Random Pieces
The flower on the left is oil pastel and the flower on the right is oil paint on paper. Before doing these I had very little experience with oil pastels and no experience with oil paint, so they were good for practice.
People Project
This is my project that deals with the figure. While seeking inspiration for this I stumbled upon this picture of potato people and felt inspired to make a piece with a dude drawing a model who kind of fit conventional beauty standards (white, blonde hair, red lips, etc.) but just does a lil potato person, which reflects kind of reflects the plight of an average artist. People are hard to draw, why not just doodle a potato and put a face on it and call it a day? I did it in pen and put patterns in because I really like pen and patterning, but I haven't done it recently. Then I put some watercolor and marker in to add color. I don’t like this piece at all. It was kind of just tossed together without thinking. Nowhere close to my best. The girl looks awkward and stiff, and not that "pretty". I also like the facial expression on the dude I made while planning this better than the final dude. Overall stiffness in people is a struggle that I'm trying to overcome. I think I just need to overcome stiffness in my own self, because I'm a stiff person. Until then I'll just make lil potato people.
