Thumbelina

This was a really cute assignment I did for my illustration class! Anyway, this is some concept work for a Thumbelina storybook, done with colorpencils and tweaked up with Photoshop.

A birthday present for my baby sister! Happy 12th, Mirha!

Persephone

Greek mythology is amazing, and my favourite legend has always been the story of Persephone and Hades, so I decided to illustrate the main characters, to play around with costume design. This took way too long to finish (almost two weeks!), but I'm happy with how it turned out.

This is the first half of the project, the other half (which I'm working on right now) will feature Hades.

Line art & Initial flat colors

A Study in Racoons

Searching for reference photos for this project was excruciating. I despise spiders, although I don't think I'd squish a Spider/Pocket-Watch hybrid...

(Watercolors on A3) 

The result of my 1st year exam! The assignment was to take a famous figure and give them a completely different career choice. I chose Vincent van Gogh, as a clown.

(Oil pastels, color pencils and NeoColors)

Ballerina

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates, but now that the school year is at an end, I finally have time to update this blog. And I'll be able to do it everyday, since I have a bunch of art to upload! Anyway, here is a ballerina silhouette done on photoshop.

This is basically me trying a more comic-book style.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

My latest assignment was to illustrate a famous proverb; I chose The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. This was done with ink and watercolors.
