Colored Pencil Alchemy

Greetings everyone!
I was going to wait until the weekend to post but I thought I'd give you an early Labor Day treat. I realized recently that I hadn't posted any of the more time consuming illustrations that I had done for my Elder Scrolls Art Book project so I thought I'd share one with you today.

This one is of my Skyrim favorite, Merion the Lioness. She's not very good at Alchemy, and can only really make basic healing potions, so here she is slaving over an Alchemy table trying everything in her inventory to gain stats or make something she can at least sell. For this one I decided to use some earthy brown paper I picked up at Micheal's on clearance. I was eager to try some lighting effects with colored pencils and ink for contrast. I'm quite happy with it. I used this paper for a few of the illustrations so far but I will also be mixing it up with some watercolor and digital illustrations as well.

Stay tuned for more! I have a three day weekend coming up. Which means lots of time for working on projects so I'll have more to share coming up!

Watercolor Practice

A small watercolor painting I’ve been working on and off since the holidays. My character Alice from a comic that me and Ryan want to work on in the future. It’s not hugely important for us to get done soon so it might pop up in the next few years. Otherwise I’ll just keep drawing her for fun. I tweaked the colors to be brighter and more vibrant since my scanner ate them. I also forgot when I painted it that I wasnt' going to give her a pink nose anymore. Awell. It was fun to work on and I learned a lot from it.
