Krist loves cake

 

This piece made me realize a lot of things. One: Painting with acrylics on paper just does not work. Two: I just really don't like painting. And with the senior ex shows going on it made me think a lot about my senior ex. I've always had a good idea on what I wanted to do and I always thought I'd want to do my series in paint, but I'm starting to rethink that. I think I'd actually want to do it in Photoshop. You can get similar effects without the messiness of real paint.

Krist is a model

 

This drawing started out as just a doodle I was doing while bored at the airport. I realized it was turning out really well despite the fact that I didn't block it out or use any guidlines. Also I was using pen so I couldn't erase anything. This all seemed to contribute to the piece. I realized that I much better at portraits when I just wing it so I want to do more realistic portraits using this method.
