Experimenting: Media

One of the things I wanted to do with my time this summer was experiment with media I don't often use.  I also wanted to try and play with a more graphic kind of aesthetic style and see what would come of it.  The following few works are the results of this experimenting. 

Swim Free
8.5" x 11"
Ink and Watercolor on Paper

This, starting as just a doodled sketch, evolved to be the first of a small series of ink and watercolor drawings.  I really love the bold contrast of the solid black ink with the flowing, light watercolor.

Inky
6.5" x 7.5"
Ink and Watercolor on Paper

My obsession with tentacles coming out, again.  And the face ended up looking a bit like a self portrait, unintentionally. It also sort of reminds me of old paintings of deities done in a purposefully flat style, which I find pretty fun about it.

Pretty Dead
8.5" x 11"
Ink and Watercolor on Paper

She's pretty wicked. I like her.

Lucyfur
~6.5" x 9"
Watercolor on Paper

All watercolor, this one. Steven's cat's name is Lucy, and I sometimes affectionately call her Lucifer, or Lucyfur as the title suggests. She has the most gorgeous eyes I think I've ever seen, lime green and golden.
