic Novelists class at SVA.

I used a water brush filled with a black/ blue fountain pen ink and water.

 It was a fun exercise from the usual pencil figure drawings.

 I'll post more figure drawings too.

 

Watercolor Barbarian

Another watercolor practice I did a few days ago...

'Done with cheap-o watercolors and aqua brushes.

Watercolor Experiment

   I've been testing out watercolors and aqua brushes, while working on my Character Designs... It's actually pretty fun. I haven't done watercolors since I was in highschool.

   I was using those cheap watercolors starter sets you get from craft stores.
