Everyone, check out Audrey Kawasaki. I Promise you wont be disappointed, she is truly a queen of her craft. Even though our styles aren't the least bit similar, it inspired me to work with oils for my Society of Illustrators piece.

 

Here's a look into my current project for the Society of Illustrators student competition. As you can see its changed quit a bit since the original sketch. Ill be posting the final product on Wednesday, so check back in.

Alright, so it did change quit a bit. The plan for this one to use pencil as an under painting then work it up with oil glazes. I should be started on the penciling precess within the week and I'll be posting updates on those quite frequently.

Here's an update on my current project. It should be the last of my revisions before going to a final product.

Thumb nail for upcoming project.

 

What your seeing here is a test I decided to do before going to a final product. What I wanted to do was see if a pencil drawing could replace a black and white under painting. I was hoping that the values of the pencil drawing would be strong enough to show through the oil glazes. Hopefully this would eliminate most of the work involved in an oil painting, but still leave you with a similar product. For the actual step by step check in weekly while I work on my next piece.

Unfortunately, my card was not picked as the Pennsylvania College of Art &Design's Thank you mailer. But, I wish the best of luck to the six finalist. May the best card win.

Older work

Piece I did a while back when I first started getting into watercolor. Had a lot of fun doing it.

collaboration

Worked on a comic cover for a friend and fellow artist Nick Velardi during a 24 hour comic event. I spent a majority of the 24 hours working on other work so had a whopping 2 hours to collaborate,  draw, and paint the cover for ZUG.
