Sketch of Max Yawning

Here is a sketch of Max yawning. I always think of this picture when I think of him. I miss him.

Curmudgeon the Squirrel and 1st Painting

So this is Curmudgeon the Squirrel. Why I choose the name Curmudgeon, I don't know, it popped into my head as I was drawing him. To me it's ironic, because he's not curmudgeous at all. Quite cute, actually.

Here is my progroess on my Apple painting. You can see how I'm making an apple look round with different shades of red, orange and blue. Blue? Yes, there is blue on the dark side of the apple. It's interesting to learn about color theory. You don't just add black to a color to make it darker. On the light side of the apple it goes from white, yellow-white, yellow-orange, orange, orange-red, red, pure red. On the dark side of the apple it's red - dark red, and then adding in an increasing amount of a purple-blue.

10 more Apples to go!

After about 30 hours of drawing, I finished...

My teacher has officially signed off on it. No picture this time, because you wouldn't see any differences from the last picture. It looks pretty much the same with some "technical" changes.

I have ordered my paints and will probably start painting next February. Exciting!
