Watercolor sketch cards

I've been taking part in a watercolor workshop at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens on Tuesday mornings. Apart from getting up at the crack of dawn to bike there it's been a fantastic session. Our professor is seriously top-notch, one of those instructors that really sees into the work you are creating.

Tomorrow is the last meeting, so we are all bringing little watercolors for the rest of the class to take home with them.

Here are a few of mine;









Still happily stuck on the fountain pen :) This particular brand of ink (super cheap, therefore incredibly non-waterproof) creates some really interesting results when mixed with the watercolor. Probably not archival in the least bit, but I'll be sure to scan them before taking them to class tomorrow.

Another pen + water illustration

Still playing with inks.
My plan was get outside this morning and draw some plants, but it was 92 degrees. 92!!! I guess I'm going to need to adjust my schedule slightly if I want to draw outside and avoid sweating through my clothes. 7 am should be decent, now if I can only convince myself to roll out of bed that early I'll be all set!

Saying Goodbye.

So I finished Mass Effect 3 last week. (I know, so late!)
I decided to say goodbye to the series I've played since winter of 2007 with a painting of my favorite character. Seemed fitting.

A few random WIP shots: (I need to get better about taking WIP screenshots...)

Mordin was a fantastic character. The final scene on Tuchanka was rough.
