Traditional illustration stuff. First two projects.

First is a series of experimentation. The overall theme is to combine two objects in different ways using a variety of different media, techniques, styles, etc. The media used: Watercolor, gouache, acrylic wash, dip pen and ink, markers, charcoal, colored pencil, and graphite.

The next is an illustration for an advertisement. I’m not very confident in my coloring ability, and my original intent to do this piece in acrylic wash ended up in… just plain, ol’ acrylic. The inspiration came from the Nightwish song, “The Crow, The Owl, And The Dove”. Unfortunately… adding in the owl presented a bit of a problem with the overall composition so I chose to completely omit it in the end. The piece could still use some more work and refinement.
