Computer Watercolors

These are awful. I wish I had spent less time on them.

5x7 Watercolor/Line

These were not so fun, mainly because of my issues with the new paper. I wish I had been more expressive, but I was busy being disappointed that my colors didn't look as cool as before.

Paper Angst

Oh my goodness. I ran out of watercolor paper, so I bought a new pad at Walmart and started work on the next assignment. I had no idea how much I owed to my Strathmore watercolor paper! This Canson stuff is so different!

5x7 Watercolor - Architecture

These were fun, again, but I didn't get a large percentage of good ones.

Creepy house in La Plata - It might look cute in the illustration,
but in reality I think Boo Radley lives there.

5x7 Watercolors

Ten of them! These were really fun, actually. I've probably got a long way to go to get things to look realistic, but for now I just like making cool watercolor-y effects.

This is my favorite, I think - a view from my dorm room
window freshman year. The light was actually that color!



Uhh, that was one of the first ones.

8x10 Line Drawings

Here are my two final drawings. I have a feeling we're about to put watercolor washes on them.....






Pen Tablet Drawings

In which I learn to use my Bamboo Fun tablet without having installed it correctly (or something).

This was from an old photo my parents took in Colorado.
