More exploring under the sea

Crows found

So I discovered some good stuff in my visual journal, so I decided to share the find. 

Exploring some under the sea concepts

I have been focusing on the creatures of the air for too long, so I decided to take a short hiatus, to rekindle my imperation.

The crow series (gotta figure out a better name...)

I have started my new Art series. I am focusing on the presence of crows in Different Religions. While most of you know, I have a thing for drawing birds. I wanted to go deeper into the concept of birds in human history. While I was researching the many myths and legends behind Birds and humans, I found something way more near and dear... Religion.

In almost every religion there is a story or an iconic moment where a crow makes an appearance. From Christianity to Greek mythology, and Native American legend to Norse lore, crows have made an entrance.

See if you can guess which crow this is.

First attempt at Anime

My students are all in love with anime. And after months of waring me down they finally convinced me to create an anime art lesson. However in order to teach anime techniques, you kind of need to know how to draw anime. So I decided to give it a try

Let me just say Anime is a drug, I have always hated anime. I didn't like the way it looks, and I didn't think it took any skill to draw. That being said, this anime picture was the gate way drug. After I researched anime enough to teach a lesson on the subject, I was hooked, and now there are very few anime shows I have not watched at this point. Anime has become my guilty pleasure.

So I hope you enjoy!!!

HPE Read-A-Thon T-Shirt Design

The school I work for does a fund raiser every year where the students read to raise money for the school. This year I decided to put help out by creating a t- shirt design. The money from the shurt sales will also go towards supporting the school.
