KC Mckay

My dearest KC Mckay. Graphite and white Prismacolor on newsprint. I apologize for the glare on this one. Newsprint tends to have a sheen to it, and the graphite on top of that just equals disaster. Also, the paper ripples and yellows super easily. So, as a lesson to you all, don't do drawings on newsprint. I wish I didn't like the smoothness so much... Also, I'm doing a watercolor/pen project using this same picture. Really, this picture just started out as practice for the painting....

KC did a gorgeous oil painting of me, and this was sort of a thank you/ I'm seriously going to miss you on your mission gift. I'll put pictures of the oil painting up soon. Love ya, Kace.

14. Adrien Brody Underpainting

I have been practicing {over the course of the past few months} drawing realistic proportions, and I've been itching to paint again after that gallery I was in. So....

This is what I did during the first three sessions of General Conference. I couldn't be more excited or nervous to paint this. I'm thinking of doing a super-impressionistic Amelie sort of color scheme. But at the same time I don't want to because I'm too afraid I will ruin it and then hate myself forever. And the last thing I want to do is ruin Adrien Brody's face.

And no, police officer who came to our house yesterday investigating a robbery, it is not Errol Flynn.

THIS is Errol Flynn.

Notice how he is, in fact, NOT Adrien Brody.

Comprendo? Comprendo.

Much to tell...

Too little, too late.

Guess what? I've started actually giving titles to my pieces. Aren't you just proud little webernet friends.

Communications through guilt, pen

the majority of this one was drawn without lifting up my hand during a long and boring car ride. The minority {the hatching on the hand}was created while my hand was lifted.

study on the female, pen

If any of you know my style of drawing, drawing chicks is not.my.forte. I hate drawing us. This was very fun though and got out a lot of pent up crap {I love having a creative outlet. If you don't have one, get one.}. FEMINISM RULEZ!

Optimism rocks.
