Challenge the Possibilities

Image
        One of my friends from school requested me to draw them a mascot and motto. I drew her a phoenix with it's wings spread, with the motto on top. The phoenix is a mythical bird that rises up from the ashes of the phoenix before. It is originally from Greek mythology. The phoenix is colored with a red, orange, yellow, and gold color pencil. The motto uses a black ultra-thin Sharpie, and a gold and silver color pencils. I am glad to say that the picture got a positive response form my friend.

My Mom's Car as a Girl

Image
        The other day, I tried to draw a pencil sketch of my mothers Toyota, whom we named Silvy. Here is how it came out (the picture is not the best quality :))         On the other page, I have continued the wall. I will make my father's Lexus, named Roxy, leaning on it. Stay tuned!

Manga Girl

Image
              Manga is an art style that originates from Japan. It became more popular during the late 19th century. Manga is also a kind of Japanese comic, directed towards kids and adults alike. What makes manga unique from other styles of art is that little detail is given to a characters nose and mouth. The characters emotions, feeling, and intentions are expressed by it's eyes, which have the utmost detail.          This is my first attempt at a manga girl. I got the inspiration for her form this picture. This picture is a picture from wikiHow under "How to draw a manga girl/boy." Here is the example:         For my copy, I used a 2B and a 6B sketching pencil. I must admit, the left side of the jaw should have been more rounder, so that I could have more room for the eyes.         The dangling earrings are my own personal touch to the cartoon. They are inspired a b...

The Commons

Image
        This is a view of the commons when it snowed last Saturday.          I made this picture entirely out of watercolors (hence the sky). The evergreen trees have Christmas lights strung around them, and there is footprints of a person who walked in the snow. 

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.

Everything Else! Part 2

Image
        This is all the artwork I have made that does not ave anything related to  my Saturday art classes. Please enjoy. :) This is an original idea by yours truly. The bird in the back is a phoenix. I call it, "Essence of the Phoenix." This is a color pencil/pencil piece. These are basic shapes I have for reference at the back of my portfolio. From left to right: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, spiral. This is a small comic I made. It is not finished. The story is about a wolf sent away from her pack. It is, as you can see, completely  made with pencils. This is one of those adult coloring book pages. In case you didn't notice, the shape is a paw print. This is completely made with markers. A color pencil version of a dolphin silhouette in a sunset. Didn't come out too good. The proportions on this picture isn't right, but doing the hair was fun. The best part is the shirt, though.  And that's it! Well, ...

Everything Else! Part 1

Image
        This is every other piece of art I have done that is in my portfolio. This post will be split into two parts. This is part one. My portfolio!  First picture done in my Saturday art classes! Made with oil pastels, and a 2B and 6B pencil. Campfire oil pastel done at home! Also uses a 2B and 6B pencil. Third's a charm! Another oil pastel/pencil piece. This is an abstarct art showing the sun and moon as one, with each background being the opposite of the heavenly body in that half. More oil pastels and pencils. Two swans under the moonlight. So serene. Even more oil pastels and pencils. A horse and a sunset. Perfect! Last oil pastel and 2B/6B picture. My first face/pencil sketch! First charcoal drawing! This is number eight! This is a combination of oil pastels and watercolor. The tree leaves are water color, whereas the sky and grass is oil pastels. The red tree on the left has a bit of green under ...
