first print of the year!!
not very satisfied with it, so you get dis .gif of my proof print instead.
added watercolour and gold ink on top!


rough sketch before i went on etchin.
i think if i'd been able to achieve the same thickness as i did with pencil, i'd be a lot happier with the etching. a lot of the finer details were lost because my lines were way too thin. :c i also probably should've left it in the acid for a little longer. :u


sketch-->transfer with oil pastel


i really like how it looks on the plate before all that acid business. ; u ;


werkspace (are you sick of this face yet???)

i have a new scanner! \o/
after four complicated and incredibly frustrating years with my old canon printer-scanner, it finally crapped out on me right before the new semester began. worst timing or perfect timing?? i do not know.
this new scanner is superfast though! it even scans my paintings a million times more vibrant than they actually are! can't really say if this is a good or bad thing yet... :'D

BUT TO CELEBRATE HERE IS SOME ARRRT.
practicing faces and gouache and stuff.


watercolour inks


gouache and black ink
my first attempt at gouache! again! i still have no idea what kind of treatment i should be giving the gouache. still at a trial&error stage. :c
i absolutely do not like how i inked his hair. IT IS TERRIBLE FORGIVE ME.
also, is there a name for oval-shaped eyebrows? I REALLY LIKE THEM. kind of like what Machiko Kyo had in Rashomon?


some wonky eye business there


gouache and black ink
self portrait???as a badassmuthasucka
irl the painting is a lot more sloppy and blotchy. the scanned version has kind of.. hidden all of those flaws. :Y


this is all i have to offer in the meantime.
TIME 2 GET SOME SLEEP.
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, BLAWG.
