Watercolor Fabric

What I've been working on in the world of watercolor... Fabric.  The first one (which I kinda like) was done in class, and the second (which I kinda don't like) was done at home.  The at home assignment featured fabric, sitting on a marble table top, with a woodgrain background.  All required.

Self Portrait Project Continued...

Our most recent photo project was to go off of one of our self portrait ideas and make 3 more prints... I decided to go off of my Explorer/Gorilla idea.  The first image is my original self portrait, and the second is the first print of the next project that I brought to my teacher... he then explained to me how to split filter, a process that takes advantage of both layers of emulsion on the photo paper... the following 3 images are split filtered.

Marble Floor

Our most recent assignment in watercolor was to mimic stone patterns and design a marble floor... here was mine, I'm not 100% satisfied with most areas actually, but I do like the green patch on the right... that was the last area I painted, and about the time I started figuring out the "trick"

Chair Work

After being closed again last weekend due to inclimate weather, I finally spent a "real" Saturday drawing at the park... meaning it was busy.  Here are a couple quick ones I did today. 

Each drawing no more than 15 minutes...

Better Now?

**FINAL**
I've still been wrestling with some background ideas here and I have something that I like a little better... 

Also I cleaned up the hairline and made some sensitive adjustments to some of the line weights...

Let me know what you think, any and all input is well appreciated! thanks!

Self Portrait - Photography

Okay, This was a hard project.  Mainly because of the concept, we were forced to think of who we are, how others see us and how we perceive ourselves.  Deep stuff, I thought so at least.  Three prints were required, one of "What we fantasize about," "How we see ourselves" and "How others see us."

I'll let you guess which image belongs to each concept... 

Ignore the digital bits on the middle one, I have no idea how they got there, my apologies.
