New Projects!

DESIGN CLASS ---->

New project! We are supposedly fictionally commisioned lol to make an illustrative cover for Virginia Commonwealth Magazine. We can choose from 4 issues:
1.) Winter ( header shown in dark red & dark green)
2.) Spring (header shown in Pink & Light green)
3.) Fall (header shown in Dark brown & orange)
I chose to do Spring, however, i kinda wana do winter too but winter lacks "color" if u paint landscape.
We can illustrate anything that has to do with virginia. Im still browsing for ideas however, i came up with one. I want to illustrate a woman in a swing, a red cardinal sitting on her finger, and Dogwood trees/petals are falling... kinda like a snow effect. In the background, i wanted a Spring-y scenery, maybe some people running, picnic-ing and stuff like that. I plan to use greens, pinks, reds, blue, and lavander. I havent decided what to do with the background yet, i want something DRAMATIC. I definitely want to put a puddle of water there, maybe a lake... n e ideas?

---> DRAWING CLASS
We are to illustrate 5 images provided to us by Daniel Robbins (our instructor, hes cool). Medium is bamboo brushes with japanese ink. We need to illustrate em with complete tonality... adding water for more transparency. Not so excited about this project though.
