Portrait of the Wasp as a Young Man - WIP

I'm really enjoying painting bugs, if you can't tell. This is my 5th project for my Art 86 class. I'm just having a bit of fun with this one. Of course, I usually try to have a bit of fun with the art I'm making. If it's not enjoyable, why would I do it?

This is still a work in progress, I've got a lot of rendering and fiddling left to do. Mere details, really.

Update: March 14, 2011
I finished it ages ago and forgot to post about it. Silly me.

Insects

These are some large insects I drew for Art 86. I used the Airbrush variants in Corel Painter and reference photos gleaned from the internet.

Anatomy project, WIP

I can't seem to stop posting about projects I'm working on. This is the last post today, I promise. This is my third project for Art 86, nearly done.

House v Death Cat, Round 2

Version 2, colored using a brush I created.

Spaceman - actually finished

No, really, this time I'm done.

Thom Yorke, Man of Awesome

This is for an exercise using the Cloning brushes in Corel painter. It's Thom Yorker, man of awesome and lead singer of Radiohead. Much time was spent on this image. I loved every second of it.

This is also Thom Yorke. You may notice that it's the same portrait, but looks different. I rejected it for turning in, but still wanted to share it. He looks kind of insaner in this portrait, which amuses me greatly. It's also much starker than the other one, I think because of all the aggressive brush strokes.

New drawing, WIP

I haven't really practiced drawing this summer, so I thought better later than never. I finally got around to installing my Wacom tablet onto this laptop. This is the result of one hour of effort on my part. Not very interesting perhaps, but practice is practice.

Drawn in Corel Painter, with Wacom tablet. I think I used charcoal brushes and the "Just Add Water" blender. It's not of anyone in particular, I'm just drawing from imagination. Maybe I'll find someone in particular to draw eventually, but for now I just need to re-familiarize myself with the program and the tablet.

I'm so happy that I can use my tablet again.
