Lana Del Rey Tribute

This is a page from my sketchbook inspired by the song "Dark Paradise" by Lana Del Rey. The lyric I was most interested in was "...There's no remedy for memory...".

I love her album "Born To Die" its so nice to have an album you can listen to all the way through. I'm teaching myself "Video Games" on the guitar right now. Its a great song to practice playing if your a beginner like myself. 

I used a lot of different mediums on this one and was able to get a matte effect. Now I want to use a more reflective paint to contrast the bottle with the label and background. 

Royal Icing

A long time ago I drew these cupcake girls as a quick sketch. I am working on finishing them now. I think of these girls as friends of Marie Antoinette in her royal court for some reason. I love the Marie Antoinette movie with Kristen Dunst. The imagery is so inspiring and the soundtrack is nice too! 

This is just a start. Now I am collecting toile textile patterns as inspiration. I think it would be cool to tile these girls and create a fancy pattern of them. 

Here is a clip from the movie for fun.

 

Love is Love

I watched Young Frankenstein while I made this :) I love all things spoooooooky!!

Keep Drawing!

I was cleaning my room today and found a bunch of old sketchbooks. I was looking through them and thinking of who I was when I was filling them. Its interesting to look back at observation drawings and remember where I was or who I was with and why I wanted to capture that thing in my sketchbook at that specific moment. Most of the drawings were bad but I remember how hard I was trying and even now I can see improvement in my self as I scroll through each sketchbook.
I think its true what people say, everyone has bad drawings in them and you have to draw as much as possible to get them out. A comfort you can take in this is you will never go backward in skill. You will only get better.
Here are some pictures I liked from one of my sketchbooks.
