I've recently experimented on one of my sketches in the GIMP.

Here's what I have so far:





I'm trying to draw her hair and a kind of hair net hat. I've mostly used the dodge and burn tools so far, but now I am kind of stuck. I had lines to go by for the rest of the face, but now I don't have any basis for the hair. Any suggestions what I could do?

Here's the original sketch, by the way:

I don't have any suggestions for you, I just wanted to say you're really talented.

My paintings from spring quarter are done drying, so I took some photos of them. The shots are pretty poor quality.









And here's a closeup from of the second painting.


And some quick things I've done recently.

A few poses for a random guy.


I was working on a dock scene inspried by artwork from Curse of Monkey Island, but then I decided to do something influenced by the Milk Man level in Psychonauts.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I'm certain it'll come before the Udderless Cow and Something Killed the Sly.

Well, at least I burried those games under a lot of shame and years. You still bring up illustrations as proof of the game's once and future existence.

I've been really lazy and haven't finished any artwork in a long time, which is ridiculous since I keep meaning to do a portfolio and learn more about art at art college. Part of my problem is confidence, since I dont' think I'm very good and I get frustrated at my inability to clearly visualise what I want a piece to look like. I have a load of rough sketches with neat ideas.

I tend to focus on my subject and then totally crap up the background. So I need to work more on backgrounds and study some works with lovely backgrounds. I'm a big fan of Mary Blair and Eyvind Earle, I love the sinister vibes lurking behind their bright colours and themes.

Here's a good example of a crap background after I focused a lot of energy on making the children look the way I wanted:



Lately I've been doing up some wedding stationery for my sister and some other people. Here's an example of this:



I keep meaning to finish something I started inspired by a creepy legend I heard about a cinnamon bird. I'll post it here once it's satisfactory.

Heya' Jaz. Is there any way I might beseech you for a higher quality pic of this? I love this piece and want to at least use it for my desktop wallpaper but I’m loosing too much quality when I scale it up.

Also, I don't know if this piece is for sale or not but I am willing to pay well if you would be willing to part with it.

Thx.

Wow, it seems to be really popular, since you're the second person requesting it as a desktop. Tell me your screen resolution, and I'll see what I can do.

At the moment I don't plan on selling it. But should I ever think of selling it, I will notify you for sure.

Jaz's piece, upon reflection, has a Van Gogh feel to it*:


The Starry Night

KJ reminded me about the past. I used to draw a lot of comics as a kid, so I dug up my old sketchbooks again and decided to scan in two comics. These are from '95/'96:



1) "Math is postponed tomorrow, mom." "--Why is that?"
2) "I hit Mrs. Sonja when I was playing baseball."
3) "--On the playground?"
4) "No, on the head."

I'd scan in my earliest comics, who are awesome/awful, but I'm too lazy.

Dutch is such a cool language: English+ German+ a little from the nordic languages. I'd love to learn it some day.

I wish I still had my earliest comics. I was 10 and obsessed with GI-Joe, and I drew dozends of 10 page-long episodes. One day I found out that my mom threw them all away.
