First Blog!

Alright, well this is going to be a blog about my life in general- anything and everything that is going on will be blogged about, unless I fall behind in life and wish to catch up on that before posting a new blog.

My recent crafty-work, social activities, school, art, interests, new recipes to cook, events, random blurbs that I feel like posting- anything to keep me on track and up to date, as well as share my lovely life with you! I'm going to focus on the positives, though, and try to hone in on my crafts, art, and any other inspirational things going on in my life.

For my first blog I would like to show you some of the artwork that I have been doing. Sadly, it has not been on my own time, which I am currently rather lacking, but for my classes.

This was an asassignment to illustrate an article about men saving their hair for later use as a toupee when they begin to loose their hair. The article was called "Saving for a Rainy Day". Done with dip pen and watercolor.




This illustration was another assignment to illustrate an article with facts about women and heart disease. The line art is done digitally and the watercolor background is done, well, with watercolor, taken into photoshop and added a few textures, as well as changed the colors slightly.














This was my most recent assignment- to illustrate the cover of Money Magazine, specifically an article dealing with the resurgence of "Main St." in small towns. This is done completely digitally, and honestly started out as my comp sketch to figure out linework, value, ect. But everyone loved it, so I continued working on it and this is what I turned in.







So that's a lot of my art so far. I will have pictures of a newly completed Hufflepuff Scarf that I have been working on for the past 3-4 weeks soon, and I'll explain about it then. I'll also, hopefully, have another illustration soon. For now, that is all.
