Snow Day!


        This canvas is based off a scene outside my school's window that I found very entrancing. The sky was a light grey, and the bare trees looked black. The snow was falling quite heavily. I tried to create that snow with a technique called flicking, which I used for my miniature watercolor. The grey I used was mixed, but the black and white was not. I painted some snow onto the tops of branches to show the accumulation.

And now.....

        Hello, my friends! How is your break been? Mine is full of eraser shavings, books, and a day with cows (don't ask). I am going to fill you in on all that I have failed to post until now. Speaking of which, I apologize for keeping the suspense up, but with the end of the school year, and summer plans, I couldn't post regularly. Here are my new masterpieces.

How I Draw: Brown Hair

        In this How I Draw, I will explain the wizardry of hair. Hair, along with the face, is the most essential part of a portrait. Getting the right feel and depth is very precarious to do, but it isn't impossible. I will be showing the four basic hair colors in four posts.          This post will be for the most simplest of them all: brown hair. I know there are many shades of brown hair, but this will be for dark brown hair. For a darker and lighter shades, change the colors respectively.          The colors used for this project are: -Black                           -Dark Brown -Light Umber -Sienna Brown -Ginger Root           When drawing hair, you always want to go lightest to darkest, because hair is all about the layers. In this case, start by stroking in the Ginger Root, then use the arrays o...

A Surprise for Tanisha!

Image
        This canvas is a Christmas gift for my cousin Tanisha. I asked her questions, and used her favorite animal (unicorns) and her favorite colors (pink and purple) to create an acrylic canvas.          This picture depicts the silhouette of a unicorn rearing up. The spirals of her horn and her hooves are highlighted with silver acrylic, whereas the ground and the unicorn itself is black. The sky is a sunset, with the pink sky blending up to purple. I used white acrylic to create three four-point stars on top of her horn. I used a fan brush to create grass for the ground. Due to lighting, the horn and the stars are not clearly visible. I will get a better picture.
