Another watercolor piece.

I did this a few months ago when I was taking a class and trying to learn watercolor. It's the same class where the previous piece I posted came from. Watercolor was definitely a struggle for me, and I'm not sure I'll ever get into it again. Which is a shame because it looks like a great medium. At this point in time it's not where I want to lend my focus to though. As for this piece, I'm not too thrilled about it, but I thought I would post it because it's one of the two I kind of liked that I did in class. Whatever.

Haven't posted in a while, but here is something.

I really need to do a better job of keeping this updated. At least a couple of times per month. Even if I have one follower, it's still important to keep the ball moving. In any case, here is a sketch I did of Hong Kong movie star Gong Li. I tried to go with a comic book style (since that is what I want to gravitate towards overall as a career path) rendition. Doesn't look like her that much, but whatever. I got tired of working on it and unfortunately I'm not at the level yet where I can do good likenesses of people in comic-form. Trying to follow in the footsteps of David Finch...but it's hard work. Aside from the anatomy issues I think I overworked her hair. I really need to change the way I render. Maybe more of a pure scribble instead of lines in the same direction. Cleaned it up in photoshop (which was hurtful to my ego).This is actually a portfolio piece for my Chinese-speaking class. Hopefully my teacher finds it interesting.
