African Goddess






I had to do a painting for school as well. Impressionism, Fauvism, and Expressionism. (All three styles in a week) This is Fauvism. And it was the best out of the three I had to do. I may paint a new one, or simply use my favorite medium, colored pencils. I may also post the other two (which weren't as good) and post an "updated version" of those paintings. But this one was my favorite, and I loved how it came out. I may have to get this one framed... :)

Dreamscape with Wind Turbines and Grassy Landscape

I had to do an "abstract landscape" for school- so here it is. When my family and I moved from Illinois to Tennessee, we passed by a wind farm, and I remember how beautiful the wind turbines were in the day time, and how amazing they were at night.  I wanted to have something of a beautiful haunted feeling about this picture.




I really liked how the moon came out- I also tried to throw in a little perspective in here. I must have done a good job, because my sensei gave me an A! (Yay!)




This was the second drawing I did.  I did not exactly get the effect I wanted (T-T)... I was sort of trying to make it unique and have it kind of like the viewer is laying down in the field. (I don't know why- I was trying to be different and stand out) But I got an A for this one too.  I will likely have to try drawing a landscape again, and this time do what I wanted right.  I only had a week to draw two landscapes, and so I had to put a rush on them. I usually do not like rushing my drawings, but that was what had to be done. But anyway, here they are in all their pride and glory. My Landscapes. :)

Close up of Avatar Cat!!

I wanted to do a self-portrait, but none of the sketches I came up with looked like me, nor were they good looking... Since I love manga and cats, I decided to put the two together.  Came out pretty good I think!!
People with cat ears are very popular, and I think they are really cute... :)  I wanted to get a closeup of the pic, and give people the chance to see it up close. My mom really liked the colors in this, and my brother said that this seemed like it was straight out of a manga... their comments made me so happy!!  I would like to do more like this, and hopefully more detailed.
