Pinecone Painting

To me personally pinecone should really just be one word, you know kind of like pineapple, although I guess there's probably some weird English rule that will override my wish for pinecone to eventually become one word. However until such time occurs, I shall continue writing pinecone as one word. Maybe someone could explain to me why pinecone is spelled that way. Okay, back to the point of this post.

This project took several hours to complete, although while I am pleased with how it turned out, I feel like I could have done a whole lot better on it. Hence why I am deciding to redo my painting hopefully in the relatively upcoming future, even though I'm going to be working on another project at the same time. I really want to nail this painting as best as I can. This painting was done in acrylics on a 7" x 10" illustration board. Anyways, here is my painting!

About Last Semester... (cont.) (Still Life Project)

Alright, so this was the main project of the semester (we're getting close to the end now!) which took several weeks to complete. I'm quite happy with it! Of course there is still a lot to improve upon, but for the most part I feel pretty good about it.

First we drew out our thumbnail of our still life.

Then we painted over our thumbnails to get a basic idea of how we wanted to paint our final piece. (I chose the last one)

And once we have chosen the scheme that we want we go ahead and paint it! Pretty neat huh!

Deadliest Moth

Hey, haven't posted on here in a while, so here's a moth crossed with a Swiss Army Knife that I drew. Hope you like it.
This was rendered in graphite on illustration board and was a project for my animation/illustration class.
