Finally a watercolor piece up here.

This is a piece I did for my Illustration 2 class. It was supposed to be a shopping bag design. My topic was women's shoes, although I did receive a little backlash from some folks about the composition. Used some photo reference reference for this one...seeing as I can't come up with that pose straight out of my head and feel good about it. I enjoyed doing this piece a lot. And it's not due to the nature of the illustration. I felt comfortable and in control with my water color application. It was a good experience. Of course my girlfriend did have some insight, so that helped also. My teacher liked it I think, but also said I should have more value contrast and punch up some of the background colors to make them more vibrant. I might scan this in later because it doesn't look that great seeing as this photo is from a digital camera.

Might as well add this.

Nothing much to see here. Just a sketch I did for a language class I'm taking that want some cultural substance. If you hadn't noticed, the class I'm taking is Chinese. So I did some historical inspired drawings here. I would like to revisit the story of Hua Mulan again and do some work on that. It was kind of fun looking into the backstory.
