still life

Used brown painted paper so the shadow is not painted.

While most of my pieces are usually fantasy and manga based, I do try to get outside that box. The same goes for mediums used as well. Here's a bit of still life of a ramen cup because I admit to having a bit of an obsession with ramen. I do like to cook myself but I tend to cut corners somedays as well...

Taken from an instagram challenge. Done with markers and fineliner in my A4 sized sketchbook.

Still life painting with acrylics ...oranges

A little exercise in my sketchbook to create a non-narrative comic. Just graphite, digitally colored.

I recently discovered oil pastels and am being amazed every day at how versatile they are. While cleaning my desk this morning I found some blank ATCs (Artist trading cards, 2.5x3.5") and wondered if I could work small with such a bulky medium. Turns out, absolutely yes.

Most of the first six years of doing art, I used pencil. This took me about 10 - 12 hours of work.Most of the work was on the different tones of the tea pot.
