The Tell Tale Heart

Here's an illustration I did for class for Edgar Allen Poe's Tell Tale Heart, done with black and white pencil on a piece of 30% gray paper, below is some of the process work I did, including thumbnails and value studies.  I like the texturing I managed to get with the wood, it's definitely my normal type of illustration I do but it was definitely an interesting project.

Ouroborous, The Door to Eternal Life

 

Hey remember this guy? I've basically been sitting on this idea for a while and I'm glad to have finally been able to do a piece with it, hope you enjoy!

Oils!

So we started using oils this year!  We had two much smaller oils to do just to try out the medium before this painting, so in many respects this is my first oil overall i do like the medium, even though everything i hear about stuff from our teacher has come with the tag "this is probably toxic" This was a limited color palette still life with just black, white, and yellow ochre.

"Masquerade Project" Frost Giant

My first Illustration I project.  The project was called "masquerade" but he basically let us do anything with 2 or more characters since he wanted to just get to know our art style and what we like to do.  Below are the thumbnails/sketches that I did.  Who knows I might go into this again in photoshop and do a color piece.

Fish Ink Piece

Well, it's good to back at Ringling!  This was my first project for Illustration media, a class where we experiment with different kinds of media.  This project our assignment was to make a drawing of any kind of fish with pen and ink.
