college illustrations

 A record of some works from college illustration classes. Some of them I like, others make me cringe!

1998 oil pastel, Wrapped Around My Finger. 16x20"

 I was thinking of Brian Froud's work when I did this one, though it's not nearly as entertaining or lovely as his paintings.

1999 prismacolor on paper, Midsummer Night's Dream 18x24"

Yeah, I know her chest is a little...much. But it was the teacher's idea. And her head is a wee bit small. This was published in Midsummer Magazine for the Utah Shakespearean Festival.

1998, pastel and charcoal on paper, Taming of the Shrew, 16x24"

 This was for an article about science and religion working together.

1999 oil on illustration board 14x20"

watercolor rocks

This is a small (5x7) watercolor and pen sketch, from a photograph taken in Moab, Utah. THe rock was really fun to do, but the person could use more work. Still, I like the colors!

Still life and Pastels

These are some college works in pastels and prismacolor. I really liked everything we worked on in this class; I wish I could find the rest of them! Most of these are from around 1998; the last was drawn in 2000.
