Flower Study and BRAVE

Here's a Flower study I did!
Things I've learned?

1) The leaves and petals of this particular flower are very wrinkled. I LIKE IT!

2) The thickness of the two sides of a leaf (And I'm assuming all leaves of any plant) gets really small before it connects to the spine of the leaf.

3) There are a lot of little hairs on the leaves and stems of this flower. It's also a little sticky.

I also discovered that there were teeny weeny dead bugs stuck to the plant. I assumed this was because the hairs and stickiness. It made me think of how some carnivorous plants do the same sort of thing. Then I got to wondering what that might look like. I mean, how do you eat something through your skin? So I drew that too haha


I also attempted drawing one of the leaves using light instead on line. To my dismay, it ended up just looking like I was drawing with shapes... And then I couldn't resist adding some line. But it's a step in the right direction right? haha


I'm SO pumped for Brave! For those who don't know, it's Pixar's upcoming film (Comes out June 22, 2012).
Here's the Trailer & Wiki as well as a little compilation of some teaser images I've found and put together.

Have a great day!

School's out for the summer!

School's out and I finally have a chance to breath and post! Expect some artwork from throughout the school year. After I fix them up of course ;P

In the meantime, here's a quick back study/digital painting practice piece I started.
I thought I should post the original drawing with the start of the painting, you know, to show process and such. What doya think so far? I'm new to digital painting so I'm SO open to any and all critique or comments.


Also, if you like Pixar at all, or if your at all excited for Brave......
THEN YOU MIGHT ENJOY THIS AS MUCH AS I DID!!
