Trompe l'oeil project

When viewed at the right angle it should look like her head is stretching out of the wall. It doesn't work quite as well as I would like.

Speed paints

Some speed paintings I've done recently.

Life Drawing project

The goal was to imitate another artist's style, background optional. In my case it was Leyendecker. Started as a 10min gesture in class.

2 point perspective

This is my cityscape project, loosely based on the city of Braavos from A Song of Ice and Fire series. I could work on it a bit more, upping contrast and grouping values but I had to turn it in as is. Graphite

Halfway through I somehow messed up my photoshop settings and making a stroke wouldn't do anything. Couldn't figure it out so I switched to painter. Remains unfinished.
