My Abrela's senior portrait

Don't laugh, I'm not even close to finishing this portrait of my grandma when she was in her late to early teen years. I think it was her senior photo. Anyway, I'm still working may way from the underlayer coat and I have to watch every brush stroke since in real life, the painting looks like an old photography, which is what I was planning for.

Music Room

This was my ink drawing. At this point, while I was making it, I didnt have an essel with me, thus presenting the slant and uneven-ness of the piano keys. It gets on my nerves so bad, but of course it would for any perfectionists. But by the time I notices it, the ink already dried and there was nothing I could do. But for my first time using ink, I think I did a darn good job. Hopefully

Working Hands

I had the perfect hand on the left then it didn't match up on the bottom hand and then the top hand was a complete mess. Presenting :the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, my idea that I wanted to convey came out exactly how I wanted it to. Where an artist puts their blood, sweat and tears into their own artwork for themselves, showing the cycle (a.k.a. the hands drawing the hands).

Illusion

Well, first I have to finish this piece, but in the meantime I wanted to make an Illusion with figures-since i never made an illusion before (it is WAYYY harder that one would think, and it even confused the person drawing it). I tried to make it to where you did know which figure's body is missing or is somewhere else (at this time the orange figure morphs into the yellow figure).

Nesting Dolls

This artwork was made with pastel and crayon, something I don't normally use. It was a bit hard for me since I wanted to emphasis shadow yet keep hints on what they were.
On this project, I had fun with their faces, the eyes made their faces and each had a different expression that I hopefully conveyed through the nesting dolls.

Black/ white face

This artwork was actually fun for me, it was different than what i was used to and I actually used black for this piece. I tried to use simple lines, and I think I did a pretty good job with it.
