New Progress Before School Starts

One short day, and I’m back in school! How should I spend my last day of summer vacation? Blogging of course!

Here’s a piece that I’ve been meaning to post but just keep forgetting about. I did this in my watercolor class that I took over the summer.

 I’m not 100% certain on my art-tiara-portrait thing as I was in the last post, but I think I’ll post the new pictures anyway, just to keep it up-to-date.

I have been working on a new piece for the past week or so, and I think it came out really nicely. It’s a sketch that I made sophomore year of what I call the “Creative Bubble” In a nutshell, it’s the doodles that float around in this super crazy mind on paper in bubble form. When I first thought of it in tenth grade I had started it on a giant canvas, but it turned out to be a disaster. So this summer I thought I’d try it again, this time on black paper with pastels, and I think it looks totally awesome.

Here’s the original sketch:

Then what I like to call the skeleton of the piece (as you can see, some stuff in the bubble changed since the original sketch)

Yes, that is my cat. Natasha was helping me throughout this project, so it seems only fair I give her a little credit.

I know everyone else my age would kill me for saying this, but I really want to go back to school.
